barbara and george bush don't care about poor people

The President's insensitive and asinine comments upon his belated arrival in the gulf area were well publicized. After greeting the homeless and heartstricken, he could only think about the beautiful estate of his segregation-sympathetic friend

"The good news is -- and it's hard for some to see it now -- that out of this chaos is going to come a fantastic Gulf Coast, like it was before. Out of the rubbles of Trent Lott's house -- he's lost his entire house -- there's going to be a fantastic house. And I'm looking forward to sitting on the porch. (Laughter.)

And surprisingly, the White house spin machine continues to post the transcript on their website.

On any other occasion, I would cringe at someone blaming a mothers for the sins of their sons. But in this case, feel free to blame Bush's elitism on his mother not raising him right. Upon visiting the internally displaced at Houston's Astrodome Barbara Bush said on Monday

'What I'm hearing, which is sort of scary, is they all want to stay in Texas. Everyone is so overwhelmed by the hospitality,' she said during a radio interview with the American Public Media program 'Marketplace.' 'And so many of the people in the arena here, you know, were underprivileged anyway, so this is working very well for them.'

Riiiight, Barb, poor people love it crowded, dirty, and underfunded. To think, I actually felt bad for them for a minute AND was inspired by some of the optimism and hope of people who just escaped starvation. Had I known that's how they prefer to live I wouldn't have worried so. I'm going back to being afraid of them.

p.s. Do you like how george pluralized rubble?
