George W. Bush is doing one thing very well. He is getting on with his life while the lives of perhaps a million Americans are suddenly all about shelters, mud, cholera, typhoid, heat, homelessness, hopelessness and death. While thousands in three of his Red States were dying, Bush was eating cake with John McCain, playing Golf and in a compelling comparison with Nero, strumming the guitar.
To those still waiting rescue in collapsing buildings, attics and trees, his smug exhortation to send cash in Wednesday’s speech and his condescending promise that everything would be all right, would not have gone down well if they had been able to hear it.Somehow, waving pictures of Jane Fonda and the stale tirades about the Liberal Media aren’t working this time. Somehow I don’t think Karl Rove is going to be able to conjure up forged documents or paid witnesses to shift the blame toward the usual suspects. George W. Bush, in short, is looking ineffective and superfluous. This is, at least in part because he has served his purpose; delivering $70 a barrel oil to the tyrannical Middle Eastern monarchs for whom his family works and gigantic windfall profits and tax breaks to his supporters.

Another Pulitzer nominee post Foggy. Mission Accomplished!
I'm sure I do deserve a Pulitzer, but I'd be a Foolitzer if I thought it would make a difference.
I love conspiracy theorists, especially those with such impressive vocabularies.
I love anonymous posters with no facts and no argument who attempt to dismiss the incontrovertable by calling one a conspiracy theorist. Perhaps you'd believe someone with a child's vocabulary and a mouth full of drawl?
The bit about Bush eating cake is right on the White House website along with a picture - or is that some Liberal Media Conspiracy?
>>He is getting on with his life while the lives of perhaps a million Americans are suddenly all about shelters, mud, cholera, typhoid, heat, homelessness, hopelessness and death.<<
Because he is president he's not allowed to live his own life? What have you done, besides posting your tirades on here, but live your own life since this happened. The situation is beyond dire, and if one only had your biased meanderings to base an opinion on one would think he was doing nothing to try and alleviate the suffering.
>> his smug exhortation to send cash<<
Even the Red Cross is asking that people only send cash rather than donating clothing, food, etc, because they don't have the resources to haul in donated items.
>>George W. Bush, in short, is looking ineffective and superfluous<<
Right, we ALL know Pres. Bush is behind this whole hurricane thing.
>>The bit about Bush eating cake is right on the White House website along with a picture<<
I didn't look but I seriously doubt the White House website drew any comparisons to Marie Antoinette if they really posted such a photograph. FYI, whitehouse.org is a spoof incase you were using it as a legitimate news source.
>>I love anonymous posters<<
Why do you think calling yourself Capt. Fogg makes you any less anonymous than me?
>>Perhaps you'd believe someone with a child's vocabulary and a mouth full of drawl?<<
Pardon the drawl ya'll, but having a voluminous vocabulary does not make your opinion worth more or make your opinion any more convincing than someone with a less extensive vocabulary. Common sense tends to shine through whether one is educated or not. Drawls are geographic, and not necessarily associated with illiteracy. One of the most refined sounding women in history was Rosalind Carter (I'm sure you'll agree), and she has a lovely southern drawl.
Have a nice day.
Like most anonymous posters and particularly those with racist names, you're an incoherent blowhard who makes no points whatever. This isn't about Rosalind or your feelings of insecurity, it's about the crooks who run my country.
Have a crappy life - keep voting for crooks.
Like most assholes, be they liberal or conservative, you take yourself and your own bloody opinions way too seriously. I made as much sense as you did, and you know it and that's why you are so angry now. The only difference between you and I is that you have a little troop of followers who wait with baited breath for the words to fall like jewels off your fingertips onto a computer screen where as I dare to disagree with the sensai. Racist name? Jose Jimenez was a comedy routine by the late Bill Dana. Granted you may not be old enough to know of it but you're certainly old enough to know you shouldn't fly off the handle and make rash accusations, but you are a flaming liberal so I shouldn't be so surprised. But I digress, I succeeded in angering you and that's all I wanted anyway. I'll stop now, it's not so fun when it's so easy to do.
PS, your country is my country too and ALL politicians are crooks.
XOXO
You spell it BAITED breath and you have the cojones to accuse me of anything? It's bated, professor.
No I'm not angry, don't flatter yourself. In fact I have to laugh at you thinking an elementary vocabulary is impressive, but then you're among the group that prospers by making idiots think they are intelligent. Keep believing, dude.
I'm 60 years old, remember Bill Dana and know enough Mexicans to tear your ears off and feed them to you if you tell them you think he was funny.
