Are You Angry Yet? Part 2

It seems to be a banner week for people saying really stupid things, and this time coming from somebody who, to the best of my memory, has never been known to say genuinely stupid things: Barbara Bush.
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 wants to move to Houston."

Then she added: "What I’m hearing is they all want to stay in Texas. Everyone is so overwhelmed with the hospitality.

"And so many of the people in the arena here, you know, were underprivileged anyway so this (she chuckled)--this is working very well for them."

Update

Andrew Sullivan called it a "Marie Antoinette Moment". Oh so true.
