[R-G] Barbara Bush: Destruction of NOLA "a good thing for refugees"

[David Mcreynolds]

A short story about a woman who is way out of touch. I just heard the
segment on TV, and
unhappily it is true. This is the Bush family. (Texas is a great state, I
don't doubt folks there
are being wonderful - but her comment on "this is working very well for
them" is unbelievable).
