QuakerBabs Bush made a "personal observation," that's all.

[Sparkly]

Mrs. Bush, after touring the Astrodome complex in Houston on Monday, 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. And so many of the people in the arena here, you know, were underprivileged anyway, so this is working very well for them." She commented during a radio interview with the American Public Media program "Marketplace."

McClellan, at the White House briefing, said: "I think she was making a personal observation on some of the comments that people were making that she was running into. ... But what we're focused on is helping these people who are in need."

Asked if Bush agreed with his mother, McClellan said: "I think that the observation is based on someone or some people that were talking to her that were in need of a lot of assistance, people that have gone through a lot of trauma and been through a very difficult and trying time. And all of a sudden, they are now getting great help in the state of Texas from some of the shelters."

When did she "personally observe" how they'd been living before Katrina hit, and how close did she get to "personally observe" what they've gone through since?

8. This is a stylish, elegant older gentleman.

Barbara Bush is hateful, mean, vindictive. Somebody posted a photo of Babs as a babboon with lipstick and a necklace.

That's more like it.

11. Right! The Quaker Oats guy looks kind and benevolent

So stop comparing the Bride of Satan, from whose loins oozed the Spawn of Satan, to him!!

Queen of the Borg or Mistress of Minions. Both from my wife

3. So, now it's the fault of the "comments" made by the victims?

I think Scotty just pulled that one out of his ass.

4. Yeah. I guess they said this was all working out well for them.

They couldn't believe their good fortune. :sarcasm:

5. Ohhhh, it was a personal observation, well then never mind

[lateo]

6. That makes it all that much worse...

It being "personal" means that it is something that shows how "she" feels or sees.

7. I know she looks like the Quaker Oats guy

(well, he's probably a bit better looking) - but let us not slur the Society of Friends this way. They're compassionate, caring people.

Babs is pure evil.

10. Yeah,all those blacks want to stay in Texas,thats SCARY to that old hag...

Talk about "there goes the neighborhood"!! How dare FEMA bus in a load of "colored people" to Babs State without consulting her first. Now they might want to STAY?!?!?

I wish an early,early hideous cancer ridden death to you Barbara. Both you and your "beautiful mind" need to go far far away.
