I was listening to the morning radio. They had a firefighter who went down to the disaster area and was working in a soup kitchen set up. Laura Bush came in to "help." 20 mins before she arrived they shut down the food line to set up security so that all the people waiting...had to wait longer. They then hand picked about 10 people from the crowd. Someone put food on all the plates.
She then arrived served pre made plates of food to 10 people, got her photo taken and then promptly left.
Thanks for helping out!!!!! This is a joke. She shows up for the photo op, doesn't even do anything then leaves. I'm sure she's very proud of herself and feels great that she helped for 10 freakin minutes. I know both parties do this, but this is a huge disaster.
The volunteers who were there were extremely angry. They have been there working hours on end, then she shows up, gets her pic taken and gets credit for helping. Freaking joke.
