Yet Another Reason to Haul His Sorry Ass to Jail


Not that you really NEED more reasons, but here's another example of the sort of ugly, incompetent viciousness that defines Team Bush:

Louisiana was shortchanged in funding for a pilot program to build so-called Katrina Cottages as a disaster-housing alternative, the investigative arm of Congress concluded.

The Government Accountability Office, in a report issued earlier this week, said the state could have received almost double the $74.5 million it has been slated had the agency overseeing the program used a more fair formula.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency in December awarded $388 million that Congress authorized for disaster-housing alternatives to travel trailers and mobile homes.

Mississippi received $281.3 million or 73 percent of the award for two projects.

Louisiana got the $74.5 million to fund one project. The rest of the money went to Alabama and Texas.

There's absolutely NO reason for states to compete for federal resources. That's ridiculous. But Mr. Decider-in-Chief has CHOSEN to ignore the region. His half-assed crumb tossing is criminal negligence, which follows on the criminal negligence in not addressing the deteriorating levees in New Orleans.

The truth is that he can't be bothered with trifles like...the American people, because he's busily engaged in constructing grandiloquent paeans of congratulatory self-comparison to Abraham Lincoln if not God Almighty, basking in the delusion that somehow his destruction of civil society in Iraq and criminal negligence in the United States constitutes "being presidential."

My...Pet...Goat.

Contrast his bland bureaucratese about New Orleans--oh, it's so complicate...forms to fill out...with yet another example of how even the law can't get in Team Bush's way if they really, really want to do something...like torture people. Or compare their half-assed, sorry response along the Gulf Coast with Shrub's mad dash to DC when it was Terry Schiavo...a cynical attempt to throw a wingnuttia a bone to gnaw on.

I really believe the vast majority of American people find Team Bush's actions despicable and appalling--yet the media always manages to find time to uncritically present the most insane rantings from the Ed Rogers/Ann Coulter crowd, as if they represent anything more than a small minority of craven, vicious lunatics. It's gotta make you wonder.
