NYT: Steno Bu:President Says He's Responsible in Storm Lapses

[meg]

Throughout his nearly five years in office, Mr. Bush has resisted publicly acknowledging mistakes or shortcomings, and his willingness in this case to edge up to a buck-stops-here statement, however conditional, was evidence of how shaken his presidency has been by the political fallout from the government's handling of the storm.

2. Well, shit. .

Here's a quote from that article: "I want to know how to better cooperate with state and local government, to be able to answer that very question that you asked: Are we capable of dealing with a severe attack or another severe storm? And that's a very important question."

Are you a fucking moron? Hell, dead people are better at working with state and local governments than is your administration. Saddam in prison would do a better job at coordinating between the federal and state governments - in the US! This is civics 101, which you undoubtedly slept through. Will someone show this clown a map of how governments work! Osama and his own cronies just have to be cracking up over this one.

This is one of the most idiotic statements from a world leader that I have ever read.

3. Always saying what he's gonna do with our money

and hardly ever does what he says. But he always has that next purchase item waiting to tell us about. We don't demand accountability.

WHAT A FRIGGIN' WORTHLESS CONGRESS
