On his 13th trip to the Katrina-devastated Gulf Coast, where hundreds died and tens of thousands lost everything they had,

George W. Bush was still mourning the loss of Sen. Trent Lott’s Mississippi waterfront house.

Bush, Katrina & Trent Lott's House

"Out of the rubbles of Trent Lott's house -- he's lost his entire house -- there's going to be a fantastic house. And I'm looking forward to sitting on the porch."
-- George W. Bush, Sept. 2

Returning to the devastated Gulf Coast for a 13th time since Hurricane Katrina, George W. Bush was mourning again the destruction of Sen. Trent Lott's "fantastic" house which overlooked the water. In doing so, Bush revealed that his deepest sympathies go to people of his privileged class, while he strains to project concern for average folk, especially the black ones. August 29, 2006
