Self-centered robo-bitch

Barbara Bush has a well-deserved reputation for being a spiteful megabitch. From her comments (paraphrasing here) that she doesn’t worry her “beautiful mind” (her words, really) about the Iraq war casualties to the revolting statement that the post-Katrina Astrodome live-in for the New Orleans refugees was “working out for them” because, you know, they were poor, she has set the gold standard of out of touch cruelty. But Laura has learned well from the Queen bee as was evidenced this week when the First Lady made the following statement regard the war on the Today show:

"No one suffers more than their president and I do."

Really Laura? You suffer more than the recently widowed mother of three who lost her husband in Ramadhi? Or the nineteen year old kid that left his legs in some shithole alley in Baghdad? How about parents that will never see their soldier child again? And what of the Iraqs themselves? If so, you sure hide that suffering well. I guess it helps when after your interview; you can head home to the White House and your healthy, intact family.

If you want to watch, HuffPo has the video. I recommend a stiff drink afterward. It will help wash down the outrage.
