Guerrilla Journalism (Work in Progress)

CHAPTER 1

            What were Jenna and/or Barbara Bush doing, back in the day, in that car on Lavaca Street just up from the Texas Governor’s Mansion when the red and blue lights of a cop car came on thru the back window? What they were doing, without knowing it, was creating a case of corruption that would involve Austin police and the Bush family and lead an important Latino journalist to lose his job for trying to pursue the story. To set the scene. It’s unclear if it was both of the First Children or just one because the girls, when they were out and about in Austin, were sometimes together and serving as their own posse. You could guess that it was just Jenna because she had a wilder reputation while Barbara was said to be more studious but let’s say, for the purposes of discussion, that it was both. Another question that will also turn out to be important to this narrative is do you know what bodyguards are really there for? Not just to protect the wealthy and important but to keep them from doing dumb shit or to get them out of trouble after they’ve done it.
