Her beautiful mind

Well, Barbara Bush has uttered another "Let them eat cake" pronouncement that shows her utter disregard for ordinary people who are not part of her social set. In case you missed her "beautiful mind" comment two years ago, here it is:

"Why should we hear about body bags, and deaths, and how many, what day it's gonna happen, and how many this or what do you suppose? Oh, I mean, it's not relevant. So why should I waste my beautiful mind on something like that?"

~Barbara Bush on ABC/Good Morning America, March 18, 2003

Well now she's saying that the poor are better off because of Katrina. Here's the quote:

First Mom Barbara Bush yesterday walked past rows of poor and ailing refugees at the Houston Astrodome, then said, "So many of the people here . . . were underprivileged anyway, so this is working very well for them.

They were underprivileged anyway so who cares that they're stuck in a sports arena and have no place they can call home. Sheesh.

The article is entitled, "The beautiful mind of Barbara Bush: Houston shelter is 'working very well' for poor" and it's by Kate Sheehy.
