Political humor of the day - Bush to oversee probe into what went wrong
Well, that should take about as long as it takes for him to pass the first mirror. Although, even in the extraordinarily unlikely event that he were to conclude that he himself was to blame, I doubt he'd see the real problem, as described on a banner seen at a recent demonstration:BUSH is the symptom. CAPITALISM is the disease. REVOLUTION is the cure. Some may think there is another cure. But there can be no doubt about the disease.
Actually, to be more accurate, Bush isn't the symptom, he's the carrier, the annoying mosquito infecting his victims with the disease he carries within. The symptom, and the victim of that disease, is a flooded city filled with the dead and dying, and a country filled with the dispossessed.
Oh, and for a little additional bit of humor, the article above also informs us that Dick Cheney is going to appear in the "region" on Thursday, a mere ten days after the hurricane struck. There are some people who seriously think that Cheney is going to run for President in 2008. I think not.
