I bet they didn't tell Bush on Monday night because he was at a fundraiser [View All]

I think Michael Brown called Hagin whereever he was, Crawford or San Diego, and I think they videoconferenced to whoever was still left at the WH, and Rove was in and out of the room at one of those locations, and all these second bananas decided not to tell Bush that the levee had broken because he had a fundraiser to attend that night that was more important than the people of New Orleans, or, worse, they did tell Bush and he was not moved enough to forget his fundraiser and get on top of things. And I am sort of idly wondering where Abramoff was that night, although probably the fundraiser was mainly for west coast fatcats.

So I think fundraising was more important to Bush & Rove than trying to save lives in an epic natural disaster.
