as much as i hate bush's response to this disaster... as much as i blame him, as well as the governor of louisiana and the mayor of new orleans, the head of fema, the head of homeland security, etc. for the utter failure and lack of preparation for something that we knew was comming...
to blame the actuall storm on bush because he didn't sign kyoto is rediculously naive and stupid.
should we blame the french for the tsunami? i mean after all, they conducted nuclear testing in the area that weakened the ground in the area, perhaps leading to the slipping of the plates...
OF COURSE not... let's not be stupid. if you want to bring politics into this? fine... by all means. but anyone wanting to bring bipartisan politics into this needs to be slapped in the face with a wet noodle. it's the republicans... but the democratic governor of louisiana fucked up just as much as the federal government. it's a race thing... but the african-american mayor of new orleans fucked up just as much as the state and federal governments did. we fucked this thing up on all levels, all parties. let's not let our party affiliations 'cause us to let anyone off the hook.
and lastly, there's plenty to blame bush for in regards to the response. let's not go blaming him for things that he had nothing to do with. 'cause even if these wacky ass theories about how global warming 'cause this hurricane is true... which they're not... but let's ay for a second that they are... to blame the sitting president for an environmental problem that we've known about for decades is silly.
