Chimpy McSmirk, after reading a short statement (boy, they can’t let him off his leash for a minute, can they?) has decided to cut his vacation short by a few days because of the disaster caused by Katrina. Well, it’s about friggin’ time he took some leadership on this, isn’t it?
Rachel Maddow on Air America Radio (filling in for Al) wondered how much of an argument between Bush and his handlers that took. It was pure snark on her part to be sure, but still, you do wonder…
Too bad so many of our National Guard is in Iraq getting shot at. They, and their specialized equipment, would have done a lot of good here.
If you want to help, the best thing you can do is send money. Sending goods like water and food clogs the system, but the Red Cross can get that stuff for themselves if you send them cash. You can do that here. The site is slow, presumably with good Americans and world citizens trying to donate, so be patient. You can choose to send the donation directly to “Hurricane 2005 Relief.”

Chimpy McSmirk? Well, whatever.
Bush’s lack of action on this has really disgusted me. This is among the worst natural disasters this country has ever seen, and Bush is just dragging his feet. Why hasn’t he released any of the oil reserves yet? Why hasn’t he called a press conference or gotten on TV? What the hell!

Yeah it’s ad hominem, but it’s my blog. If you want to be respectful to this president (and to my mind, you have to earn respect, and this guy’s running in the negative), get your own damn blog.

“Chimpy McSmirk” is quite tame compared to what he actually deserves to be called.
