Dear ***,Here's the president's political problem:
Louisiana soldiers are dying for George Bush's sins. New Orleans is dying for George Bush's sins (cutting all the flood-protection money to fund tilting at windmills in Iraq). And then the SOB gives a laundry-list speech of all the great stuff the Great God W. is doing for the Gulf Coast, when just a FRACTION of it is plainly evident on the ground, where refugees are plucked off of roofs just to f***ing die of thirst and hunger because no one can seem to get food and water where people actually can eat and drink it.
I freakin' saw one too many people crying into the WWL-TV camera lens, begging for food and water today. Saw too many hard-assed sheriff's captains and parish poobahs with agony written on their faces, almost in tears, begging the state, the feds, ANYONE to send food and water because people are falling out on Interstate ramps and the tops of levees . . . because evacuation shelters are full of refugees and devoid of food and water because no one will resupply them.
The longtime cameraman who shot one such piece said it was the only time he's ever wept while shooting a story. And then he broke down in tears on the air.
I broke down in sobs at my computer.
Next year in Nebraska, we have pro-life Democrats running for 2nd District U.S. House and U.S. Senate (Ben Nelson). They both have my enthusiastic support.
