I always like to pull this shit off the Whitehouse's own website whenever I can, so it's straight from the Ass's mouth, as it were. This is from their own press release, and they were honest enough not to change the Presidents use of the word 'Rubbles', which is guess would be what you'd see at Barney's family reunion since the plural of rubble is rubble. But that's just LOL W IS STUPID, and not really my point. Here's the quote.
" The good news is -- and it's hard for some to see it now -- that out of this chaos is going to come a fantastic Gulf Coast, like it was before. Out of the rubbles of Trent Lott's house -- he's lost his entire house -- there's going to be a fantastic house. And I'm looking forward to sitting on the porch. (Laughter.)
See, this is not stupidity. This is a complete inability to understand anyone or anything not outside his domain.
Trent Lott, like W is wealthy and connected. He will have no problem rebuilding and he will have no problem getting any insurance and government help he needs rebuilding. The poor of New Orleans, who had very little to begin with, will have a great deal more trpuble getting that little back. They will struggle and suffer for years to come and some, many of them will never recover. Trent Lotts loss of one of his homes is in no way comparable to what hs happened to the Gulf coast as a whole. I understand the President means to be hopeful and folksy and humerous here, not cynical and cruel and racist. He truly means to comfort, and I honor his intentions. But he doesn't understand. He's incapable of it. And when a lot of people are recovering more slowly than Trent Lott, well, heck, progress is being made. Brownie, you're doin' a heckuva job. And when a lot of people still haven't recovered a few years down the road, that'll be on someone elses watch. W will be sippin' Lemonade on Trent's proch, remenissin' bout the time he up n' saved the Big Easy.
