Why can't the Shrub have half the leadership

[Surya Gayatri]

of New Orlean's mayor? He's a model of calm resolution and clear headedness. :thumbsup:

Where is the AWOL one?

1. He sounds so calm...looks tired too, poor guy.

Bush piggybacks on the backs of the mayors.

He did it with Giuliani too. Rudy is a jerk, but he was *there*. He was calm, he was in control, etc.

Bush didn't do shit but thump his chest out there with the firefighters.

2. Yeah, get ready

for the post disaster fly-in, so he can stand on some rubble and mouth some empty platitudes with a flag in the background. God, what an excuse for a human being!

3. Why can't he have even a shred of real leadership?

4. Real leadership

requires empathy, compassion and the ability to inspire, among mnay other qualities--enough said.
