Barbara Bush's statement much worse than what E&P quoted

http://atrios.blogspot.com/2005_09_04_atrios_archive.html#112597122217543452


E&P actually softened the quote. The full quote is:


What I'm hearing which is sort of scary is that they all want to stay in Texas. Everybody is so overhwlemed by the hospitality. And so many of the people in the arena here, you know, were underprivileged anyway so this (chuckle)--this is working very well for them.

Not the least because of some of the people they produce who say things like this.

:scared: :scared: :scared: :scared: :scared: :scared: :scared: :scared:

lol

Nothing or nobody scares me though.

have the sense not to SAY things like this publicly, even if they THINK things like this.

Their insensitiviy boggles the mind.

waste her "beautiful mind" over saying things like that publicly, and neither do the rest of that sociopathic, inhumane family, because they know the media won't report it much, if at all, and they know they can count on getting away with it due to the media's enabling.

how DARE you!!!!!!???? me over here in the Carolinas).
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo... we will NOT claim this Nazi family!

But Texans like Barbara Bush are in the clear majority. They run Texas.

I can tell you, there are hundreds helping the people at the Astrodome. What you are seeing is the country rotting at the head. The people at the bottom - our troops, our citizens, the people cleaning up the administration's mess - are where the hope for saving this country lies.

It's not geography. It's the aristocracy.

The people in Texas have been quite welcoming and generous as have people from all over the South and the world as a whole. There are the people who can become our future political allies...and they might just do it if we stop throwing slurs at them.

tell the mayor of Tulsa, OK, where to get off for holding a press conference to "reassure" his "people" that Tulsa had no plans to honor any requests from the Red Cross or FEMA to handle any refugees (translation-we don't want any of "those" people here), and that they wouldn't make any of their "facilities vital to the economy of this city" available to the refugees, where to get off? And his "people" who overwhelmingly supported him and ignored fellow Americans in need so they don't have to be bothered by "those people?"

concern is the possibility of alienating a lot of ordinary folks who are reaching out to the destitute survivors. They are seeing first hand what has happened and starting to question everything. This just does not seem the time to bash southerners in general, or Texans or anybody but the Bushco cabal and his puppet masters. They have played the non wealthy off against each other with wedge issue for years. I think we can stop some of the diviciveness and start the reunification of the oppressed.

I am a native Pennsylvanian living in Georgia for almost eight years now. There are a lot of things that "southerners" do that still drive me nuts, but other than voting for *, most of it is second-rate stand-up comedy stuff -- like "southerners don't use turn signals."
Fact is, they don't, but there are still many good people down here, even among the magnetic-ribbons-all-over-the-back-of-my-car, bush/cheney-2004 crowd. I am the lone leftie at work, and my coworkers are as heartbroken as any of us at what has happened in the last 10 days. THEY ARE ALSO STARTING TO OPENLY ADMIT THEIR DISSATISFACTION WITH BUSHCO AS A RESULT. I swear...heard it first hand. I make jokes myself sometimes, but most southerners are not closet klansman and they don't want to return to separate drinking fountains or anything like that. There is no reason to alienate them just as they're clearing their heads of 5 years of */Rove propaganda. Think how tough it must be for them, after convincing themselves that * was the Vicar of Christ, to come to the realization that he's a boob. Many southerns feel left behind by Dems, and as a result embraced rethuglicans who don't actually give a damn about them. But they're waking up to this now and we should welcome them, welcome them back, whatever. That's my 2¢ for this morning...gotta go to work.

is a mixed bag like anywhere else. BUT, now is no time for the stereotypes. Why alieanate other non-rich people. We are in the same boat.

make them republicans, but DeLay will make sure their votes are never counted.

So they killed to Democratic birds with one Hurricane!!

prejudice scares me.

See? That was easy enough. :eyes:

Barb isn't from Texas, but I doubt you care. It's more about the dramatic statement, isn't it? Give me a break.

