While California burns where is (the compassionate conservative) Bush?

[glarius]

Unless I've missed something, Bush has been a no show in southern California during this time of such terrible distress....No mention of it from the media either....If it was Clinton he'd be vilified and called unfeeling and unpresidential....

1. went to Crawford

for four days--very tired from his trip to exotic places and needs a few days on the bottle without interference of the hustle and bustle of actually leading. Let someone else take care of it. Just give him the talking points--he will read them next time in front of an audience, as best he can, and think he is "leading"

2. he's on VACATION

in Crawford.

DUH

[Kusala]

3. Evidently in Dallas

I just read an e-mail from Dallas Peace Center that he's speaking at a church here. And Rove has a speaking engagement also. Unfortunately, I just read it an hour ago so I'm not gonna be able to make the protest.

4. on the other hand..

if he went to SoCal he'd use resources best put on the fires...and we'd criticize him for that...

5. How does he get away with this shit?.....absolutely disgusting! n/t

6. Where is AH-NULD????

Maybe I've missed something, but I have not heard a word about him being on the scene, offering help, whatever.

7. He was onCNN today (in Washington) said something about being

with some of the California citizens yesterday, I think.

[Postman]

8. Gropernator to the rescue.......

"Big news from southern California — wildfires still burning out of control and destroying thousands of acres of trees. Everything is gonna be fine, because governor-elect Arnold Schwarzenegger told people that he played a firefighter in 'Collateral Damage.'" —Conan O'Brien

[mlawson]

9. To Ah-nuld: "Are you the Governor of California??"

A: "No, but I will PLAY one on TV!!!!!"

10. Chimpy can stay out of California and we'll be much happier.

And Arnold can stay in Washington and we'll be much happier.
