This is one of two things.
Either Rove is playing a wounded dove routine, sucking the Libs into an investigation that will shred them beyond salvage, or else Bush cowboyed off on his own, forgetting that he never learned to talk with a suit on. He does just fine when he's wearing jeans, but when he tries to pretty his Texas twang up and sound like the Ivy Leaguer his history says he is but his attitude can't countenence, it comes across as a, well....a smirk.
Either way, he could have said it better. By admitting failures at all levels of government, he has opened every Guardsman, every FEMA employeee, every bulldozer and chopper driver, up to any vile charge the Liberals can and will concoct to keep this pot boiling. Blanket statements like that are, in my opinion, a mistake, right up until an investigation proves who did what, that what they did was wrong, and that they had the means to have known better.
Anyway, the boss is the boss, and he's on his own now, as far as I'm concerned. I have not and will not contribute the first nickle to New Orleans of Louisiana, my money goes to Mississippi until I see a mechanism in place to prevent Blanco, Nagin and Landrieu from pocketing it. Further, since he's handed the Libs a baseball bat to beat us all with, I'm done fighting the the lies the MSM can't seem to stop handing out.
There's weeds in my garden, the grass is too tall, another hurricane off the east coast, a train set my son needs built and I'm closing my book on Katrina.
I agree with you. Anyway, I hope for the best. The MSM would twist anything-- damned no matter what he does.
Fortunately, the American people have been able to see through this (so far). Let's hope this trend continues.
