And now Newts and Foxes are snapping at the Bush

Even Republicans were criticizing Bush and his administration for the sluggish relief effort. "I think it puts into question all of the Homeland Security and Northern Command planning for the last four years, because if we can't respond faster than this to an event we saw coming across the Gulf for days, then why do we think we're prepared to respond to a nuclear or biological attack?" said former House Speaker Newt Gingrich.

In Biloxi, Miss., Bush encountered two weeping women on a street where a house had collapsed and towering trees were stripped of their branches. "My son needs clothes," said Bronwynne Bassier, 23, clutching several trash bags. "I don't have anything."

"I understand that," Bush said. He kissed both women on their heads and walked with his arms around them, telling them they could get help from the Salvation Army. "Hang in there," he said.

He kissed both women on their heads? You know, I shouldn't say anything about this, because if I do, this blog'll get flagged for threatening the president.

Asked later how the richest country on Earth could not meet the needs of its people, Bush said "I am satisfied with the response. I am not satisfied with all the results."

What?

"The people of this country expect there to be law and order, and we're going to work hard to get it," the president said. "In order to make sure there's less violence, we've got to get food to people."

Yeah, you know what else the people of this country expected (god knows why)? That you could be trusted to protect them, and help them when they were in need. Know what I think they're feeling now?

To use another of your funny, funny jokes, Mr. president:

"There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again." —President George W. Bush, Nashville, Tenn., Sept. 17, 2002

(Apparently it's just something about being in the state)

Above quotes from 1010wins.com

This is a truly remarkable video at Crooks and Liars. Shepard Smith and Geraldo Rivera were giving on-scene accounts on tonight's Hannity and Colmes. While the Dipwad Twins were trying to make sense of it from the Fox Studios, Smith and a crying Rivera were pleading for the food trucks to stop at the bridge at which they were stationed, along with "hundreds and hundreds" of refugees.

Hannity, having no real life experience to speak of, wanted to add some "perspective" - a Fox News buzzword for "Let's talk about the GOOD news!" - to the highly-charged and emotionally savaged on-scene description. That's when Smith simply unloaded on Hannity, shouting "THIS IS PERSPECTIVE! THIS IS PERSPECTIVE!"
