But she did: “And so many of the people in the arena here, you know, were underprivileged anyway, so this (she chuckles slightly)–this is working very well for them.”

— Former First Lady and supreme B*tch, Barbara Bush, on the conditions the evacuees are living under in Houston

Does this woman have a heart or a brain? She is an old dirtbag of a human being, and you can see how the Chimp got it honestly. From Editor and Publisher:

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.

She was part of a group in Houston today at the Astrodome that included her husband and former President Bill Clinton, who were chosen by her son, the current president, to head fundraising efforts for the recovery. Sen. Hilary Clinton and Sen. Barack Obama were also present.

Freeperland thinks it’s either a left conspiracy of misquoting, or beloved Barbara is just speaking the truth…

Actual Freeper Quotesâ„?

“I have a feeling the left is going to distort this beyond belief.”

“Not the smartest thing to say…”

“uh-oh”

“What did she say that was bad?”

“The truth of the matter is that they WILL be better off away from the city and the gangs.”

“She is bullet proof. She can say anything and get away with it. Besides, what she said was OK. At least she didn’t mention the looters, shooters, and brain-dead mayor.”

“Oh my God… .. what’s next? She is a wonderful woman…just a very stupid statement….”

“Why is it that whenever anyone on the right has the nerve to speak the unblunted truth, the left turns it into a weapon? The truth might hurt, but it’s more helpful than a comforting lie.”

“I agree, but by the time the left is through with tearing this apart it will sound like the Diaspora.”

“They probably will distort it, but many of the evacuated folks have said as much themselves – they’re glad to get away from their old lives, want to start over, and they’re confident the future is going to be better for them.”

“The truth is never stupid.”

“It was the chuckle that got her. Or they inserted it.”

“There is NOTHING wrong with what she said. Only the left & their teensy, twisted minds could find something wrong with the statement. Leave Barbara alone…or I may have to punch you. 😉 (Don’t blame me, I got the idea from Ms. Landrieu)”

“The Democrats in Louisiana want them back on the Plantation.”

“The former First Lady is beloved by most Americans. The left will be making a mistake if they attack her over this.”

“After blathering for days about how the whole problem of the hurricane was cause because there were too many “underprivileged” in New Orleans, what do they want? Unless you are spewing the PC “sensitivity” line, these idiots will always be all over you. What ever happened to Olbermans’ “Ohio Vote Fraud” ravings? Has he “gotten to the bottom” of that, yet?”

“The left may distort it… but all the new Louisiana Gumbo restaurants that are going to open in Texas over the next six months won’t lie.”

“They will have culture shock. Being treated with respect and not as a voting bloc. Yeah, kinda like moving from a Saddam controlled Iraq to a post-Saddam Iraq. ;)”

“One lady interviewed at the convention center in Austin says “This is one of the cleanest, nicest cities I’ve ever seen, I’m staying here”. Welcome.”

“These people are saying the same thing in every city they’ve come to. They are treated with respect, they are offered jobs, people are taking them into their homes. They were raised being told that the white people hate them, but now they clearly see it’s not the truth. White arms wrapped around them and plucked them off rooftops, white people got on the buses in Houston, Dallas, Lubbock, Phoenix, Utah, Colorado, etc. smiled and said “Welcome to ……””

“Room is being made in schools for their children, medical care is being given to people who obviously haven’t received medical care in a very long time, and they’re smart enough to know that their own city officials and state officials didn’t even bother to help to get them out of the city.”

“Houston is not pleased.”

“The left is concerned that they will get jobs, buy homes, start to understand the true purpose of welfare and start voting Republican.”

“Barbara Bush is America’s Grandma. The MSM can spin this any way they want. Americans love Barbara Bush!”

“Please quit worrying about this stuff. The truth will set them free. My NOLA neighbors are disgusted with the media turning this into a racial issue. It is a human issue!”

“Mark my words, Houston will become the next Detroit. The millions of refugees which fleed the south in the 20’s from the Mississippi flood and went to Detroit and Chicago completely destroyed 2 of the best cities in the world at the time. Detroit is so bad now, people are digging up their dead relatives that are there. 50 years from now, people will be doing the same thing in Houston.”
