NEW YORK Accompanying her husband, former President George H.W.Bush, on a tour of hurricane relief centers in Houston, Barbara Bush said today, referring to the poor who had lost everything back home and evacuated, "This is working very well for them."

The former First Lady's remarks were aired this evening on American Public Media's "Marketplace" program.

She was part of a group in Houston today at the Astrodome that included her husband and former President Bill Clinton, who were chosen by her son, the current president, to head fundraising efforts for the recovery. Sen. Hilary Clinton and Sen. Barack
Obama were also present.

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."

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."

1. If the ordinary Joe Blow

says something like that in public it might elicit a punch in the nose. When the queen bee says it, the fawning media thinks it's just charming. Excuse me while I :puke:

2. Oh horrors! they want to stay in texas...

And for the hospitality. Not because it isn't covered with water or anything. Not because they can get food. Nah, they just like the texas charm.

It's nice that the bush family has her for a spokesperson. At least she honestly says how they feel. Kinda nice in a way. I say lets let babs blab as long as she wants.

3. she's happy they'll be able to supress wages now....
