Mint Juleps

Bush's PR flacks apparently aren't doing their job well, as they've allowed him to speak on his own, with disastrous results. Here's a blurb from a recent CNN.com article:

...Bush looked different Monday than the man who visited New Orleans on September 2 and fondly recalled his wild nights in the French Quarter. Or the man who sought to cheer homeless storm victims in Mississippi by sharing his hopes to join Sen. Trent Lott on the front porch of his "fantastic" new waterfront house. Or the man who turned to embattled FEMA Director Michael Brown in the early days after the storm and said, "Brownie, you're doing a heck of a job."

Yeah, I bet the poor and newly homeless folks in Biloxi are looking forward to sipping mint juleps with Senator Lott at his newly reconstructed mansion. Folks with no money, no house, no job, and no car are glad to know that the Senator will get a new house. Smooth.
