On a follow-up to my post #112...

Al Gore tried this same tactic in 2000 with Winifred Skinner.

Al Gore said, "It brings tears to your eyes. Here's this adorable, elderly woman out in Iowa who's so sick and so poor, that in order to pay for medicines she needs to stay alive, she has to scavenge in a local dump yard for cast-off tin cans."

"She gets a small pension," he said. "But in order to pay for her prescription drug benefits she has to go out seven days a week, several hours a day, picking up cans."

It turns out, as the statement was rectified, Mrs. Skinner goes out zero days a week, for zero hours a day, and that she was only speaking "in the name of" people she assumes must do this.

So add Kathy Bush and this family to the list of fraudsters.

Here is an interesting thought. The libs, in looking for true victims of circumstance, just happen to come across phony cases.

What does that say about the proportion of REAL victims to people just wanting to steal our money?
