Canadian singer Celine Dion has launched a scathing attack on US President George W. Bush's Iraq policy, while criticizing his country's slow response to the southern states devastated by last week's Hurricane Katrina. Dion, who has donated $1 million to victims of the storm, grew visibly emotional as she told of her frustration watching tens of thousands of survivors wait days for aid on CNN's Larry King Live show on Saturday. The hitmaker fumed, "I open (sic) the television, there's people still there, waiting to be rescued, and for me it's not acceptable. I know there's reasons for it, I'm sorry to say, I'm being rude, but I don't want to hear those reasons." Dion criticized authorities for arresting looters in New Orleans, Louisiana, saying they should make rescuing the stranded victims a priority. She said, "Oh, they're stealing 20 pair of jeans or they're stealing television sets. Who cares? They're not going to go too far with it. Maybe those people are so poor, some of the people who do that they're so poor they've never touched anything in their lives. Let them touch those things for once." Dion referred to Bush's controversial war in Iraq, saying, "How come it's so easy to send planes in another country to kill everyone in a second, to destroy lives? We need to be there right now to rescue the rest of the people."

1. Actually Celine did it first

Her rant was Friday night, Kanye's was Saturday. I just hope more do it.

2. I thought his rant was Friday night ...

and her's was Friday night as well ( or was it Saturday night ) ... but the order of rants should'nt matter - they both agree on the same thing , the relief came too late .

3. I had a similar experience.

On line talking to a black woman who seemed reluctant to discuss NO with whitey. I just started to weep. She ended up comforting me. Strange. The whose thing just consumed me after watching it day after day waiting for someone to come help these people. This is one crime the BFEE will not BS or bulldoze their way through. This cannot go unchecked.
