just had this emailed to me, my friend called it a "Masterful Dope Slap for Bush". She's right!
Like “all the king’s men” in the Humpty Dumpty case, all the smokescreens, denials and counteroffensives in the world will not be able to put President Bush’s credibility back together again following the demonstration of his abject failure of leadership last week that let the Hurricane Katrina disaster swell into a still-unfolding human and national catastrophe of unparalleled proportions.
Sorry, Mr. President, you were caught by live television cameras with your pants wrapped around your ankles for a worldwide audience of billions to see, thanks to an alert news media, first hand. You can’t undo that.
Your worst nightmare actually happened. A real crisis requiring a real commander occurred. Stumbling around your ranch on yet another vacation, you were clueless. You were about as far from being prepared to act appropriately in the situation as the most zoned out, beer bellied backyard cookout aficionado in the land, and we all saw it.