I gotta get out of here or my head is going to explode and I can't afford to lose anymore sleep over this.

I'll probably be kicked off my neighbhorhood board b/c I called someone a loser after he kept pointing out that people were warned 2 days before the storm to leave.

But I'll tell you what- if these assholes can say this sort of shit, I'm not going to candy coat anything I have to say. I am sick and damned tired of acting like all opinions are reasonable and valid because, God damn it, they are NOT. Not when it boils down treating other human beings like so much waste that takes too much time to be bothered with.

And another damn thing. I'm going back to CHURCH!!! You bet your sweet ass I am. I'm tired of letting these people define what is moral and Christian, when nothing they do is either.

I became a minister for the very same reason--I refuse to let others define my country's morality by their own pseudo, spiritually-devoid puritanism. Right on!

I need all the encouragement I can get right now. The callous reactions of so many people - whether near or far - are truly disheartening.

I've stayed away from church, but not faith, for years because of the right wing takeover.

Started back with an Unitarian Universalist congregation -but it's not in my community and I miss the involvement near my home. It was an important part of my youth, and I want it again.

I'm looking now for a spiritual home in my little town, and pray for the strength to voice my views among the predominantly RED congregations.

Let's get back out there before it's too late!

Nana Bush is demonic.

When is she scheduled to have her tact implantation surgery?

18 years of life to take...

It's way too late for the Empress.

"I dont see those on the roofs complaining" GHWB (Refering to lack of aid) just said on Larry KIng

and don't forget this bit of news

Former President Bill Clinton discussed his relationship with President Bush's father last night on CBS LATE SHOW.

Clinton: "I think we're good friends. I like him very much. I've always liked him. When he was vice president, I was still a governor. We worked together on a number of things. He hosted the governors, in 1983...at Kennebunkport."

When they made an announcement about raising funds for Tsunami relief in Houston former First Lady Barbara Bush "announced us. And she said she has started to call me son. I told the Republicans there, I said don't worry, every family has one, you know, the black sheep. I told them, this just shows you the lengths the Bushes would go to get another president in the family. I wish I could get them to adopt Hillary."

:puke:

May they drown in their lies, callousness, inhumanity and hypocrisy

May the water that consumes and drowns them
be as wide and deep as the
Mississippi. (the big muddy)

Clinton looks really pale -- stark white hair matches stark white face, a bit out of breath. Damn.

I'm quite taken aback at his somehow being gulled into thinking the Bush family could EVER be his friends -- Babs in particular calling him "son" means nothing, except maybe a lure to get in close for the kill. Bill, how could you even think it???

However I'm not going to waste my time and energy flaming Bill Clinton -- if he keeps looking that bad in public I don't think he's going to be with us for long. Damn.

Hekate

#Why won't the Chickenhawk cross the road?#
#Why won't the Chickenhawk be waitin' on the levee?#

Clinton is smarter than that. He is "playing the part" and being diplomatic and cordial. You know that thing called diplomacy and tact which Dubaya has a complete LACK THEREOF.

Clinton probably looks bad because the weight of these tragedies do weigh on his heart. It's obvious he is working WAY HARDER than DUBAYA and the man is retired.

Dubaya only started looking haggard during the re-election. He doesn't give a shit about the people of this country. 9/11 didn't weigh on his soul, neither did Cindy Sheehan (shit even Nixon went out and spoke to protesters). Bush only cares about HIMSELF. The only way we'll see him haggard and worn again is if the Democrats win in 2006 and get impeachment proceedings underway.

I certainly don't agree with everything that Clinton did. But when it comes to competency, Bill is 1000% more competent than Dubaya and his whole staff put together.

no dummy.He will work with them because he WILL UNITE not devide

"When he was vice president, I was still a governor. We worked together on a number of things."

Thanks for rubbing it in our faces, Bill. One of those things wouldn't happen to involve a certain airport in Arkansas?

