“She’s more than qualified. And just wait ‘til you taste her quesadillas,” Bush says.
President George W. Bush has nominated Maria Conchita Anjelita Rodriguez, who for the last 13 years has been employed as a housekeeper at the Bush family ranch in Crawford, Texas, to replace retiring Supreme Court justice Sandra Day O’Connor, raising eyebrows on both sides of the aisle in Washington.
Many along the beltway have questioned, among other things, Mrs. Rodriguez’s immigration status, a concern the president dismissed as “a non-issue”. “I have spoken this morning with the Immigration and Naturalization Service. Done and done. Bienveni
dos a los Estados Unidos,” the president said. Questions were also raised regarding Mrs. Rodriquez’s apparent lack of English language skills, concerns the president characterized as “elitist”. “I barely speak English, and I’m president,” Bush responded. “Next question.”
The president similarly dismissed other concerns, such as Mrs. Rodriguez’s complete lack of formal education. “There are more important things at stake than whether or not somebody has got a bunch of fancy book learnin,” the president said. “Maria is a God-fearing Christian who considers abortion to be murder and the very existence of homosexuality morally repugnant in every way. Now that’s a Supreme Court nominee we can all get behind. My only concern is who’s gonna take care of Barney, our dog. Barney won’t hardly mind nobody else but Maria.”

Bush also praised Mrs. Rodriquez’s unwavering loyalty to the Bush family. “Maria has been with us for so long, she’s practically a second mom to our daughters,” he said. “And her chili rellenos, I’m tellin’ ya – the best in all of Texas.”
