Foot in Mouth Syndrome

Every time I turn around I am outraged and deeply saddened by another aspect of the Katrina tragedy. And here is another Bushism to add to the mix... but this time it's not "Dubya." The former President and Barbara Bush visited the Astrodome in Houston and here is an excerpt from the coverage:

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. Mrs. Bush told American Public Media's Marketplace program, "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."

WTF ?!?