I suspect that somewhere deep down in his subconscious, Poppy Bush is appalled at the mess his son Georgie is making of this country. It's one thing to have a kid who's always screwing up; it's something else when his screw-ups and hostility affect the whole world. How many parents can even recognize -- let alone admit -- that one of their children is a sociopath?

Maybe they "adopted" Bill Clinton as the son they wished they had. At least Poppy--it's hard to credit Barbara with any positive impulse.

Evil, evil, evil.

I have seen her in person when I worked early voting, babies cry when she walks into a room.

That is funny! probably true!? :bounce:

I forgot about the Babs/Quaker oat reference. Geez how could I forget.

I will admit that when I first joined DU, I was stunned by the hate directed at Babs. I honestly thought you all were being unreasonably judgmental of her. But not anymore. I have made a point to learn all I could about this woman and I am now convinced she is a racist snob with evil in her veins.

exhibit everytime you open your mouth.

Go Babs! Reveal yourself to us! Reveeeeaaaalllll!

More Babs, I say! It's can't do nothin' but help us.

IS in the quote at E&P - don't know if they just added it or what:

http://www.editorandpublisher.com/eandp/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1001054719

That's all I know. Either way is exquisitely horrid.

I swear it was there two minutes before I posted - I always check these things out. So, instead of correcting an inaccuracy, they've Edited & Published untruth. I liked these folks, too.

Emphasis mine.

That's what I saw before I posted. This is the link:

http://www.editorandpublisher.com/eandp/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1001054719

When I copy and paste into the browser address line, that is STILL what I see...

the page.

That's interesting -- I didn't do a screenshot or anything, but I saved a text version of the story.

I just went back and checked, and it does include the "scary" part now, checked old version and it didn't, but BOTH have an "updated" time of 8:00 p.m.

I imagine they got some emails about not at least ellipsing the quote since they had given a place where people could listen to the original, but I find it surprising they left the update time the same (should I?)

Really!

how dare that piece of excrement speak this way over the people who suffered in NO .

She was afraid they might tempt someone.

no big surprise. The interior & exterior are the same w/her. (sorry, I know that's a low blow)

Dallas and San Antonio are already on the verge of 'goin' blue'.

Perry's numbers are in the toilet. Maybe the Dems (with the help of NO survivors who decide to stay in Texas) will make a bit of a resurgence.

:scared:

and I don't think it will be just the survivors who move here tipping the scales.

Lots of misled middle class voters are disenchanted with the party of greed and corruption.

Our mayor, Bill White, is a Democrat. He's the real force behind organizing our shelters. Rick Perry, our governor, is a Bush appointee who couldn't pour piss out of a boot if the instructions were written on the heel. He's been absolutely useless - like his mentor.

For the simple reason that all the our boot camps are in Red States. The LAST thing the Busheviks would want is for the rare english speaking Iraqi milling around George's base.

No doubt the locals would crowd around such and individual and start talking about how great their leader has been to Iraq. And then doubtless the Iraqi would start telling them the REAL STORY. And he would tell them how much they don't like the Bush's and how their management of Iraq has been 500% incompetent when compared to Saddam Hussein.

They would likely probably tell them that the ONLY reason they joined the military is because there are no jobs.


Bringing the refugees of New Orleans to Texas will have the same effect. It's the shocking reality of Bush's ineptitude. No doubt Mormons and Baptists "ministering" to those "saved" by Bush will get an earfull, and no doubt this will have SOME effect upon younger minds.

FUCK YOU YOU FUCKING PIECE OF INHUMAN HEARTLESS SLIME.

She and her loathesome spawn feed off of society and contribute nothing valuable to human-kind in return.

