Thanks, LBJ. What a legacy

Thank you, LBJ.. Your "Great Society" has been anything but. Thanks to your "vision" and its accompanying dumbing down of the American populace to the lowest common denominator, and raising a whole generation comprised of the "entitlement mentality" we have mental giants dolts like this to contend with:
(from Fox News): UPDATE: Transcript in extended entry. (via Fumare)

ALICIA ACUNA: The FEMA cards were supposed to be $2,000 apiece, but you received –

UM: Two thousand dollars. I only rec–

AA: — a FEMA card –

UM: –received seven hundred dollars, and they cut my card off.

AA: And when you asked them why that was what were you told?

UM: The don’t know…nobody knows….

AA: Okay, thank you very much.

UM: Do you know?

AA: I do not know, no.

UM: Okay, well find out for me and let me and you tell me.

[At this point, the interview (should have) ended, and Acuna wrapped up her summary of the frustrated Astrodome residents. But then Sellers did the unthinkable, in light of the previous f-bomb: he asked Acuna to go back to Unidentified Man and “ask him what he wants…what is he looking for?”]

AA: Uh, the anchor in New York would like to know — his name is Bob — he would like to know what it is that you would like to happen. What do you want?

UM: What I would like to happen? I would like for them to give us at least $20,000 apiece [motions to girl on his arm], so we can, you know, get our life together, you know. We didn’t ask to come on that that that bus slave…it’s like a slave ship, it’s like, you know, back in history, you know, they put us on a slave ship, they separated us from our family, they did it — You know, this is just modern day slavery, you know? Just give us what the f**k we deserve….

BOB SELLERS: Wh-wh-wh-whoa, woah…hold on. Hold on. That- that’s, that’s enough. I mean you’ve made your point, sir. We thank you very much for being with us, but Alicia–

UM: [Still talking off-camera] It’s just like a slave ship….

BS: We, we know there’s frustration there, and a lot of these folks have gone through so much, and we don’t want to minimize, or trivialize that. But, uh, we still have certain responsibility here in what we’re doing as far as broadcasting so…Alicia, do you have any final words? Okay, well we lost Alicia….
