". . .This just brings back to my mind the completely nonsensical artifice that characterized the administration’s response to Hurricane Katrina. It dredged up memories of George Bush grounding rescue choppers while people in NOLA were drowning and he was getting his faux briefing from Brownie and food and water drops. It made me recall the food tables that were broken down and aid workers taken as Bush walked away and the lights going out in New Orleans after Bush’s speech and getting back on AF One. It forced me to remember Laura Bush commandeering a Red Cross aid station for eight hours that was trying to revise its website to tell flood victims where to go for help so she could hand out one loaf of bread to seven carefully-screened people for the cameras. It makes me think of George Bush’s Thanksgiving turkey to the troops in Iraq that couldn’t even be real (it was made of plastic). And how can one forget the cranes that were busily rebuilding the levees in New Orleans, knowing that George Bush would flying overhead that, one day later, according to Sen. Mary Landrieu, had turned into one?

The superficiality of this administration is the most profound on record. It’s all smoke, mirrors and shadows without the least iota of substance whatsoever. It’s an administration that survives on appearances and expects us to subsist on the same. It’s a government that cannot possibly even contemplate the possibility of practicing what they preach for even the moments it takes to drive a few blocks. . "
