12. sounds more like a stress re-liver than a reliever, to me!
Seeing big photos and displays bragging about Bar and Dubya would be enough to send me over the edge, were I in the evacuees' situation.

13. Maybe they can compare Bush I's deer in the headlights
reaction to the 92 LA riots to Bush II's deer in the headlights reaction to NO.

14. Bill Clinton mentioned the other day that all of the president's
libraries had agreed to donate their admission fees to the relief fund. I'm not sure if that was only over the holday weekend or for a longer period of time. Possibly the free admission to stranded storm victims was a part of that donation? I'm no lover of any of the bush family...blech...but I do recall hearing Clinton's announcement.

To whom it may concern:

I read on the Internet that your facility is waiving admission to the museum/library:

• Museum: The George Bush Presidential Library and Museum will waive admission fees for anyone stranded in the Bryan-College Station area by Hurricane Katrina. To receive complimentary admission, present a Louisiana or Mississippi driver's license at the museum admissions desk.

WHAT ARE YOU PEOPLE, OFF YOUR ROCKERS????

Do you SERIOUSLY think the victims of Katrina want to step foot anywhere near anything bearing the Bush name? I’ve seen a lot of outrageously ridiculous things in my life, but this one has to take the cake.

You should be ashamed of yourselves for wanting to rub salt (the name Bush) into the wounds of these poor people. Besides, if you treat them too nicely they'll all want to stay in TX, and Barbara thinks that's scary, per her insensitive comments made Tuesday.
