I want to vomit

Listening to the Bushes right now is close to making me physically sick. Here is what former First Lady Barbara Bush had to say on the surge of evacuees to the Texas city:
"Almost everyone I’ve talked to wants to move to Houston."

Then she added: "What I’m hearing is they all want to stay in Texas. Everyone is so overwhelmed with the hospitality.

"And so many of the people in the arena here, you know, were underprivileged anyway so this (she chuckled)--this is working very well for them."
When coupled with GW Bush's comments on Trent Lott's fantastic new house to be built, it is enought to make a decent person sick inside. That this family has been the leadership of our country for so long is frankly traumatic to me.

It does not matter whether Bush is to blame for the total lack of action on the part of the federal government, the fact remains that he has shown the worst kind of leadership imaginable in the wake of these events. Words escape me.
