Gee, Go Figure

Team Bush fucked up the mortgage assistance program.

Actually, you know what it really sounds like? The Road Home Program. Good morning America, how are you--and our fate IS your fate yet again:

The three-year program was supposed to help 400,000 borrowers avoid foreclosure. But it has attracted only 312 applications since its October launch because it is too expensive and onerous for lenders and borrowers alike, Preston said in an interview.

But, you know, if you think about it, this administration is anything BUT The Three Stooges when it comes to heaping dollars by the billions into THEIR troughs. That's what genuinely infuriating about the whole sordid mess. Bush's incompetence and venality is SELECTIVE. Connected fat cats get four star service. Everyone else has to take a number and listen to a lame excuse--usually one invoking bureaucratic arcana.

Residents of New Orleans are all too familar with that--and now the rest of the country's going to get the same.

Except for the well-connected, who wouldn't stand for that for a second.
