Evacuees at Cajundome wait for first lady, and for lunch

As the first lady toured the Red Cross shelter at the Cajundome this morning, a line of evacuees waiting to eat their lunch trickled out the door of the Dome.

First lady Laura Bush arrived about midday to tour the shelter and meet evacuees.

By 12:50 p.m., the trays of food were still covered and hungry evacuees stood in line, holding empty plates. Rice, beans and jambalaya were on the menu. About that time, volunteers began rolling the carts of food into position to serve.

[Usrename]

7. I really, really needed that. Thanks you guys.

[DrDebug]

[Im with Rosey]

5. I was crazy enough to listen to her

T one point she said something about the children must go to school. It would seem to me that the children must get food, shelter,shoes and clothes, before she comes in and says they need to go to school. Yes, they do need that sense of normalcy but chances are they have lost at least one relative, they have no home and they are starving! How far removed from reality is she!

[JI7]

8. i hate her

i hate how the media tries to portray her as some perfect woman. in reality she doesn't give a shit about anyone other than her own shitty family.

[Im with Rosey]

9. She is so far gone

I have nothing but contempt for her. It would be scary to think what actually goes on in her head. I think she actually believes the bs that they all spout.

14. THOSE CHILDREN HAVE BEEN TRAUMATIZED YOU HEARTLESS TWIT!

Does she not realize how traumatized these children are? They don't want to be separated from their parents at this point! Get them some counseling and leave them alone you UNFEELING TWIT!

[EFerrari]

18. She also called for volunteers to a city where

the Red Cross will not go.

'Way to go, Stepford.

10. kick! n/t

[Spazito]

11. Disgusting, but then again, she is a bush now isn't she.

16. That would soil her mittens!

[Witchy_Dem]

17. Stunned, yet again. This is beyond ludacris.

How can their reality maintain that sort of behavior? How can we enact a change to their reality?

[spuddonna]

19. so disgusting... n/t

[gatorboy]

20. And if you think that's bad....

Food was put on hold for victims while Bush was in town. :puke:

[JI7]

21. as if they are some fucking King and Queen

that the rest of the people have to put a show on for. it's all about them isn't it, it's always about them, never about the people.

[prodigal_green]

23. was anybody hanged

for trying to make eye-contact? How low did they have to bow as she passed.

And why the hell did the relief workers go along with that crap?

[The Backlash Cometh]

22. These Bush people are one photo op after the other.

Who thought they would make good leaders? Did they really think that running a government was like running a corporation?

[Solly Mack]

24. If she wasn't exactly like her husband, she wouldn't allow herself

and more especially the people, to be used that way.

[jhain]

25. she admonished them all to

'keep your kids in school'

WTF? are they suppossed to buy SCUBA gear so the kids can sit at the their desks UNDER WATER?!

[OregonBlue]

28. Thank you, this was so funny that I actually laughed for the first

time in many days!!

[jhain]

29. maybe her dear husband

could snorkle in a read the brown kids a book, too.

[checks-n-balances]

26. But 'Clinton once got a haircut on the tarmac while passengers waited!'

/sarcasm off

I hope they broadcast this NO story from here to high heaven.

[DoYouEverWonder]

27. He was even impeached

for staining a blue dress and they called it ABUSE OF POWER. What do they call this when 1000's of people are literally dying while they wait?
