You Just Don't Get It

In the New York Post today, Steve Dunleavy writes: "Radio North Korea ... I mean National Public Radio ... made you believe that it was all Bush's fault because he didn't put up his hand and say, 'Hurricane, go away.'"

Well, no. You can't make a hurricane go away. That would be silly. So it's a good thing Bush didn't say that.

Of course, Bush also didn't say, "Gee, this looks like a big one. Maybe we should put some emergency management personnel on alert, just in case."

Bush also didn't say, "You mean it's two days later and none of our guys are even there yet? What the ----, Brownie?"

Bush also didn't say, "Gosh, we're screwing this up big time. Maybe I should get my ass off the Barcalounger and head back to Washington."

But Bush did express deep concern over the loss of Trent Lott's home. One of them.
