George Bush doesn’t care about Rich White People
CNN, NBC and all other media sources have been reporting on the devistating fires ravishing parts of southern California this week. Focus has been on the evacuees fleeing to Qualcomm Stadium watching in horror as their homes go up in flames on TV, and brave firefighters working 14 hour shifts to contain the ruthless wildfires. But there is a small subsection of people being ignored during this difficult time - The A list celebrity.
It was barley reported that a wildfire that began early Sunday morning in Malibu scorched a plot of land belonging to Sean Penn and has forced evacuations all over the tony Pacific-adjacent enclave, including gated communities where celebs such as Mel Gibson, Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox and David Arquette reside.
Also affected Monday was Promises treatment center. Patients who chose that specific Malibu rehab facility because Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears, Ben Affleck and a host of others lept on the wagon there were tossed aside -Transferred to a different (and probably less fabulous) outpatient locale after the area was included in a mandatory evacuation.
When asked what he would do to save the more important dwellings of the fabulously wealthy, George Bush replied, “I wish we could control the wind, because one of the things that’s hampering our joint capability of fighting these fires is the strong westerly winds. “I’m told the winds may be dying down soon, in which case it will make it — make this equipment we’ve got in place a lot more effective at helping fight the fires.”
This apparent Bush brush-off was too much for Kiefer Sutherland who’s show 24 was shooting at a Marine Corps air station in Irvine, about 40 miles southeast of Los Angeles. 24 had to cancel filming at 7:30 a.m. at one of the base’s hangars due to smoke from the Santiago fire. Sutherland was last seen taking his rage out on a newly plucked Christmas tree.
The president choose to lump celebs in with everyone else yesterday and signed a “major disaster declaration,” enabling federal funds to be released to families who have been disrupted by the wildfires.
“George Bush doesn’t care about famous people,” one distraught celebrity was overheard saying “and former cast members of Friends.”
