Bette Midler is a putz

Quotes from a Katrina fundraiser:

"I could sit up here and talk for hours about ineptitude, stupidity, blame, in-e-qual-i-ty, global warming, the dangerous destruction of the wetlands . . .

I am telling you these are not just dangerous times, these are disastrous times . . . we're surrounded by disasters - the war, the hurricane, Fox News. . .

A terrible thing happened to me. Today, I got a letter from the Republican Party thanking me, thanking me for supporting this Administration's policies. I did what any self-respecting American of intellect and class would do. I wrote, Go f--- yourself and sent it back - postage due. . .

I would never pick on George Bush because, you know, he's a big fan of mine. He came to see me in the Seventies. A coke dealer of his got him some tickets."

Obviously, none of this had anything to do with raising funds for Katrina victims. But beyond that, it is just blabbering.
