Laura Bush chastises Myanmar for not responding to natural disaster fast enough???

[Generic Other]

From AOL photo caption:

<snip>In a rare White House press conference, first lady Laura Bush urged Myanmar's military-ruled government to accept aid from the U.S., and chastised the regime for not informing its people of the impending disaster. "The response to the cyclone is the most recent failure of the regime to meet its people's basic needs," Bush said Monday.<snip>

The hypocrisy is astounding. This coming from the cheerleader for the let NOLA drown crowd. How clueless is this dame anyway?

1. Ironic, isn't it ?

K & R

[spanone]

2. words fail me....did they have to show 'stupid' s dvd and explain where myanmar is?

[MindPilot]

3. She oughta know better than anybody. n/t

[havocmom]

4. Just more neocon camouflage: Accuse others of why you have done or will do

Then Laugh when someone tries to hold your gang accountable; say, 'oh, no, you're confused, that was so&so who did that! Not us!'

[uppityperson]

5. k&r for turning down foreign aid and private help post Katrina

[eShirl]

6. that's ok, it's probably "working out very well for them"

:sarcasm:

[central scrutinizer]

7. they are simply following the Katrina model

I wonder who their director of FEMA is. I am sure he is doing a heckuva job.

8. What an unbelievably stupid woman.

11. no, she had to do it.

imagine if GEORGEE tried to scold burma? you'd HOPE the gnews would have to comment about NOLA. yeah right. more shoving it under the rug.

[The Doctor.]

12. Nothing they could say would be right.

They should have just said "What a terrible tragedy." and STFU after that.

9. Yeah, your hubby was really good with New Orleans, wasn't he?

The utter supidity and lack of knowledge by this family makes me sick. I hope they go to live in Portugal or whatever South American country it is they built in and never come back.

10. Someone needs to update her software.

She's lost some data in her memory banks, apparently.

13. LOL

Does anyone remember when Musharraf was suspending the constitution so Perino went out and said 'there is no excuse for circumventing a constitution to fight terrorism' and Bush said Musharraf should step down as leader of the military because 'it is wrong to be both head of the military and head of state'.

LOL. These people are so goddamn stupid. But we go along with it for some reason. Helen Thomas and her 'wtf is wrong with everyone' positioning when Perino kept saying 'we don't torture' when Bush admitted to torturing is just fucked up.

Ah well. These peopel should be in prison, but you can't help but laugh at some of it. Its like that guy who tried breaking into a liquor store and kept falling through the roof. Its funny at how incompetent he was, but still criminal.

14. I only wish Burma would say did your govermment respond to Katrina.

[dembotoz]

15. this should win a DU'zy in its original state

sure this isn't out of the Onion?

[Marrah_G]

16. We all know she is a sedated idiot who just repeats what they tell her to. n/t

[cascadiance]

17. I'm still waiting "and perhaps hoping" that one of these Bush's will call Myanmar "Miramar"...

and piss off a lot of locals here near the Air Force base so that they might be more inclined to vote against the Rethugs this coming month!

Wouldn't put it past ole Bushie to make that confusion though! Maybe Laura too, if she's being "programmed" to be more "like him"...



That being said, my heart goes out to those living in that country who've had it bad enough as it is living with that oppressive government before this happened. My parents one time lived there many years in the past before I came to this earth too back in the days it was known as Burma. I know they'd like it to change for the better now too.

[barbtries]

18. total hypocrisy

to the extent that it is comical. i wanna watch jon stewart tonight.

[Chalco]

19. Think New Orleans, Laura. Think New Orleans.

There's nothing like projection. Project your faults unto others and then you can sleep through the nite, Laura. Another way to achieve calm might be to tell the truth and accept the consequences. But, that method is foreign to psychopaths.
