Wipe That Sorry Grin Off Your Face

The New York Times has had it with George W. Bush and his stupid grin.

George W. Bush gave one of the worst speeches of his life yesterday, especially given the level of national distress and the need for words of consolation and wisdom. In what seems to be a ritual in this administration, the president appeared a day later than he was needed. He then read an address of a quality more appropriate for an Arbor Day celebration: a long laundry list of pounds of ice, generators and blankets delivered to the stricken Gulf Coast. He advised the public that anybody who wanted to help should send cash, grinned (emphasis mine), and promised that everything would work out in the end.

Yeah, George, it's funny.  Most of those victims in New Orleans are Black, poor, and desperate.  None of your people in that mix, eh?

we are in agreement as to how badly this is going...atleast 2.5 million people homeless, and people dying in the street and the dome, and the convention center- and he is reading us ice inventories- is he nuts? or drugged? or drunk?

Man of the people indeed. Perhaps poor white Southerners who saw their homes swept away by poor planning and budget cuts will finally come to understand that Bush never gave a shit about them at all.

And the fact that Homeland Security should have been involved in storm planning . . . well, shit. They should have done a lot of things. Let's hope and act for big changes in '06. The stakes are high.

What people didn't realize was that BushCo's idea of Homeland Security was making sure their asses were covered in case of another terrorist attack. They didn't count on the next terrorist being the perfect storm. They can convince the sheeple to hate Muslims, but how the hell you gonna convince them to hate Mother Nature?
