I beg to differ, first of all I bet he employs shitloads of em working for minimum wage on his ranch in TX, and secondly, he's almost certainly knocking the bottom out of Condaleeeeeeeza !!!
 
 Mind you, Mike Myers face was priceless.

it was live tv at its best.

I can't believe I caught it happen live -- I just happened to check over to see who was on, and it was Mike and Kanye.  Very odd, the first bit by Kanye.  Mike seemed to be sympathetic to him, that he was upset and a bit incoherent.  Then they went back to Kanye and his GW line...I then  Tivo'd the replay on MSNBC, and they kept in Kanye's first remarks, but cut out the last line about GW.

I think the line was "George Bush doesn't care about black people." It wasn't that he doesn't like them.
 
 And in reality I think the truth is closer to Bush not caring about poor people in general. I don't know how much race has to do with it.

If you look who votes for Bush I would bet that most of those in NO are not among them.  Mississippi is another story and they have had crappy response too.

Its a Bush family trait....check out the last sentence....
 
 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 National Public Radio'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."

 Isn't Chuckles the demonically posessed doll from some B-movies?

No, it's Chuckles the clown, who died so grievously in a parade whilst dressed as a peanut.  He was crushed to death by an elephant.

From the W. Post coverage:
 
 West and Mike Myers had been paired up to appear about halfway through the show. Their assignment: Take turns reading a script describing the breach in the levees around New Orleans.
 
 Myers: The landscape of the city has changed dramatically, tragically and perhaps irreversibly. There is now over 25 feet of water where there was once city streets and thriving neighborhoods.
 
 (Myers throws to West, who looked extremely nervous in his super-preppy designer rugby shirt and white pants, which is not like the arrogant West and which, in retrospect, should have been a tip-off.)
 
 West: I hate the way they portray us in the media. You see a black family, it says, "They're looting." You see a white family, it says, "They're looking for food." And, you know, it's been five days [waiting for federal help] because most of the people are black. And even for me to complain about it, I would be a hypocrite because I've tried to turn away from the TV because it's too hard to watch. I've even been shopping before even giving a donation, so now I'm calling my business manager right now to see what is the biggest amount I can give, and just to imagine if I was down there, and those are my people down there. So anybody out there that wants to do anything that we can help -- with the way America is set up to help the poor, the black people, the less well-off, as slow as possible. I mean, the Red Cross is doing everything they can. We already realize a lot of people that could help are at war right now, fighting another way -- and they've given them permission to go down and shoot us!
 
 (West throws back to Myers, who is looking like a guy who stopped on the tarmac to tie his shoe and got hit in the back with the 8:30 to La Guardia.)
 
 Myers: And subtle, but in many ways even more profoundly devastating, is the lasting damage to the survivors' will to rebuild and remain in the area. The destruction of the spirit of the people of southern Louisiana and Mississippi may end up being the most tragic loss of all.
 
 (And, because Myers is apparently as dumb as his Alfalfa hair, he throws it back to West.)
 
 West: George Bush doesn't care about black people!
 
 (Back to Myers, now looking like the 8:30 to La Guardia turned around and caught him square between the eyes.)
 
 Myers: Please call . . .
 
 At which point someone at NBC News finally regained control of the joystick and cut over to Chris Tucker, who started right in with more scripted blah, blah, blah.

I hope you scooped it up and sent it down to NO for some poor black family. Bush would've!

[thirsty moore]

What show was this from?  Who is Mike Myers -- is it the comedian?  I don't have cable.

[thirsty moore]

Nevermind, I just read about it in the post.