And that's all I have to say about that hag. I don't have a response to her actual comments because they aren't worth even acknowledging. Nothing she says is worth acknowledging. In fact, I really would be quite content if I never had to see her name or hear anything she said again for the rest of my whole life. I don't want to waste my beautiful mind thinking about scum like her.

now you know

According to many a peon, (Including Writer Dave Barry) that's how she ends conversations with people she has just met, but no longer has time for.

BTW, If you want to hear the FULL quote They played the recording at the start of today's "Marketplace" radio show from PRI. Here the link:

Houston, we may have a problem

(Listen to this story at link above) NOTE:Turn off any Pop-up blocker for it to work correctly.

More than 15,000 evacuees are camped out at Houston's Astrodome, and thousands more are spread across the state. Marketplace's Bob Moon reports that many of those in Houston are asking, why mess with Texas?

on an airplane that ended the same way: "I'm through with you." Absolutely dismissive.

How these lowlife scum have managed to convince millions of Americans that their family is worthy of the White House remains a mystery. The chimp's mother is one nasty, mean, vindictive, elitist woman. Disgusting and vile. She can take her "beautiful mind" and shove it up her fat ass.

Hell, someone making a million or more would be underprivileged when you've got the kind of money and power that cabal does.

they had in the world but hot damn! they hit the lottery because hey, they get to be driven to Houston to sleep on the floor of the Astrodome! Man that hurricane was the best thing that ever happened to them, huh, Babs? They got a ride to Texas and a cot to sleep in. Hardly Gitmo, but I bet y'all can upgrade the menu and then it'll be a real holiday resort.

What's "sort of scary" is that they let you out in public, Babs.

You have her number! For years she has come off with these insults and has no idea what she is really saying. The media has let her get by with it. Remember when daddy was running his 2000 campaign and saw a scanner at a grocery store and was awed? They are so far removed from reality. And momma making stupid comments about people that disagree with "her boys." All it tells me is that she is truly stupid.

shows the unnatural, doubly monstrous results:



(found at allhatnocattle.net a few weeks ago)

GHW connections to - the reason why The DaVinci Code is coming out now after a first attempt Holy Blood, Holy Grail to link Junior as an offspring of Christ AND Satan. Read what the Knights Templar really believed.

GHW left off the Herbert to make Junior's name:

George - 6 letters
Walker - 6 letters
Busche - The original German spelling of Bush 6 - letters

Near the end of Revelations, last book in the Bible after all the descriptions of destruction of the Last Days the person responsible is revealed in a clue - the one known as the Beast and the anti-Christ

He who has wisdom know this that the number of the Beast is the same as a man that is, six, threescore and six - 666

Junior was brought up to be the anti-christ. On two other sites that did not mention the anti-christ connection that along with smacking junior at the dinner table and humiliating him in other ways, she called him The Chosen One.

Really read the history of this and think about it, Bush's speech writers quote the Bible but instead of ending as they should with the word God, bush will end the well-known Biblical quote with the word America and it is a short step to ending a Bible quote meant to show the authority of God with his own name. I think Common Dreams and other non-conspiracy sites have noted and written about this in his speeches which unless you are familiar with the Bible or can't stand to watch Junior, as I cannot, you would miss what he and his handlers esp. his satan worshipping father who is more the president than bush are doing to red staters who are fundamentalists.

Mind control, MK-Ultra programs brainwashing that goes beyond advertising.

People said the same about Ronald(6) Wilson(6) Reagan(6). Let's try to stay sane, shall we?

is now in jail for bank robbery or something like that. He is a memeber of one of those neo-Nazi "Christian" militias. I would look for reliable information and thoughtful analysis elsewhere ;-)

We have enough religious wackos on the other side of the aisle.

Now dismiss all this christian myth-making for what it is -- giving undue power to a bogeyman. When all the myths and propaganda are hosed away with cold water, what's left? An incompetent dictator; a tool and a mouthpiece; a criminal idiot prince.

They want everyone to think this is all about god and the devil. They want us to believe in the "final conflict". It was a load of crap 500 years ago and it still is.

