Shhh Guys, He's On Vacation

From a Reuters article about the looting in New Orleans:

-----

"I am absolutely disgusted. After the tsunami our people, even the ones who lost everything, wanted to help the others who were suffering," Sajeewa Chinthaka, 36, as he watched a cricket match in Colombo, Sri Lanka.

"Not a single tourist caught in the tsunami was mugged. Now with all this happening in the U.S. we can easily see where the civilized part of the world's population is."

And the Commander-in-Chief is whacking off behind the podium again in between ranch outings, dispensing nebulous accusations that the relief efforts are "unsatisfactory." Notice him, leader of the Federal Government, sitting on his hands while throwing around these smug reprimands. Exactly who are you addressing, Mr. President?

The travesty grows with each passing day. If Bush makes it through this with his reputation unscathed, American democracy will have officially taken a dump on its own eulogy.
