Default What do you think about this quote?

She is talking about all the people in the Astrodome.

""So many of the people in the arena here, you know, were underprivileged anyway, so this is working very well for them.""

I think she is trying to say that the hurricane damaging peoples homes and making them cram into the Astrodome is actually working out better for them.

She is saying that sleeping on astroturf with thousands and thousands of strangers is better than the hovels they came from...

This is so incredibly ignorant that it almost has to be made up.

Taken in the whole, I don't think it's bad:

[ QUOTE ]
Barbara Bush, who accompanied the former presidents on a tour of the Astrodome complex Monday, said the relocation to Houston is "working very well" for some of the poor people forced out of New Orleans.

"What I'm hearing, which is sort of scary, is they all want to stay in Texas. Everyone is so overwhelmed by the hospitality," she said during a radio interview with the American Public Media program "Marketplace." "And so many of the people in the arena here, you know, were underprivileged anyway, so this is working very well for them."

Forgive them for they know not what they do. The leaders of our countries and their families are so far divorced from reality that they have no clue how to act in this kind of situation.
