Sex, Lies, and Videotape

Oops...no sex. I guess that's why our mass media moguls just can't seem to get themselves worked up over the endless stream of lies and fuckups issuing from the sewer that is the Bush administration. The levees of outrage should have been breached long ago, but our SCLM keeps sticking its fingers (and other body parts) in the leaks to keep the raw truth from the American public. Every once in a while, however, they run out of digits and a little bit of it seeps through.

White House Briefing -- News on President George W Bush and the Bush Administration

A newly leaked video from Aug. 28 shows President Bush sitting passively as he is briefed on the killer storm heading directly for the Gulf Coast. Senior officials voice dire predictions including the distinct possibility of severe flooding in New Orleans.

He asks no questions. And when he spoke it was to offer what turned out be unfounded assurances:

"I want to assure the folks at the state level that we are fully
prepared to not only help you during the storm, but we will move in
whatever assets and resources we have at our disposal after the storm
to help you deal with the loss of property, and we pray for no loss of
life, of course."

But the fraudulence of Bush's words, of course,
was caught on tape as well, in the now-familiar but still searing
images of thousands of New Orleans residents stranded for days on
rooftops or hellish disaster shelters. Not to mention those who died
waiting for help that never came.
