Wednesday Rant

From E!:

Laura Bush making a special guest appearance on an episode of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, filmed Tuesday in flood-ravaged Biloxi, Mississippi, that will air in November, according to the Los Angeles Times.

George and Laura Bush really have no shame. While George continues to screw over the poor and vulnerable in the gulf coast region by signing over billions of dollars of relief funds to his big business cronies and issuing executive orders that exempt said cronies from paying even minimum wage or adhering to federal guidelines for hiring practices, Laura is prancing around a feel-good television show that is building a house using private funds.

What really burns me is that the Bushies know that a large portion of Americans will (wrongly) think that the house is being rebuilt by federal funds under the supervision of the Bush administration. But the Bushies have never been big on the truth.

Conservative? Yes. Compassionate? My ass.

How much you want to bet that the family getting the new house is black?
