Not his fault ...

I fear the Republican spinners will convince enough die hard dubya followers that none of this nasty hurricane business was his fault and take on the attitude... Oh well, life goes on.

When discussing the FEMA screw ups with my VERY Republican 80 year old mother, she was surprised when I suggested Bush should be held accountable. She was appalled I would even think such a thing. In fact she said to me, in total disgust, "What can he do about it?"

She was serious... bless her heart.

Always a glutton for punishment, I further suggested a good start would be to fire Michael Brown and begin a full investigation. She just shook her head and made "that" face. We changed the subject. She's not the only one defending him. Those with their heads in the sand will allow yet another disaster in the Bush presidency to be accepted, no questions asked.

A dear cousin likes to remind me from time to time that it's a bitch you can pick your friends but not your relatives!

I do love my mother but hate her politics.
