For those of you who believe that President Bush isn't doing enough to help the victims of Katrina, I urge you to consider the fact that he sent his boss to tour the affected region. And while there's so much worth discussing about Sneer Cheney's trip to Mississippi -- his assessment that the recovery effort is "very impressive," for example -- I'll settle for excerpting the below from the AP piece:

While Cheney spoke, a passer-by hurled an expletive at the vice president. "First time I've heard it," Cheney said, when asked if he was hearing a lot of such sentiments.

Most of the people Cheney met with were friendly. Lynne Lofton, whose house further down the street was completely destroyed, was an exception.

"I think this media opportunity today is a terrible waste of time and taxpayer money," she said. "They've picked a nice neighborhood where people have insurance and most are Republicans."

First off, if today was the first time Cheney's heard himself referred to as an asshole, he's obviously not listening very hard. Second, why the fuck isn't the DNC drafting Lynne Lofton?


Vice President Dick Cheney, in a sensible blue oxford cloth shirt above, has his sleeves rolled-up and a pen a paper at the ready should any work need to be done. Thank God none does.
