Whooo, boy, they shure got him now!

There is apparently much buzz going around the Old Media in regard to some video that demonstrated that President Junior knew about Hurricane Katrina before it hit land – AND DID NOTHING TO STOP IT OR CHANGE ITS COURSE!

An explosive videotape indicates President Bush and his homeland security chief were painstakingly briefed before Hurricane Katrina on worst-case scenarios – contradicting Bush’s later assertions that no one could have guessed New Orleans’ levees would fail.

The video obtained by The Associated Press, along with transcripts of six days of meetings, shows Bush was told of possible levee breaches, impending disaster for evacuees at the New Orleans Superdome and other “grave concerns” about the approaching storm, which experts warned was the “Big One.”

The video records Bush and Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff at the President’s Crawford, Tex., ranch, participating in the teleconference on Aug. 28 – the day before Katrina hit – with then-Federal Emergency Management chief Michael Brown and other disaster officials in Washington.

I suppose the President failed on three fronts:

1. He did nothing to stop or divert the storm.

2. He did nothing to move all of the people living below sea level (behind levees that could admittedly only withstand a Cat 3 hurricane) from their homes well before the hurricane hit.

3. He assumed that state and city officials had some type of contingency plan (which is where the PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITY for disaster preparedness lies) and would execute said plan before the storm made landfall.

Yep. Looks like you’ve got him now, Old Media. We’re all really impressed out here in flyover country!

Duncan you may be on to something. I remember in Bush’s reelection speeches, he promised to make a white, Christian fanatical America. He was just doing his job man.

Say, why does this blog seem oddly familiar? Did I use to blog here?

This was on the front page of the Dallas Morning News. Meanwhile Nagin shows up in Civil War general’s costume. Go figure.

Welcome back Gordo.

I was told on Monday to drink until Ray Nagin makes sense: I’ve been on a 72 hour bender, and I still think that the 9th ward’s demise was DEATH BY CHOCOLATE!

So how exactly do you go about stopping or diverting a hurricane?
