Most rich people think poor people are lazy. They just don't usually say so in public, particularly if they won't those poor people to vote for them.

That Dubya would have said such a thing in a college classroom thirty years ago doesn't surprise me. To find that he said such a thing at a private cocktail party attended by his rich cronies wouldn't surprise me. If he were to make such a statement in a campaign speech it would surprise me, but not too much. After all, there is probably no limit to the man's ability to stick his foot in his mouth.
