Has anything factual come to light regarding the two Biloxii sisters?




(Asking now so I won't have to sort thru all the threads that have been posted since I went to bed)



The (alleged) two survivors who were consoled by the Chimp-in-Chief? Their authenticity seemed to be an issue the last time i checked.

1. I would really like to know


How come they were the only ones that came running to the Chimp?

And running on cue.

I saw a thread that sai that Aaron Brown reported that they were not from the area.

2. I don't doubt their authenticity. I bet they were being exploited
Edited on Sat Sep-03-05 10:52 AM by izzybeans
for thier loss and their skin tone. "Oh, look they've got dark skin AND their crying. I smell picture op. Gotta get me some picture op. Now girls smile for the camera...no continue crying. That's it. Prepare for the face of grief...their it is. Now you two run along now. Andrew...Karl...how'd I look?"


Like a fucking bastard.

edited to add: are we sure that they didn't just hire Will Ferrel to pose for this.

4. I was listening to the girls talk--I thought they had odd accents
that reminded me of Aussies or some kind of English/islander. Someone on the other thread claimed Latino but maybe non-Hispanic location. Just guessing.

11. Given their French family name and their looks, that would be my guess
Edited on Sat Sep-03-05 02:05 PM by Mairead
Upper-caste 'European' Haitians, from the same group that ruled Haiti under the Duvaliers and Cedras.

14. I suppose it's possible they could be from DR, but I think most
DR surnames reflect the dominant Spanish-language culture. Which isn't to say that their family couldn't have immigrated across the border, of course.

5. I'm not sure these are "facts", but some research indicates...
Edited on Sat Sep-03-05 11:15 AM by speedoo
That..


1. They are from Gautier, MS, not Biloxi. Gautier is about 20 miles due east of Biloxi.

2. The older sister, Bronwynne, was a student at a Community College in Gainesville, FL in 2001. She graduated from the Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College this past May. It is possible, if not likely, that she was an international student studying here courtesy of the US Govt.

If you are interested in learning more, start by reading the transcript of Aaron Brown's interview with them here:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x4600320#4600426

There is more info. in the thread.

Any additional research help would be helpful. I'm convinced there is a fairly significant story here that could lend some factual basis to the fairly obvious fact this was a totally staged photo op.

24. The only Bassier I could find on AnyWho for the entire state of....
...Mississippi is located in Gautier, MS about 12 miles east of Biloxi, and he wasn't Kim or Bronwynne. He could be related, but why would the two girls be in Biloxi for Herr Busch's arrival?

I searched Yahoo People Search for Bassier, and Bronwynne's name popped up in Gautier, MS....and in the same area as the guy I found above. Switchboard also lists the guy noted above, but no other Bassier.

AnyWho does not have a listing for Kim Bassier in any state, and neither does Yahoo People Search and Switchboard. But, Yahoo People Search does claim to have an unlisted number for a Kim Bassier.

Still, if the two girls lived in Gautier, why would they travel 12 miles west to get to Biloxi?

Curious.

21. at the risk of threadjacking..
Who is the blond guy in the sunglasses? He was eager to shake W's hand and congratulate him (for what I'm not certain, but he was eager to glad hand W.) So who is HE?
