I'll bet W. will be asking mom to cut back on public appearances for awhile:




Barbara Bush: Things Working Out 'Very Well' for Poor Evacuees from New Orleans

By E&P Staff

Published: September 05, 2005 7:25 PM ET updated 8:00 PM

NEW YORK Accompanying her husband, former President George
H.W.Bush, on a tour of hurricane relief centers in
Houston, Barbara Bush said today, referring to the
poor who had lost everything back home and evacuated, "This is working very well for them."

The former First Lady's remarks were aired this
evening on American Public Media's "Marketplace"
program.

She was part of a group in Houston today at the
Astrodome that included her husband and former
President Bill Clinton, who were chosen by her son,
the current president, to head fundraising efforts for
the recovery. Sen. Hilary Clinton and Sen. Barack
Obama were also present.

In a segment at the top of the show on the surge of
evacuees to the Texas city, Barbara Bush said: "Almost
everyone I’ve talked to says we're going to move to
Houston."

Then she added: "What I’m hearing which is sort of
scary is they all want to stay in Texas. 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 (she
chuckles slightly) is working very well for them."

Nancy Reagan and the Queen Mother said things like this a lot.

The rich, out-of-touch upper class broads trying to be matronly and sympathetic when they've never had to walk in any of the shoes of the people they're psychologically patting on the head.

Babs has shown herself to be a fairly compassionate person over the years, considering what she's been surrounded with. Maybe she's just getting addled.

And she's the Ambassador at Large for AMERICARES.

This type of comment doesn't surprise me at all. I live in a town filled with out of touch people.

Someone needs to photoshop this and make a mostly blue one, and name it "Abby Normal". Or something.

Maybe she's starting to take after her eldest son, after he took after her for so many years.

Babs Bush love that blueflake!

The Queen Mother is apparently really nice. My grandfather was her pilot for awhile in the 50s.

Yeah, I meant that they used to say unfortunate class-based things while trying to be nice. Though Reagan had moments of coldness that the Queen Mother never exhibited in public. The QM never seemed to make the hideous gaffes that Prince Phillip is known for though. Of course it's not like I've read every public statement or anything.
