After his presidency, George Bush wants to help Gulf Coast area
Junior, you are much better suited to geetar strummin' and cake eatin'. Just go away, already.

:wtf:

"WASHINGTON -- Outgoing President George W. Bush is willing to explore ways he could help with Gulf Coast recovery after he leaves office. This information comes not from his staff, but from Donna Brazile, the Kenner native who ran Al Gore's 2000 Democratic presidential campaign that Bush ultimately won.

Brazile, speaking on ABC's "This Week" on Sunday, said she met with the president two weeks ago because she wanted to put a bookend on the administrations response to Hurricane Katrina.

"I wanted to talk about the future and how he can continue to be involved," Brazile said.

Asked if the president expressed any interest in her suggestion, Brazile said "very much so."

Bush last week largely defended his administration's response to Katrina, saying that Coast Guard and federal troops acted quickly, pulling more than 30,000 people off rooftops in the days following the hurricane..."

1. The Bush rescue
Bush didn't fly in to the airport because he said it would cause a distraction. So unable to load Air Force One with survivors to be sent to other states, he stayed home & kept his mouth shut - as to not cause a distraction.

Bush help in Katrina? That would be like OJ finding Nicoles murderer!!!

2. Yeah, sure, right...........
A natural follow-up to the wonderful help and support he delivered while he was still President.

If Donna Brazile believed that lying, delusional shithead, she's as goofy as he is.
