WTF?!

White House Briefing - Dealing with Political Disaster:

'Mr. McClellan also said Mr. Bush steered clear of New Orleans yesterday because he did not want to disrupt continuing relief efforts.'

You have got to be kidding me. They grounded all air traffic for his visit, halting recovery and relief efforts being conducted by helicopter.

Lying for this crowd is like breathing for everyone else. It's an autonomic function with the Bush administration. They simply cannot help themselves.

There's a reason that Bush never got within a mile of the people who his administration left stranded in New Orleans, why he hasn't visited the Astrodome in Houston or any of the other temporary shelters set up for the evacuees... he probably wouldn't escape with his life. Like the guy they kicked to death after he attempted rape on a pre-teen girl at the Convention Center, he wouldn't stand a chance.

He is a coward, plain and simple.
