With a mother like that...

I'm livid.

I was listening to AirAmerica this morning coming to work, and they played two clips from interviews with George W. Bush and his mother Barbara.

He was visiting Trent Lott's destroyed property and was saying that the Senator's home would be rebuilt and would be beautiful, and he couldn't wait for the day he'd be sitting on its brand new porch enjoying something to drink.

Where to begin?! First, he stays on vacation 2 extra days while the storm hits and while people are dying after it's gone. Then, when everyone starts pointing the finger at him for the lack of response, he goes back to DC, but still doesn't have a clue about what to do, and more people die. Then, among mounting criticism from left and right alike, he finally goes to take a look at the situation, but not to help the victims (since the situation didn't improve at all and people are still waiting now to be helped,) simply to show he did go down there, among all those poor, black people, and so he could get his photo op (by the way, when he went down there on Friday, he had the airspace closed so he could land safely and get a good shot of him with his helicopter, thereby delaying the relief efforts for the whole time he was there.) And now, we find out that in the midst of the relief effort for the worst natural disaster to hit this country in its entire history, he did find the time to go visit a Republican Senator's savaged home!! And we're not just talking about any old Senator, this is none other than Trent segregationist Lott, who lost his Majority Leader post for comments about how better off we would have been if Strom Thurmond had been elected President back in the day. All the while, black people die.

I mean, how stupid and out of touch can you be? First, you don't show any interest in helping the poor (mostly black) people most affected by this tragedy and you totally disregard them. Then, you show your mug with a racist white rich guy and pledge to have his mansion rebuilt better than it was before?! What about all those poor people's homes? They lost everything and CAN'T get it back. I'm sure Lott either had a second house to go to or could afford a four star hotel to pamper himself and his family. And I'm sure his insurance will repay him plenty to rebuilt his fracking house. And I'm sure he wasn't stranded on a roof without water and food for almost a week. God forbid, Bush would have recalled the troops from Iraq to save him if that had been the case.

This President is such a failure, you wonder how he can be so dumb and aloof... until you hear what his mother had to say.

Visiting a place in Houston, Texas, where some of the refugees had been relocated, she stated
"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."
I was aghast. I couldn't believe it. They played it again, 'cause I'm sure they knew people would have been shocked, and sure enough, yes, I had heard right. She actually said those words, and with a clear chuckle at the end, just to wrap them all up nicely, like a real lady would.

Well let me tell you, you dumb cow of a Patrician ass, those people were poor yes, but they ARE NOT better off now then before. How can anyone even think that?! Yeah, right, they are better off now because they lost the little they had (of course to Barbara rich-bitch Bush the little they had was less than nothing, but for them... it was the whole world) to a TERRIFYING AND DEADLY storm that probably almsot killed them too, just like all the thousands of others who didn't make it at all to see such generosity pouring down on them from the Bush family. Maybe they were the lucky ones.

I'm just at a loss for words. Except maybe to say this:

I HATE THE BUSH FAMILY!
