The Callous Bush and the Callous Louses He Surrounds Himself With
Bob has a nice run-down of the outrages perpetrated by Bush & Co. during Hurricane Corrina Katrina. Bush staying on vacation while people died. Bush, Rumsfeld, Rice and Cheney attending a baseball game the night after the levees were topped. Condi Rice going shopping for shoes after the levees were topped. Bush stuffing the leadership of FEMA with people who had no experience and no credentials, except for the head of FEMA, Mike Brown, who lied on his resume (let's ignore, for a moment, the gross incompetence and dereliction of duty of the Bush White House and Republican senators who confirmed Brown's appointment without actually checking it…talk about croonyism). Bush and team, under the leadership of Karl Rove, saying out of one side of their mouths that this isn't a time to assign blame for the disaster relief fiasco, while out the other side of their mouths blaming local and State officials for the Federal government's failures. There's more. Go read.
That's Hurricane Katrina to most of us, but to the Bush family, it's Hurricane Corrina. (thanks to Bob for that one, too)
Just in case it hasn't set in yet: the Bush family doesn't care about Americans. The entire Bush White House doesn't care. They're the kind of callous, rich buffoons who sit around their dining room and remark at what a good thing a hurricane can be for the "under-privileged."e; Let me reiterate my point of a few days ago: if you voted for Bush, then the deaths along the Gulf are largely your fault.
