[Mb-civic] [Mb-hair] A news story that disappeared

[Ian]

It didn't disappear - at least, not totally.  It is being reported regularly on alternative news sources, and even the Times printed a letter today from someone pointing it out.

Although it may not "have legs" as a story, I hope it doesn't disappear; it is just so indicative of the Bushes.

Peace.

  The Modern "Let Them Eat Cake" Moment
  When I saw this quote on Atrios's site, I thought it was a parody.

  But Editor and Publisher, to whom he cites, is reporting it as straight news:

  Barbara Bush: Things Working Out "Very Well" for Poor Evacuees from New Orleans NEW YORK Accompanying her husband, former President George H.W.Bush, on a tour of hurricane relief centers in Houston, Barbara Bush said today, referring to the poor who had lost everything back home and evacuated, "This is working very well for them." 

  The former First Lady's remarks were aired this evening on National Public Radio's "Marketplace" program.

  Then she added: "What I'm hearing 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--this [she chuckles slightly]is working very well for them."

  And here's a link to the audio of the NPR Marketplace segment containing this incredible quote. It's real. Although some people might I suppose call it a nervous giggle rather than a chuckle.
