Considering that many of the displaced probably saw their lives flash before their eyes and perhaps left family, friends or pets behind... "this is working very well for them" is pretty frickin' cold.

And we have a winner...

And your point is that you're as callous as Babs the Bitch.

Waaaah


She is. She's a piece of white trash with zero compassion. She's as disconnected from reality as the rest of the Bush gang.

Wicked little patrician bitch thinks that its OK for poor people to be treated like crap because they are poor anyway. With a mom like that, no wonder Jr is such a despicable little human being...

so she was wrong? you think they were privileged?

You are serious aren't you? The point little man is not that she is right or wrong about whether they are underprivileged - btw, she is right. The point is that when providing relief for people following an emergency, you should not consider their economic standing in relation to the relief provided. More over, you should not justify the level by saying they are "underpriviledged anyway".

In any event - anybody that knows anything about this horrid old bag, knows this is not her first such verbal miscue. For those of you who don't, do a google search on her "beautiful mind"...

who the fvck are you calling little man? 😕

and PUHLEESE do not tell me you actually believe that relief was hastened due to economic status of those affected by the hurricane. that is so much bullsh!t.
but you hang on that if it makes you feel better.

Little girl, I am Napalm.

Please show me where I claimed relief was hastened due to economic status. In the later grades they will cover reading comprehension - be patient...

your insults only prove you have a small mind.

you should not consider their economic standing in relation to the relief provided.

were you not accusing them of this? 😕

Its a funny thing - when ever I read something from someone who chooses to justify something that is wrong I feel the urge to insult them - then I often act on this urge. Its a sign of weakness I suppose. BTW - was you comment about my small mind an insult? I was not entirely sure...

In answer to your last question: no.

try to control your urges. bad things could result.

i interpret what Mrs. Bush said differently than you do. that doesn't make me a bad person.

Maybe you should actually LISTEN to the clip rather than just reading it? She does the Bush Family pause and laugh during her statement. You'll understand when you listen to it.

it's probably a nervous laugh, because no matter what she says someone is going to misconstrue it to fit their agenda.

no, it wasn't. listen to the clip. i'd give you a link, but it's been taken offline, you'll have to find it yourself. stop being stubborn and adamant if you haven't listened to it.

edit: here's a transcript that at least includes the chuckle: http://www.editorandpublisher.com/eandp..._display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1001054719

What the hell are you two talking about? 😕

Do you have any proof that moshquerade is wealthy, or that she's somehow wrong in saying that 250,000 people with no property who settle in TX would not cause issues? Am I detecting some issues with women who speak their minds with you two?

well, I interpreted his comment as being against barbara Bush, since personal attacks like that are not allowed on here.

maybe im missing something

 

[randym431]

You'd think the wife of one US president and the mother of another would think about her words prior to saying them on national TV.

That family cant, its their nature.

Al Franken has a great tale of a flight he happened to be on with Barbara.
He talked with her, light chit chat. Then he made a little harmless joke about the way GW laughs, with his shoulders going up and down. Barbara said "I?ve never seen him do that". Then when AL tried to tell her he wasn?t making a issue, just an observation. Barbara look at Al, and waved her hand saying "I'm through with you". Al tried to continue and she again waved her hand saying "I'm through with you".

People treat her like a kind mother figure. In fact, she thinks she?s the queen bitch.

Its awful black mark on American history that these people, this family, ever held any office.

And that has what to do with this thread?

 

[Ballsack]

Here is an article from The Nation regarding the Bush family's attitudes to the disaster.

Barbara Bush: It's Good Enough for the Poor
By John Nichols

Finally, we have discovered the roots of George W. Bush's "compassionate conservatism."

On the heels of the president's "What, me worry?" response to the death, destruction and dislocation that followed upon Hurricane Katrina comes the news of his mother's Labor Day visit with hurricane evacuees at the Astrodome in Houston.

Commenting on the facilities that have been set up for the evacuees -- cots crammed side-by-side in a huge stadium where the lights never go out and the sound of sobbing children never completely ceases -- former First Lady Barbara Bush concluded that the poor people of New Orleans had lucked out.

"Everyone is so overwhelmed by the hospitality. And so many of the people in the arena here, you know, were underprivileged anyway, so this, this is working very well for them," Mrs. Bush told American Public Media's "Marketplace" program, before returning to her multi-million dollar Houston home.

On the tape of the interview, Mrs. Bush chuckles audibly as she observes just how great things are going for families that are separated from loved ones, people who have been forced to abandon their homes and the only community where they have ever lived, and parents who are explaining to children that their pets, their toys and in some cases their friends may be lost forever. Perhaps the former first lady was amusing herself with the notion that evacuees without bread could eat cake.

At the very least, she was expressing a measure of empathy commensurate with that evidenced by her son during his fly-ins for disaster-zone photo opportunities.

On Friday, when even Republican lawmakers were giving the federal government an "F" for its response to the crisis,
President Bush heaped praise on embattled
Federal Emergency Management Agency chief Michael Brown. As thousands of victims of the hurricane continued to plead for food, water, shelter, medical care and a way out of the nightmare to which federal neglect had consigned them, Brown cheerily announced that "people are getting the help they need."

Barbara Bush's son put his arm around the addled FEMA functionary and declared, "Brownie, you're doing a heck of a job."

Like mother, like son.

Even when a hurricane hits, the apple does not fall far from the tree.

Bush said that Michael Brown was doing a "heck of a job"? And he said that on Friday!!!

Unbelievable!!!

you REALLY need to work on your bitterness towards life in general. it shows up here and i'm sure it shows up in your every day life.

you don't have many friends, do you? 🙁

you have no right to call me white trash or to say i have zero compassion or that i am disconnected from reality.
belittling others isn't going to make up for your shortcomings. it only shows you have them.

After hearing it, and it sounds like it was on NPR radio, I see no issue at all with what she said. Anyone who does should listen to it.

don't try to reason with conjur he will just call you ridiculous names and make outlandish remarks that have nothing to do with the topic at hand.
really, if he were banned from P&N this would be a lot better place for reasonable mature debate.

Yeah, makes sense. I'm sure you were talking about Barbara Bush being part of the 'Bush gang', considering she's part of the family and all. Definitely not referring to moshquerade as part of an imaginary 'Bush gang' that roam P&N and routinely make expose you as the complete loon that you've become.
