“Leadership: ‘Out of the rubbles of Trent Lott’s house — he’s lost his entire house — there’s going to be a fantastic house. And I’m looking forward to sitting on the porch.’ – George W. Bush [posted at the White House site!], 5 days into this.”
— From Salon‘s Peter Daou (Daou Report)
Equally astonishing (CNN video + Crooks & Liars video):
Bush to women: “There’s a Salvation Army center that I want to, that I’ll tell you where it is, and they’ll get you some help. I’m sorry…. They’ll help you…..
Woman 1: “I came here looking for clothes…”
Bush: “They’ll get you some clothes, at the Salvation Army center…”
Woman 1: “We don’t have anything…”
Bush: “I understand…. Do you know where the center is, that I’m talking to you about?”
Guy with shades: “There’s no center there, sir, it’s a truck.” …
CONTINUED BELOW:
Bush: “There’s trucks?”
Guy: “There’s a school, a school about two miles away…..”
Bush: “But isn’t there a Salvation center down there?”
Guy: “No that’s wiped out….”
Bush: “A temporary center? “
Guy: “No sir they’ve got a truck there, for food.”
Bush: “That’s what I’m saying, for food and water.”
Bush turns to the sister who’s been saying how she needs clothes.
Bush to sister: “You need food and water.”
Thanks to Brinnaine for spotting this. Unbelievable.
