Bush Declares Evacuation Victory -- Cindy Sheehan has left Crawford


George W. Bush, who spent two days last week using military people as
backdrops for his photo-ops in his war against weepy mothers, won the
public relations battle that occupied him Tuesday and Wednesday. Cindy
Sheehan surrendered to the high-priority blitz staged by the president
who utilized triple the costs he had spent for saving New Orleans
drowning citizens on the same Tuesday and Wednesday. Soldiers and
sailors stood around on Tuesday-Wedneday instead of mobilizing to help
anybody other than Bush himself.



 So anyway, here's my inspired five point plan to wage war against this
disaster:


   1. Publicly restate the obvious.
   2. Get my ass and a phalanx of photogs within inches of the
Louisiana Stenchzone so that I can survey the brutal damage and
humanity up close - but not so close that my dress shoes get scuffed.
   3. Briefly struggle to empathize with the suffering of the victims,
then give up, grit teeth, and find my special strong, silent "John
Wayne" place. Hang loose there for a while.
   4. Sell out the Federal disaster response agencies and bean counters
I had four years to streamline. And by streamline, I mean "Play Three
Card Monte With Billions."
   5. Pray. Pray that folk will forget this teeny widdle environmental
disaster toot sweet, and pray that we find more imaginary dinosaur bone
sludge that we can whip into vroom juice.
