In case the arrogance of the Bush elite and their cronies isn't clear -- Republicans are actually presenting the fact that Bush's advisers were attending a wedding in Greece and Condi Rice was watching Spamalot and buying Ferragamo shoes as excuses -- here's the former First Lady of this nation, being interviewed on TV after touring the evacuee centers in Houston:
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."I mean, this is just unbelievable. I don't think even Imelda Marcos ever said anything so crass (okay, she probably has).Then she added: "What I’m hearing which is sort of scary 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 -- this (she chuckles slightly) is working very well for them."
As a former student said today, "the smoke is clearing" -- that the Bush aristocracy's relentless war on the poor, whether in the form of tax cuts, or as cannon fodder, is slowly being revealed.
"The Aristocrats" also happens to be the title of a hilarious documentary about the filthiest joke in the world, the unfunny punch line being "The Aristocrats!" But now the joke's over: guess who was screwing and shitting on and pissing on the poor all along?
