I Bet They Dodge Responsibility This Time...Again

I will actually try to make this one short and sweet as it is 6-something in the morning. But check it. How much does ANYONE want to bet that any failures in the levee infrastructure and pretty much anything that Michael Chertoff and his cronies generally fuck up with this hurricane, Bush will shift the blame from himself and his friends to the presidential candidates, and find a way to make it their responsibility to help the people and help with the rebuilding and restoration effort, even though neither one is actually the president yet! Wait and see.


Remember, Bush & Co. sat back and watched Katrina wipe out New Orleans like it was a made-for-TV movie. They didn't get off their ass to do anything, and actually prevented private businesses from providing assistance (e.g. Wal-Mart, Home Depot). But what they were good at was herding all the black people they could into the SuperDeathDome and wouldn't let them leave, wouldn't give them food, wouldn't give them water, but they did point guns at them and threaten to shoot and kill them. Now thank God we won't have that problem this time because they forced everyone to evacuate, but...they only did that because they didn't want another Superdome incident on their hands. Plus most of the black folks who were actually in the Superdome still can't afford to come back to NOLA and rebuild. Here I am getting all off topic again.

Basically, when whatever gets fucked up with government response or infrastructure, what the story go from what Bush and the government should have done and what they should be doing to what would have the candidates done and what are they doing to help. It'll be subtle, but absolute.
