Laura Bush speaks out.

Ok, I'm not much of a partisan mudslinger, but I thought it was a little suspicious that someone that no one can really go after goes after the critics of the Administrations response to the Hurricane. Then again maybe she's just defending her husband. I hope it's not the first.

She said people and their remarks about this are "disgusting." Quite frankly, I don't really care but Pickles Bush has to say. Like Judge Judy says, you picked him, honey.

I have this picture of her in my head, martini glass in hand, dragging on a cigarette while slurring "Hurricane Corina" over and over again.

Wife Says Criticism of Bush 'Disgusting'



WASHINGTON (AP) - Laura Bush described as ``disgusting'' comments by rapper Kanye West and Democratic chairman Howard Dean blaming her husband for the disproportionate number of black hurricane victims.

``I think all of those remarks are disgusting, to be perfectly frank, because of course President Bush cares about everyone in our country,'' the first lady said Thursday in an interview with American Urban Radio Networks.

``And I know that. I mean, I'm the person who lives with him,'' she said. ``I know what he's like and I know what he thinks and I know how he cares about people.''

The president has faced sharp criticism over federal relief efforts for Hurricane Katrina victims, who are disproportionally black and poor.


On a nationally televised telethon Friday, broadcast live on NBC, West departed from the script to declare ``George Bush doesn't care about black people.''


Earlier this week, Dean, chairman of the Democratic National Committee, told the National Baptist Convention of America, a black religious group, that race played a role in the hurricane casualty numbers.


Mrs. Bush said it was clear that poor people were more vulnerable when the hurricane hit.


``They lived in poorer neighborhoods. Their neighborhoods were the ones that were more likely to flood, as we saw in New Orleans. Their housing was more vulnerable,'' she said.


``And that's what we saw, and that's what we want to address in our country.''

Perhaps Mrs. Bushie should put her money where her mouth is. She just doesn't get it.

There was a member of congress who said "well we couldn't clean up the public housing in N.O. but God did it for us." I swear I read this today. They are so out of it, and that is what's disgusting.

Yeah the Senate has become quite stagnant. The House isn't doing much better these days. Of course, there are notable exceptions in both cases.
