I was watching the news last night (almost enjoyable, given the amount of bush-bashing) when who should pop up in a PSA that Junior's mom, Barb. She was extolling the virtues of eating dinner as a family - apparently, eating together reduces the chances of your children abusing alcohol and/or using drugs.
Um.
Perhaps they could have found better role model, given her kid's alcohol and drug abuse problems? Not to mention Bushy's kid's problems... Not to mention her other son's kid's problems... At least family dinners prevent debauchery, right?
Barb 'Mom O' The Year' Bush's PSA
Posted by carlosmorales at September 27, 2005 02:06 PMSo is it your opinion that a good parent would be LESS involved in his/her child's life?
Or are you more concerned with bashing the first family than with the actual content of the PSA?

I think #2 and #3 are what you're looking for, but the example given #1 is particularly apropos your comment :)
