NPR Weekend Edition Sunday "Voices In The News" today

[stlsaxman]

had some good quotes- two of particular note:

Laura Bush (paraphrased) "The hospitality is amazing. A lot of these people came from poor backgrounds so they're doing quite well here" NOTE: can't find exact quote but will edit if they post it on NPR shortly.

And the "Go fuck yourself, Mr. Cheney. Go fuck yourself!" "You get a lot of that?" "First time I've heard it- must be a Friend of John Ke- oh never mind"...

I was stunned that they had quotes that were in any way detrimental to the currant regime!

You go, NPR! Give us more!

1. slight trivial correction

it was *'s mother Barbara who said that the people were doing quite well because most of them were underprivileged.

Laura just referred to hurricane Katrina as hurricane Corinna.

They're all totally clueless.

3. Thanks stella

they do the quotes w/o giving names in that section so I got a little cornfused...

mostly times i recognize the voices...

2. We'll know they have really gone off the reservation

if they have an interview with Dr. Ben Marble, the ER physician who uttered those words at Cheney.

4. Is Dr. Marble still in jail?

i heard he was arrested for that remark.

5. simply detained for twenty minutes...

not arrested, guess free speech is still allowed around the DICK.

7. Only handcuffed and detained for 20 minutes

which sounds like out and out intimidation to me. The MPs asked for his information, then finally uncuffed him, saying it was his first amendment right to say that to the vp.

6. They should have included

Aaron Broussard:"Yeah, mama, someone's coming for ya. They promised to send help on Tuesday. They promised to send help on Wednesday. They promised to send help on Thursday. They promised to send help on Friday. And on Friday night she drowned."

Everyone in American should hear that.
