George Bush just became a member of your family....

I guess we would probably not get off to a good start, seeing as I haven't taken all my Kerry signs down. In fact, if I knew he was coming, I would probably wear my Kerry t-shirt too. Nevertheless, we would all be polite to him. He'd fit in with some of my aunts and uncs, I guess.

On thanksgivings day, my family are spread out on separate places all over the country. Does that mean that I can distribute George W. Bush likewise? I want his left leg. Mom gets the head.

Sounds like a good plan to me Liar. Only trouble is I think we all got his middle finger.

He would probably do fine at our Thanksgiving. There's usually close to 40 or so people there, and the vast majority are over 60.

Plus, we have a long, long tradition of hospitality. Even those who don't like his politics wouldn't dare say a word for fear of missing out on my mom's pecan pie, or my great aunt's homemade ginger snaps.

Ginger snaps? I'll be over.
 
It would be kind of amusing to watch him trying to figure my family out. My two uncles would sit at one end of the table, Dave and my Aunt would be trying to impress everyone with his millions. Robin would be trying to act like he didn't make more than most small countries in a year, while his wife would be trying to act like an adult. On another side of the table my brother and his wife would be showing everyone how devoutedly Catholic they were while trying to convince my sister she should become one as well. My sister meanwhile would be trying to explain to Mr. Bush why she has always been on Welfare even though she can work. My sisters kids would be trying to impress the Secret Service Agents with how tough they were while my mother would be telling everyone to shut up and eat god damn it before the food got cold. (In German of course.)

My father meanwhile would be sitting at the head of the table with his customary smile while silently watching Mr. Bush trying to figure out who in the hell the maniac at the table was. You know, the one with the wife in a beautiful dress while he was sitting there in Jeans and a Flannel shirt trying to keep the gravy from dripping off his beard. Yep, that would be me, the Conservative Liberal, (Or the Liberal Conservative depending on my mood at the moment.)

Poor Mr. Bush would be sitting there trying to figure out how such a disparate group could be considered a family, right up until the time he saw someone trying to hurt one of us, then he would realize we can all band together when we needed to. Hmmmm, maybe it would be good for him to see this, then he would understand that diversity is what made America great.

I'd rip out his bowels.

My mother would be respectful.

And my dad would not say a damn word the whole time.
 
It wouldn't be pretty at our house. My mom is a pagan and a former New Yorker. I'd have to watch the cutlery around her while Cousin W was visiting. Not to mention the nice lesbian couple up the street or the NorCal couple across the street who run around half naked all day would cause his little bigoted heart to explode.

I'd personally though wouldn't mind a few hours of polite impolitic discussion with him. Could be informative and give good blackmail info...i mean knowledge of where he's coming from.

A post election Ohio focus group on C-SPAN was asked the following question:

George W. Bush just became a member of your family. He will be with all of you for Thanksgiving dinner. How will he fit in?

What do you think?
