BARBARA BUSH RELOCATED
Former First Lady Moved to New Location Away From
Cameras, Microphones

Just days after former First Lady Barbara Bush made
widely publicized remarks about people made homeless
by Hurricane Katrina, the White House said today that
Mrs. Bush had been moved to “a new location away from
television cameras and microphones.”

Mrs. Bush, who in talking about Katrina refugees said
that “This is working very well for them” and that
many of them “were underprivileged anyway,” was
transported to a facility where she will have plenty
of food and water but no more media appearances, the
White House confirmed.

“She will be much more comfortable in this new
location, surrounded by armed guards on a 24-hour
basis, than she was at her compound in Kennebunkport,”
said White House spokesman Scott McClellan. “This is
working very well for her.”

Responding to a reporter who questioned whether Mrs.
Bush would be happy being uprooted from her estate,
Mr. McClellan said, “She was overprivileged anyway.”

While the White House took credit for its success in
relocating Mrs. Bush, some congressional critics
argued that it did not act quickly enough to relocate
the outspoken former First Lady.

“This was an emergency situation,” said Sen. Joseph
Biden (D-Del). “They should have relocated her the
minute she opened her piehole,”

For her part, the former First Lady remained out of
view, but released the following official statement:
“I am doing well, but I remain envious of those who
were relocated after Hurricane Katrina – boy, do those
folks have a sweet deal.”

Elsewhere, President Bush mourned the passing of actor
Bob Denver, calling the “Gilligan’s Island” star “a
great American and a role model for me personally.”
