Celine Dion: Let ‘em Loot!

It’s not my neighborhood.

Celine Dion - CNN

You know, some people are stealing and they’re making a big deal out of it,” Dion said on CNN’s “Larry King Live,” as she said she’d donate $1 million toward relief.

Oh, they’re stealing 20 pair of jeans or they’re stealing television sets. Who cares? They’re not going to go too far with it. Maybe those people are so poor, some of the people who do that they’re so poor they’ve never touched anything in their lives. Let them touch those things for once.”

Noblesse oblige?

She’d be singing a different tune if they were ransacking her mansion.

    not only are celine dions comments stupid and ill-timed but she appears to talk condescendingly about the New Orleans looters, as if she is some kind of super priviledged royal highness giving her permission for the people of new orleans to loot.This must be insulting and demeaning to the suffering people trapped in the flood-ravaged city.
