Singer/songwriter BURT BACHARACH has attacked US President GEORGE W BUSH for his handling of the Hurricane Katrina rescue operation.

The WALK ON BY star insists America had adequate warning of the horrific disaster which rocked Louisiana and left New Orleans submerged, and yet Bush continued to fund the war against terror instead of protecting his people.

Bacharach, 77, recalls reading newspaper articles months before the hurricane, warning "that (New Orleans) would be engulfed, that people would drown, that bodies would be floating down the road.

"Instead of pushing the funding up, they took most of it away to fight this stupid war, and that's unforgivable.

"I think Bush is just about the poorest president we've ever had. You'd have to go back before I was born to find a worse one."

10. Oh, Paul's been all over (even NPR) with his rock -cover CD.

Terry Gross did an interview with him on "Fresh Air", and played numerous cuts from the CD.

I am very, very sorry to admit -- I secretly listen to it on the headphones at Barnes & Noble. I just can't resist that ring-a-ding-ding. My dirty little secret.
