It's easy to understand why a member of the Bush family would be offended by someone with "a long history of fraud," and how they would feel the need to speak out:

Bush's Nephew, in Mexico, Calls Arming of Border Guards 'reprehensible'

MEXICO CITY (AP) - President Bush's nephew, campaigning for overseas votes in Mexico on Saturday, called the federal policy of arming U.S. Border Patrol agents with plastic pellet guns "reprehensible."

Speaking in a mix of English and sometimes-halting Spanish, George P. Bush said his uncle was not to blame for the gun policy, which has angered Mexicans. He instead blamed it on "some local INS (Immigration and Naturalization Service) guy who's trying to be tough, act macho."

"If there has been American approval for this policy, that is reprehensible," Bush said of the guns, essentially paintball projectiles filled with chile powder. "It's kind of barbarous." He also acknowledged that "there are some people in our (Republican) party who don't see the benefits of immigration," but promised that President Bush was a proponent of immigration reform.

He called Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez "a dictator" and cast doubt on his victory last week in a recall referendum, saying Chavez had "a long history of fraud." Outside observers, including former President Jimmy Carter, have endorsed the Venezuelan vote counts.



George P. Bush reportedly had "no comment" regarding THIS "guy who's trying to be tough, act macho:"

1. Wow - the Office of the President sure has lost a lot of power...

I guess that local INS guy has veto power over the President now.

2. P and his family have a long history of fraud

to then go and claim that SOMEBODY ELSE has the problem, is typically REPUBLICAN.
