It's called satire, junior (4.00 / 1) (#9)

You can't be so young that you've already forgotten the Babs Bush gem of a Hurrican Katrina quote, the one which

Commenting on the facilities that have been set up for the evacuees -- cots crammed side-by-side in a huge stadium where the lights never go out and the sound of sobbing children never completely ceases -- former First Lady Barbara Bush concluded that the poor people of New Orleans had lucked out.

"Everyone is so overwhelmed by the hospitality. And so many of the people in the arena here, you know, were underprivileged anyway, so this, this is working very well for them," Mrs. Bush told American Public Media's "Marketplace" program, before returning to her multi-million dollar Houston home.

the end of that first paragraph should've read, "the one which Che is so obviously parodying".

That is pure BS. All she was doing was trying to say that the hospitality extended by Houston was appreciated and was working well for them.

So how was Houston's charity rewarded?

Since Sept. 1, when an estimated 150,000 to 200,000 Louisianans resettled in Houston after Hurricane Katrina, evacuees are believed to have been involved in 26 slayings, or nearly 17 percent of all homicides. The cases, according to Houston police, involved 34 evacuees -- 19 of them victims and 15 of them suspects.

BTW - I got a real chuckle when one of the networks interviewed a guy on TV who was complaining that his government given debit card only had $1500. on it.

Yes, Che's comment, as well as Dadler's was off topic.

Your buds provoke and then you complain.
