The "Medium and the Message"

[PornoDoggy]

Bush himself did not freeze in response to the Hurricane. Bush himself did all that he was supposed to do in response to this specific crisis.

Five years into his Presidency, the difference in the response by FEMA to the crisis in NO compared to the crisis in NYC says it all.

Was the state government at fault as well? I have no doubt it was - which doesn't for a single minute mitigate the [facts | opinions] outlined above.

Was that the playing the guitar part, or the looking out the plane window part?

Careful Drav, or you'll start sounding like the folks (see above) who still think Bush should've been psychically tuned in and known not to schedule a book reading at a school when the planes hit.

As for looking out the window - the Mayors, Governors, etc are all doing it too, it's how you get a good view of the devastation and can easily see where relief is deployed and where it isn't. Back in pre-tv and pre-helicopter eras leaders would do the same thing from high hills and towers. But any excuse to slam and the same naysayers jump right on it - gotta love their enthusiasm for the Bitch Brigade job.

Edited: eras, not areas. Damn fingers.
