3. Why would CNN be doing a story on Barbara Bush now.....

what does she have to do with what is happening now. This is just another PR stunt by the bush people because America supposedly loves old Babs. What a bunch of crap.

5. Oh, this story on her...

will not be a good one. It is about her callous remarks.

6. This is the story...

from Salon.com:

The former first lady toured the Astrodome Monday, and along the way she opined that many of the refugees from New Orleans were so poor to begin with that they ought to be pretty happy with their temporary digs in Houston. "What I’m hearing, which is sort of scary, is they all want to stay in Texas," Barbara Bush said in comments first aired on the public radio program "Marketplace" and reprinted by Editor & Publisher. "Everyone is so overwhelmed by the hospitality. And so many of the people in the arena here, you know, were underprivileged anyway, so this is working very well for them."

In the midst of that last line, you can hear the former first lady chuckling.
