The NWS published this SUNDAY, 8/28/05. Then Bush went to eat cake.

If any Bush cultist has the gall to still support this man, remind them that this is what our National Weather Service posted on Sunday, August 28. The next day, our President flew to Arizona to eat cake with John McCain and hawk his Medicare plan. He didn't ask a single question about Katrina.

Warnings don't get more dire than that!

:o

Every warning got more dire. We begged our DU friends to leave town. EVERYONE knew, including Bush. And he could give a shit. Off he went, campaigning for Medicare and schmoozing his donors in San Diego.

But even in Maine the big story on the radio was the approaching hurricane...

something now, can you?

Besides, he had some fund raising to do and a birthday party to attend. What could be more important?

What a sorry excuse for a human being.
