Yeah, let's waste some more time and money that we don't have.

So Bush wants to head an investigation into why federal response was, and apparently continues to be, so slow into New Orleans. Why? A 5-year-old could tell you why it was so slow. That's not a question that should be asked right now. The question that should be asked right now is, "what about the other places Katrina hit?" Places like Mississippi and the towns that were essentially obliterated off the face of the Earth after she went roaring through there.

Don't mistake this for a "who cares?" line of thinking here, either. New Orleans is important, but you're wasting a lot of shit that nobody has to conduct a completely bullshit investigation. Stop this crap, be a man and get more federal aid to New Orleans and Mississippi. You can wait a couple of months AFTER everything's been cleaned up before you play the whole good cop/bad cop routine.

You wanna know why everything's been so slow? Here's why: when was the last time Nawlin's was hit with a storm of this magnitude? 1969. The town is out of practice, and if you can't see that, you're dumber than I had originally given you credit for, which was pretty goddamn stupid. A storm comes rolling through, flooding a town that is already under sea-level as is kept afloat through a series of hard working levees and water pumps. Do the math, you stupid prick! I know your father invented fuzzy math, but for the love of all intelligent beings.

You should've had people just in waiting for when it hit, if not for the fact that weathermen were saying it's the worst hurricane in recent years, then for the fact that it would've just made common sense to have a huge group of National Guardsmen in waiting with boats and water and food and medical supplies. I mean, I know you're not an enviromentalist, Bush, but for fuck's sake, it wouldn't hurt you to LISTEN to people outside of your Cabinet. If anything, it'd be the smart thing to do.

And while it may be unfair to saddle the blame completely on you, it's going to happen. Not from me, but from other people, like dumbass celebrities who show up with a 40 person entourage that includes photographers and assistants. It's time for you to take control of the situation and be a leader. That town is a bed of corruption and laid-back-ness. The mayor didn't pull out the school buses during the mandatory evacuation, and instead elected to send them to the Superdome. That would've made sense had you not been able to get everyone out after the buses left.

I just touched up on the other thing about all this. All the celebrities who're complaining that Bush's administration isn't doing enough. If memory serves, I think 5 of you soulless fuckers have sent money, and 2 of those same 5 have actually gone to the city. But when that tsunami hit, holy shit were ya'll down there in abundance.

But I digress. Bush, stop pussy-footing around and just send aid. Visit the area all you want, but let's be honest, you can't do shit down there. You're not a law officer trained to deal with looter. You can fix the levees. What you should be doing is sitting in the Oval Office, sending as much aid as you can to New Orleans and Mississippi.
