Smoldering Bazooka

Throughout his time in office, George Bush has been able to continually sidestep political landmines without losing the zealous support of his conservative base. Today, it appears that the lies have caught up and that even his most ardent followers should have a hard time denying the cracks in the president's levee of legitimacy.

It seems that the president was less than honest (gasp!) when he proclaimed that no person or agency alerted him to the severity of Hurricane Katrina and its potential wrath on New Orleans. In fact, we now know that Michael "Heckofa Job" Brown may not be the incompetent dolt that the administration painted him to be. Video has surfaced of the oft-vilified former FEMA chief speaking in a briefing WITH THE PRESIDENT the day before Katrina made landfall. Some fun quotes:

· On the severity of the storm: "My gut tells me ... this is a bad one and a big one."
· On the government's preparedness: "I'm concerned about ... the ability to respond to a catastrophe within a catastrophe."
· On the proposed emergency evacuation center: "The Superdome is about 12 feet below sea level.... I don't know whether the roof is designed to withstand a Category Five hurricane."
· On the city's resources in case of worst-case scenarios: "Not to be…kind of gross here, but I'm concerned [about the medical and mortuary resources] and their ability to respond to a catastrophe within a catastrophe."

Wow, maybe Brownie actually was doing a good job. Who knew that his Arabian horse experience had prepared him so well?

Not surprisingly, the Bush administration is trying to downplay the VIDEO EVIDENCE that proves they are all lying sacks of jism:

· Homeland Security spokesman Russ Knocke: "There's nothing new or insightful on these tapes."

· Bush spokesman Trent Duffy: "I hope people don't draw conclusions from the president getting a single briefing."
· White House press secretary Scott McClellan: "I had a hurricane in New Orleans once. Oh man, I was on Bourbon Street and I was all fucked up and this chick was flashing her tits and it was AWESOME! Why does everyone look so worried?"

I know the man is very appealing to the millions of Americans whose faith is the single most important thing in their lives – and I truly respect faith, even when I don't share it – but who can continue to support this revolting president and his travashamockery of an administration? Today's video is more than a smoking gun; it is definitive proof that our president is a liar, a douche bag and (dare I make the accusation?) a bad Christian.
