6. Here's the E&P article w/ the quote:
http://www.editorandpublisher.com/eandp/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1001054719

<snip>
In a segment at the top of the show on the surge of evacuees to the Texas city, Barbara Bush said: "Almost everyone I’ve talked to says we're going to move to Houston."

Then she added: "What I’m hearing is they all want to stay in Texas. Everyone is so overwhelmed by the hospitality.

"And so many of the people in the arena here, you know, were underprivileged anyway, so this (she chuckles slightly)--this is working very well for them."
</snip>

:mad:

9. After quoting her on that,
when they showed him again, Keith Olbermann paused and very visibly WINCED.

As if to say, "Yeah, folks...that's what she said...believe it or not..."

8. Well? What do you expect? . . .
Edited on Mon Sep-05-05 07:30 PM by TaleWgnDg
From a mother who says such outrageously self-righteous crap and from a father who vomits all over the Japanese diplomats?

Seriously? How low can our country go?

14. This is test of American's response to LA events & vileness like Bush Klan
She's not merely clueless, those are fightin' words, vile memes meant to split the (think they're) haves from the have nots.

While Bushco. cranks up a racist class war, be sure to send your comments to the papers and the YOUR CONGRESS MEMBERS. DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITY.
