Truly Astonishing

Turns out that when President Bush said "I don't think anybody anticipated the breach of the levees" in New Orleans following Katrina, he had forgotten the briefing he received BEFORE the hurricane struck that specifically referred to the danger of the levees breaching. Though, to be fair, perhaps the President was asleep, since he didn't bother to ask any questions. In response to the recently-released tapes, the latest damning evidence of the Bush Administration's penchant for incompetence and mendacity, a Homeland Security spokesdrone said, "There's nothing new or insightful on these tapes." And on that, we are in agreement.
