Newsweek writes an article about Bush that scares the shit out of me!

Bush can be petulant about dissent; he equates disagreement with disloyalty. After five years in office, he is surrounded largely by people who agree with him. Bush can ask tough questions, but it's mostly a one-way street. Most presidents keep a devil's advocate around. Lyndon Johnson had George Ball on Vietnam; President Ronald Reagan and Bush's father, George H.W. Bush, grudgingly listened to the arguments of Budget Director Richard Darman, who told them what they didn't wish to hear: that they would have to raise taxes. When Hurricane Katrina struck, it appears there was no one to tell President Bush the plain truth: that the state and local governments had been overwhelmed, that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) was not up to the job and that the military, the only institution with the resources to cope, couldn't act without a declaration from the president overriding all other authority.

Just when I think that I have learned the worst possible news concerning this president I then learn something that makes everything else seem quaint by comparison.

How is it possible that this asshole was not glued to the television like every other American in the country? I cried and cried and wished there was something, anything, that I could do to help those poor people!

This moron could have saved thousands of lives with a fucking phonecall! A phonecall! Pathetic excuse for a president!
