I'm somehow reminded of Al Gore flying people out of the Katrina disaster areas while Bush enjoyed cake with McCain and strummed his gee-tar. Bush likes to thump his chest from the safety of home while others get on planes and handle shit.

Bush told reporters at his Texas ranch that Russian President Dmitry Medvedev's signing of a cease-fire plan with Georgia was "a hopeful step." But Russia's vision of Georgia without the provinces of South Ossetia and Abkhazia was a nonstarter, the president said.
At the request of Saakshvili, Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Joe Biden, D-Del., scheduled a trip to Georgia this weekend for meetings with government officials as well as citizens forced to flee their homes.
