1. About 5 years too late George
Whatever happened to using the bully pulpit like you had promised when running for president?

6. I hear Barbara Bush
has some very needy and deserving Katrina charities they can funnel
the profits into...

in other words.... aren't there some Bush cousins with companies that need help making their bottom line....???
isn't there always at all times a Bush running a company or a state government into the ground somewhere?

hey, Bushitler.... how about taxing the oil companies rather than letting them control where the profits go..

better yet, methinks it's time to for the US to pull a CHavez and nationalize all the friggin oil companies..

but only after the democrats regain control of both houses....
