Bush Discovers Hunger and Looks the Other Way. "When Bush was running for the presidency in 2000, the feds released their annual report on hunger in America [right before Christmas, if memory serves --ed.], and Texas was once again in its perennial spot at the top of the list, No. 1 in hunger. Bush thought it was some dastardly scheme by the Clinton administration to make Texas, and hence Bush, look bad. He denied there were any hungry people in Texas and said, "You'd think the governor would have heard if there are pockets of hunger in Texas." Yeah, you would. But look on the bright side: so he didn't know there's hunger in Texas after six years in office; after only two years in Washington, he's discovered the problem.