Lock 'em in the tower. Throw away the key.

She needs to be dropped into the middle of one of the hardest hit parishes and left to see what it's like to sit on the roof of a house for a few days without water...

I think Texas is a wonderful place for all these displaced survivors. And, just think, it'll cut down on the Texans exploiting Mexicans, for a change.

is simply repulsive. What a snotty and bitchy comment to make about the victims.

Houston, especially.

And Mexicans come here for opportunities. Yes, some are exploited. But they would stop coming if exploitation was all they found.

It's actually sad that the mother of the President of the USA has so little compassion and empathy for other "folks". These displaced citizens have just been through a horrendous disaster; many have lost family members, have seen dead bodies and have lost everything they own, and this is the best she can do? She has foot-in-mouth disease as advanced as her son's.

She may have wealth, but she lacks class.

... only the little people die of floods. You know that is what she is thinking.

This family needs a set of muzzles and statements written for them to memorize.

Oh boy, this one comes off real racist.:grr:

Why they of all people are allowed to run our country is beyond me. Barbara is simply monstrous. What a dreadful woman.

"folks". Unbelievable.

I went into that site and read some of the comments. They were great. I'm so glad DU isn't the only place showing it's solidarity for our fellow citizens including our utter disgust with this bozo prez...AND HIS MOMMA! *Oink* :puke:

gets his prejudice for class-ism.

Did you all see the footage(photo op) of W consoling those two woman? One of them is crying saying they lost everything, they have no clothes. He says "It's ok we'll get you some from the salvation army"

Now, your the leader of the free world and you can't arrange to get these women a set of clothes?

their social rank, money, their homes, their reputations (such as they are)...

this on NPR, no less, and I couldn't believe what I was hearing--just like everything else this family says and does!

"beautiful mind" and think about body bags coming back from Iraq.

She also referred to Geraldine Ferraro, who had the nerve to run for VP with Walter Mondale against Bush one, as a name that "rhymes with rich."

Her ugly face only mirrors her ugly soul.

IIRC, Babzilla turns up a couple of times in HST's "Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail". Not a nice lady, there, neither.

I'm just reading a wierd religious pamphlet from the Philadelphia church (no I'm not gonna link).

Near as I can make out, Armstrong is trying to prove the United Nations is the Anti-Christ. I can make a much better case for Barbara Bush.

I seriously doubt they would claim her. None that I know, anyway.

I could read between-the-lines. BB is very transparent. I would expect nothing less than fear of poor black people invading her precious state. Remember the Alamo! (Weren't they fighting other people of color then too?)

the evacuees food and water so they will leave and go somewhere else.

they just had an audio clip of Barbara's "comment"on CNN!!the chuckle was very sinister...The media IS changing. Letterman last night was scathing about Bush...can't wait for the polls......BUSH IS AN ENEMY OF THE STATE

She is gross. (Jerry Springer, AAR, playing clip now.)

Because it could be interpreted on different levels. For a city to simply absorb that many people, most of them needing public assistance, creates some problems for government to respond effectively. Ok?

Everybody is so overwhelmed by the hospitality. And so many of the people in the arena here, you know, were underprivileged anyway so this (chuckle)--this is working very well for them.

This is the part that makes me want to puke. WTF? Was Bab's there to make sure there weren't any "good rich folks" who had to take shelter? I'm sure that would be terrible for them. But these poor black folks, well, they should be happier than a fly in shit.

umm..is she for real?

REFUGEES! They are citizens for crying out loud!

As if we needed more proof of the REAL * family. This is just completely disgusting and she should be made to do an appology ASAP. These comments are far worse than anything Dick Durbin said so where are our leaders demanding a retraction of her callous comments??

Too bad it took something so horrible.

We all feel like we've won the trifecta. We got rescued, religion, and the Great State of Texas.

hosed down with floodwater from New Orleans, but that would pollute that water, so maybe not.
