Bush's Speech - Smoke And Mirrors - Or Lighting And Netting
http://freeinternetpress.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=4549

SNIP:
After all, given the incredible ineptness and unconscionable callousness displayed by the White House in getting rescuers to the scene of the flood, it is surely relevant to show how efficient the same White House's PR operation can be at getting crucial equipment like lights and generators into the battered city when it's a matter not of lives, but of the president's image.

At this point, I'd be interested in hearing what happened to those generators. Having schlepped them all the way into the ravaged city, did the White House donate them to the relief effort, or did they just pack them up and fly them out again, the way they did with the fake "relief supplies" that were set up for a staged earlier visit by the president to flood victims in Mississippi (a bit of information that was also left out of American coverage but reported by a German TV reporter)?
