#1 As the world looks directly at us, with these two people in charge, Bush gets blamed.

Bush has been a governor of a "hurricane state." He knows the drill. He knows the steps between state power and federal power.

You just gotta believe, as he watched this disaster unfold, he knew it was a disaster for his country.

#3 I don't think Sherry meant it the way you think she did.

By the way, if you want to see BDS in full-blown regalia, head over to the Washington Monthly and check out their commenters. I did battle a little while this evening on one of their threads (now 200+ and counting, I did about 12 or so) -- oh my.

#5 I'm not a mentalist SPOD but try putting

"...he knew it was a disaster for his country" AND THAT HE COULDN'T GET THOSE IDIOTS GOING."

That's the way I read it, right or wrong only Sherry knows.

#6 I thought Sherry was clearly on the President's side: Texas is on the Gulf also, and Bush, having been the governor there, knows the drill and knows what responsibilites the states have, the locals have, and what the feds have. Louisiana's governor and N.O.'s mayor DID NOT DO THEIR PART, tying the hands of the feds.

It's proof that Bush is not Hitler, and we are not a Nazi country with all government decision making centralized.

#7 Sherry's right - W called Blanco on sunday, urging mandatory evacuation (which was noyt his responsibility to call for...). It's a fact, she dithered
