Bush Desperate

I know there will be an independent Katrina Commission. You know there will be an independent Katrina Commission. And in his heart the President knows it too. So why does Bush risk make his already tenuous political position on this untenable by trying to sweep this under the carpet and head up the investigation himself. On top of that, his political hack Tom Delay is trying to shut down House committee hearings. There can be only one explanation: a desperate attempt to cover up his own culpability.

Bush spent the entire weekend attempting to shift blame to local and state officials. Sadly for him the story was not how these people were at fault, but that the Bush spin machine was working full tilt. The smear tactics of the Bush administration have finally failed. At the same time they were shoveling blame upon others, these same people threw up the defensive blocks, “Let’s not play the blame game.” Remember, it’s not a game if only one side is allowed to play.

To have Bush head this up is to put the fox in charge of the investigation about who left the chicken coop door open, and it will not fly. The Dunce in Chief is running scared if he thinks the world will accept this. If these feeble efforts to dodge accountability continue, you can be assured that all that shit flowing out of New Orleans will head directly to a fan on Capitol Hill.
