What Bush did day-by-day in Aug. 2001 after PDB: from CtrforAmerProgress

[DesEtoiles]

If you are looking to accumulate all the damning information you can about the Bush Administration's failures after receiving the August 6, 2001 PDB (like me), then you should add this to your list.

This has been out there for awhile, but the Center for American Progress has compiled Bush's schedule in the weeks after receiving the PDB, based on public appearances and news accounts.

It's there after the flip.

1. They didn't include the beverages he drank each night. How many

beers and shots did he have?

[demigoddess]

3. i read that he drinks LOTS of non alcoholic beer, but then if you look

you will find that non alcohol beer actually has some alcohol and so he is getting some alcohol every day. Hair of the dog, so to speak.

2. People were already pretty sick of this guy by then.

The history of this will show that the whole 9/11 attack happened because bush was asleep at the wheel.
