The horror unfolds, worst-case after worst-case.  I can’t even feign
the ability to write a coherent summary.  So here’s just a list of
stuff I’ve come across while surfing the Lake George region in the last few days.

The Bush administration on those left behind in New Orleans, many of whom had virtually no resources, and couldn’t leave without help: they should have known this was coming.

The Bush administration on their own responsibility for planning the rescue, given command of the most powerful array of resources in human history: we couldn’t possibly have known.

Where the hell is Cheney?  Not that he’s competent or ethical or a leader or anybody I want anywhere near New Orleans.

But as AmericaBlog pointed out last night, where the hell is he?  Is he still on vacation?  Dead?  Undead?  Gravely ill?  His official website, as of 10 am pst Friday morning, still doesn’t even mention Katrina.

On day five of this horrific crisis — but only three days after this picture was taken — Bush holds a press conference.

While people at the Convention Center are STILL DYING, Bush praises the
head of FEMA who didn’t know this time yesterday that people were even
there.  "Brownie, you’re doing a heck of a job."

Yesterday, on Good Morning America, Bush pretended that everything that could possibly be done was being done.

That didn’t stick long.

So the pose for today is the exact opposite: outrage.

"The results are not acceptable," he says.

I have to say I agree.
