Where's George?

Stung by criticism and questions about "where's George?" George W. Bush, finally got off his duff, or rather into the air, for a 35 minute fly-over of hurricane damage. He should have come alive Sunday before land fall and Monday/Tuesday. But, not George W. Bush.

We have the best equipped military in the world. We have a massive homeland defense agency. But we are only now beginning to see the Coast Guard presence increased. If we cannot expect faster action in such dire circumstances, what's the purpose of a Defense Dept or Dept. of Homeland Security?

While Bush fumbles, people have died and are likely still dying. Perhaps a million people are homeless. New Orleans will be uninhabitable for months. This is clearly the worst disaster ever to hit the US. And we have a failure of leadership once again. We have theocracy for Iraq, a constitution selling women short there, and insufficient protection at home once again. I'm not holding my breath for Bush's belated photo-op, pretend press conference. When will the Bush administration get it's act together?
