Looks Like A Bunch Of Lilly White Folks With Money To Me!

I guess being poor in America truly is the kiss of death.

Just remember that Bush is the criminal here for not doing anything substantive to rebuild the city in a timely manner.

He got what he wanted by rooting out all those poor folks so they won't vote against him and the Republicans this coming fall.

Only in America can criminals sit in office while the truly needy go without.

You can't blame that on Bush.
  • The problem with the levees was the result of decades of corruption and pork-barreling by native pols.
  • The light which was suddenly aimed at FEMA showed the incompetence of the administration; Bush would rather that hadn't happened.
  • The poor folks went to places like Texas, where they might well be swinging elections in ways not very convenient to Bush and his successor in Austin.  And last but not least,
  • If Bush could aim a hurricane at Nawlins, he'd really be what he only dreams he is.
