Forget the Statue of Liberty - we now need a statue of Auntie Zeituni, the untired, unhuddled, in fact extremely well-rested illegal alien yearning not to be free, but to live free.
So here she is, the president’s half-aunt, 58 years old, “retired,” living in public housing where Americans must wait years for an opening, getting $700 a month from a system into which she never contributed.
“I have been treated like Public Enemy Number One,” she told Channel 4’s Jonathan Elias the other night.
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. If I ever get in a jam, I ask for no special treatment. Just treat me like an illegal alien. Treat me like Auntie Zeituni.
“I did not take advantage of the system,” she said. “The system took advantage of me.”
How’s that War on Poverty working out for you? About as well as Ted Kennedy’s Immigration Reform Act of 1965, I’d say. They’re only here to collect the welfare checks Americans can’t be bothered collecting.
Elias did a fine job interviewing her, asking all the right questions. He said there was “zero contrition,” which is putting it mildly. And you thought her half-nephew had an astounding sense of entitlement.
Yes, like her nephew’s wife, Michelle, her living-large-as-a-loafer lifestyle is a veritable hell on earth. Like, the BHA apartment.
“I was assigned,” she said. “I didn’t ask for it. They give it to me and you better just ask the system. Ask your system.”
After the election, another one of those blue-ribbon presidential commissions is going to come out with a report on the future of Social Security. Two words for you: “means testing.” Maybe not right away, but it’s coming. Doesn’t matter if you’ve been paying into the system since JFK or LBJ was president, your benefits are going to be reduced if you live long enough.
After all, you wouldn’t want Auntie Zeituni to have to go out and get a job, would you? She’s old. She’s 58.
I hear all the time from moonbats who accuse me of lying about illegal aliens on welfare. It’s like the federal “DREAM Act,” for alleged students, up to the age of 35. It also resembles the in-state tuition bill that Gov. Deval Patrick desperately wants to foist on the working classes. Over and over you read the big lie in the moonbat gazettes, that it’s only for graduates of Massachusetts high schools. Yeah, right, but read the words after Massachusetts high schools - “or the equivalent thereof.”
Meaning, come on down, you too can get the Auntie Zeituni treatment.
At least she has gratitude, unlike her half-nephew and his wife. Now, where do I go to become Public Enemy Number One?
” BTW, “Zeituni” is Arabic for “Olive.”
Olive Oyl??
Who’s Howie supposed to support, Jill Stein?
Dr. Stein or Cahill would be a great improvement
over Romney-Baker-Deval or Deval-Romney.
