Interesting Katrina comments

"You simply get chills every time you see these poor individuals, as Jack Cafferty just pointed out, so tragically, so many of these people, almost all of them that we see, are so poor and they are so black, and this is going to raise lots of questions for people who are watching this story unfold." -- CNN's Wolf Blitzer


"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." -- Barbara Bush, after touring the Astrodome complex in Houston


"You know, some people are stealing and they're making a big deal out of it. Oh, they're stealing 20 pair of jeans or they're stealing television sets. Who cares? They're not going to go too far with it. Maybe those people are so poor, some of the people who do that they're so poor they've never touched anything in their lives. Let them touch those things for once." -- Celine Dion

"I open the television, there's people still there waiting to be rescued and for me it's not acceptable." -- Celine Dion

Barbara Bush's comment is just unbelievable. My Lord.

The Wolf Blitzer thing was worded unfortunately...

Barbara is getting old. She's an old, white, southern woman. The kind that grew up not liking black folks, I suppose.

And Celine, well, hell, if it's making Celine cry - it must be bad. She is from Canada, after all.

"they're so black."
sorry, I can't top that.

When I opened my television, it told me that Celine was irrelevant.

But what does it know? It's probably Canadian, too.
