There's a short clip here. It's just the "working out quite well for them" portion.

Also there is a link to it in here:

Beautiful - thanks dc and cc! Hopefully now she'll shut up.

OMG I can't believe she said that!

I was listening to NPR this morning and I heard Laura Bush talking about Katrina and she said something along the lines of...Across the board I think things are going well. I believe we're just seeing a lot of the same clips which are not really representative of what's truly going on (this is paraphrasing what she said, it's not a direct quote). I was shocked Laura's remark but it's nothing compared to the choice words of her MIL.

I really thought that I had responded to this post, but I was rereading and apparently I didn't. Probably b/c immediate reaction to this little speech of Mrs. Bush's was my jaw dropping to the floor. I'm just appalled that someone, anyone, let alone a former First Lady would have the audacity to even think such a thing. And the fact that she actually said is absolutely mindboggling.

I'm actually really surprised that there hasn't been a bigger stink about it! Maybe I've missed it, but I only heard about it here, and saw ONE op/ed page in the tribune that referred to it, but I haven't seen any references to it anywhere else. It cracked me up, the Tribune columnist wrote, "and here comes the fastball right over the middle of the Democratic plate..." and then quoted her line about things working out quite well. I mean, there's JUST nothing you can say in response to that. The woman has to be clinically insane, there is no other explanation.
