Will the Bush Presidency be a Katrina Fatality

I think you're wrong. I think there's going to be a time a few years down the road when his talking over a bullhorn at ground zero will be replaced by the awful endless war he sidetracked us into. It won't truly look like Vietnam until after W is out of office, but I think that's where it's headed. And bit by bit, though maybe not until I have grandchildren, official secrets will come out of how they approved of torture, how in a million small ways they encouraged and engaged in election fraud, (especially how they worked to disenfranchise blacks).

I also think there's going to be a groundswell of anger and revulsion as the bodies are uncovered and the stories of survivors begin to come out. As a true timeline is established, how and when people died at the very moment Homeland security was saying the didn't need the Red Cross for instance...

Ah screw it, Kev. I don't really think any of these things. I only hope them. I think America will turn away again, tired of the story, especially the ongoing story of Homelless New Orlenians with nowhere to go. I think the Republicans will start there "What went right and what went wrong" investigation and conveniently end up abandoning it after the 'what went right' part, just before midterms. Corrupt incumbents will get re-elected and the whole fucking cycle will go on. I don't know why. I don't know why such a huge number of Americans vote against their interests and swallow lies like candy coated raisins. It depresses the fuck out of me.
