Dance of the idiot boy

I was sort of willing (sort of) to give W the tiniest sliver of the benefit of the doubt over this Hurricane Katrina thing. Yes, he mismanaged the whole thing, but so did the local and state authorities. Everyone screwed up. But then I was watching The Daily Show last night and he had video of George Bush talking, things I haven't heard yet. Sigh. Maybe you've already heard them and have already reconciled with the fact that he's getting dumber with age.

In one clip, he said that he remembers going to New Orleans to have a good time - and then he turns around to one of his posse and says, chuckling, maybe too good a time. In another clip, he mentions how they're going to get Trent Lott's house rebuilt and he can't wait to sit on his front porch again. Jon Stewart didn't even have a retort for that.

Can't Idiot Boy's handlers staple his mouth shut at crucial times? What happened to his puppeteer at this key time? Did he whine about how this was the time for him to become a real live boy, so they gave him free rein? Whenever he speaks off the cuff, we realize again what an ass he is. Guess what? We have him for three more years. Seems awfully long, doesn't it?
