Bush the drunk-enabler says no housing problem in Dallas

Videotaped on the sly at a Houston fundraiser last week by an attendee who later turned the tape over to Houston’s ABC affiliate, President Bush went enabler, hypocritical, smirky and martyr all in the same breath .

First came the “Wall Street was drunk” comments:

“Wall Street got drunk — that's one of the reasons I asked you to turn off the TV cameras — it got drunk and now it’s got a hangover,” Bush said Friday, according to a video obtained by Houston’s ABC affiliate, KTRK. “The question is how long will it sober up and not try to do all these fancy financial instruments.”

So, our MBA president turns hypocritical on pretending he doesn’t understand “these fancy financial instruments,” let alone that …

A former alcoholic-drinking president, who knows well what “enabling” means, gets hypocritical on failure to own up to his administration enabled “these fancy financial instruments.”

Next? Bush the martyr, with a touch of smirky:

“And then we got a housing issue, not in Houston, and evidently, not in Dallas, because Laura was over there trying to buy a house today.”

Ahh, poor George (and Laura). You can’t buy a $2mil house in Highland Park while your Republican-voting supporters in Plano, as well as Democrats in Dallas and the south suburbs are facing foreclosure.
