And while he was doing all that, he STILL found time to practice guitar.

Wow.

I never realised he was so talented at multitasking. (Here Dubya, have a pretzel as a reward)

Now I don't feel the least bit put out by the fact that he was listening to stories about goats when the shit was going down. Obviously, he was multitasking then too...

" what more did you want?"

You know what I wanted? I wanted a disaster recovery plan that wouldn't leave Americansdying in the streets, huddled and hungry, and only getting sicker.

Four years after 9/11. Four. Fucking. Years. And with 2 days advance warning of an impending disaster, the president, Dear Leader, along with Cheney and Rice stay on vacation and laugh it up.

You have ot realize that the anger of him staying on vacation for 3 more days after the fact is just one tiny bit of the sheer rage we have over this government's actions.

We were supposed to be ready for this. 9/11 Changed Everything, right? Then why in the world is this getting worse and worse by the hour, instead of getting better?

I heard some comments last night, from people in my field. They reckon Bush and his cronies are similar to a modern day Marie Antoinette. "Let them eat cake" brought forward to the 21st century. "Let them drink beer"

One person actually said that the dead in New Orleans are a sacrifice. It was necessary for them to die, for the American public to be woken up out of its slumber.

Personally, though I'm gladdened to see that EVEN FOX is ripping into the administration for this one, I think the Republican capacity for denial and self-delusion will prevent any real change from happening.

"People toss the word "vacationing" around..."

Considering how much time Dubya has spent on vacation during his reign...cough...term his "vacationing" is more than a valid topic of discussion to "toss around". One commentator, Bill Mahr I think it was, stated that Bush's latest respite is exceeded in length by only one other President in history. That's for a single vacation span. Total amount of time spent on vacation by Bush is also pushing at the record books.

"what more did you want?"

A President who leads. A President who, as soon as was aware of the extent of the problem, was on Marine One and on his way to Louisiana as soon was reasonably safe and sorting out the clusterfuck of authorities and agencies and making sure the existing disaster relief system worked the way it was supposed to and help got where it was needed when it was needed. Harry Truman used to have a sign on his desk in the Oval Office that read "The Buck Stops Here". Do you think there will be anything within spitting distance of that kind of accountability when it comes to the fuck-ups with the Gulf-State rescue and relief efforts? No Fucking Way. Did anyone here hear Mayor Nagin's vitriolic interview CNN has been recasting? I applaude the man for saying what needed to be said in the way it needed to be said. Supposedly there have been scenarios developed by various think tanks and research groups about the effects of a hurricane hitting New Orleans and yet... As of an hour ago, four days after the hurricane hit, there are still people trapped in houses, people dying while surrounded by others, the very worse of that society roaming the streets, it's all a fucking mess and not getting better fast enough. And who are we supposed to look to if not our elected leaders? I think this whole situation is revealing something very unpleasant and dishonorable about the "American Way of Life" and the whole thing makes me sick.

"And people who say, "He wouldn't leave his vacation..." are being dumb."

And I think (notice the subjective qualifier?) people who think G.W. Bush is a good person much less compentent President are fucking morons. But that, of course, is just my opinion.

"(Here Dubya, have a pretzel as a reward)"

Careful MC. Our government has no sense of humor when it comes to threats to his excellency and offering any member of the Bush family a pretzel is considered a hostile act. In answer to your query from a previous feedback: I'm doing well. Check my LJ if you want to know more.

Directed to K Man..

From his ranch, he failed to get on the TV before Katrina hit and say "Get the hell out of the way of this one. It's bigger than my ego, the edema around Dick's Heart, and Halliburton's off-shore bank accounts."

He formed a cabinet level task force to deal with the problem on Thursday or Friday. Great. Monday would have been too late.

The single most troubling thing about Katrina is that it is effectively a test of this administrations ability to handle a dirty bomb attack. I'm not impressed.

I'm livid, tired, arranging a fundraiser in my town, wishing I could spare some more cash, but not impressed.
