This in no way makes light of or diminishes the tragedy left in Katrina's wake, but does anyone else find this ironic?
A hurricane, over which no one has any control, hits the Gulf coast, destroys it, wiping out livelihoods, houses, and infrastructure and kills, well I haven't heard final figures, but let's say hundreds. And Bushie decides to cut his 5 week vacation 2 days short to monitor the problem.
That's all well an good, until one considers a war, that HE started, has been going on now for over two years, destroys Iraq, wiping out livelihoods, houses, and infrastructure and kills 100,000 Iraqis as well as 1800 US servicemen and women not to mention all the military personnel maimed and wounded, and yet, with all that going on, Bushie decides to TAKE a 5 week vacation. And yet despite the continuing death and destruction, he continues on through his vacation.
Is being cold, heartless, selfish, and unfeeling "Christian, traditional values" that the far right, Christian conservative Radical Republicans espouse so often?
