Barbara Bush or Marie Antoinette?
With a sickening callousness equal to that of the former French queen’s, note the mother of the president’s response to visiting the Astrodome excerpted from “Barbara Bush: Relocation is “‘Working Very Well For Them,’” DemocracyNow.org, 9/6/05 and “Barbara Bush Makes Hurricane Gaff“, TVNew Zealand, TVNZ.CO.NZ, 9/7/05
While the federal government has been widely criticized for its slow response, former First Lady Barbara Bush told the radio show Marketplace that the relocation is “working very well” for some of those forced out of New Orleans since they were “underprivileged anyway.”
“Almost everyone I’ve talked to says ‘we’re going to move to Houston,’” Bush said. “What I’m hearing, which is sort of scary, is they all want to stay in Texas. Everyone is so overwhelmed by the hospitality,” she said.
