America: All the Bush Family Can Steal
Posted by Jill | 4:56 PM
Remember when old Babs Bush, that vile spew of a woman, donated money for Hurricane Katrina relief but only with the stipulation that it be used to buy educational software from son Neil's company? Well, it turns out that old Neil, he of the Thai hookers who came to his hotel room to have sex with him out of the goodness of their hearts, has been getting a nice sum of taxpayer cash shoveled into his pockets through his company, and the Education Department's Inspector General smells a rat:

The inspector general of the Department of Education has said he will examine whether federal money was inappropriately used by three states to buy educational products from a company owned by Neil Bush, the president’s brother.

John P. Higgins Jr., the inspector general, said he would review the matter after a group, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, detailed at least $1 million in spending from the No Child Left Behind program by school districts in Texas, Florida and Nevada to buy products made by Mr. Bush’s company, Ignite Learning of Austin, Tex. Mr. Higgins stated his plans in a letter to the group sent last week.

Members of the group and other critics in Texas contend that school districts are buying Ignite’s signature product, the Curriculum on Wheels, because of political considerations. The product, they said, does not meet standards for financing under the No Child Left Behind Act, which allocates federal money to help students raise their achievement levels, particularly in elementary school reading.

Ignite, founded by Neil Bush in 1999, includes as investors his parents, former President George H. W. Bush and his wife, Barbara. Company officials say that about 100 school districts use the Curriculum on Wheels, known as the Cow, which is a portable classroom with software to teach middle-school social studies, science and math. The units cost about $3,800 each and require about $1,000 a year in maintenance.


I was right in 1988 and I am now: This bunch of chazzers thinks this country's treasury is theirs to plunder at will. I hope that the next time they try to shove one of their disgusting spawn on us, that Americans remember what kind of greedy trash this family is.
