"The Katrina videotape is defining for Bush's presidency. It exposes a deaf man spouting talking points. After the hurricane hit, he stayed on vacation, went to a birthday party, strummed a guitar with a country and western singer, and on September 1 said: "I don't think anybody anticipated the breach of the levees." On his flight back to Washington, four days after landfall, his aides gave him a DVD of television news reports of the hurricane's impact about which he had done nothing to learn on his own."
In an interesting article about George Bush by Sidney Blumenthal in The Guardian, he catalogues how and where Bush has become derailed - and how that fact is being played out in the US. Blumenthal certainly highlights a totally disfunctional President. Remember the scene in Mike Moore's doco Fahrenheit 9/11 showing George Bush sitting there for a full 7 minutes at a kindergarten, doing absolutely nothing, when told of the attacks on the World Trade Centre?
