Let Them Eat Cake

Various news organizations are quoting former first lady Barbara Bush, while touring the hurricane relief centers with her husband George Bush, as saying This is working very well for them.

In a segment on American Public Media's "Marketplace" at the top of the show on the surge of evacuees to Houston, Barbara Bush said:

Almost everyone I’ve talked to says we're going to move to Houston.

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.

Rhymes. With. Witch.

Can we toss her in the Superdome for an hour or so and see how well she thinks these folks make out then?

This is the president's mother. How can we expect compassion from a man whose mother obviously has none?
