on to the newer threads – it’s been fun!

the bushie response is intentional negligence designed to undermmine the notion of federal government. It was also mean-spirited, spiteful, and racist – pure & simple, from day one. it wasn’t do your best for your fellow americans – it was, say we’re doing our best and then just wing it — just like the war in iraq, just like no child left behind, just like catching osama, etc, etc, etc. say one thing do another. this is the say one thing do another administration!

this country is, for all practical purposes, operating without a leader, with a cabal of wealthy elitest liars, thieves, & crooks who do photo-ops and pundit shows — and probably if the truth were known, are also perverts.

Later that night:

Sept. 19, 2005 issue – It’s a standing joke among the president’s top aides: who gets to deliver the bad news? Warm and hearty in public, Bush can be cold and snappish in private, and aides sometimes cringe before the displeasure of the president of the United States, or, as he is known in West Wing jargon, POTUS. The bad news on this early morning, Tuesday, Aug. 30, some 24 hours after Hurricane Katrina had ripped through New Orleans, was that the president would have to cut short his five-week vacation by a couple of days and return to Washington. The president’s chief of staff, Andrew Card; his deputy chief of staff, Joe Hagin; his counselor, Dan Bartlett, and his spokesman, Scott McClellan, held a conference call to discuss the question of the president’s early return and the delicate task of telling him. Hagin, it was decided, as senior aide on the ground, would do the deed.

The reality, say several aides who did not wish to be quoted because it might displease the president, did not really sink in until Thursday night. Some White House staffers were watching the evening news and thought the president needed to see the horrific reports coming out of New Orleans. Counselor Bartlett made up a DVD of the newscasts so Bush could see them in their entirety as he flew down to the Gulf Coast the next morning on Air Force One.

How this could be—how the president of the United States could have even less “situational awareness,” as they say in the military, than the average American about the worst natural disaster in a century—is one of the more perplexing and troubling chapters in a story that, despite moments of heroism and acts of great generosity, ranks as a national disgrace.

What I want to know is who in our government is going to hold this administration accountable for all the wrongs they’ve committed on our people, our country, and the citizens of Iraq? Who?
