What planet is this man living on?
There isn't one comment that comes out of George W. Bush's mouth, on any subject, that passes reality testing. But his comments on his and the U.S. government's efforts to help rebuild the gulf region and its residents post-Katrina are particularly cruel and ironic.

Flood Washington, Not Our Coast - Protect Louisiana's Wetlands and Communities
On September 15th 2005, the President pledged to rebuild the Gulf Coast and do whatever it takes to make New Orleans and South Louisiana rise again.
The first step in any serious revitalization effort is a commitment to honest and effective storm protection for our communities and a vibrant and restored coast. Each day that passes without a federal commitment to Louisiana's coast and communities prolongs this tragedy. Please take a moment to remind the President of his pledge and urge your friends to do the same.
With over 300,000 Louisianans displaced, we want to flood Washington with an e-mail for each of them.
If you're in the neighborhood (and the neighborhood is just as close as a webcast), catch the Flood Washington Fest (featuring Anders Osborne, Country Fried, and Mostly Rhonda), Thursday, August 31, 2006. [Webcast begins 9:00 p.m., CT]

I don't no nothing about Katrina.
What I do know is - pertaining to Iraq - out of the whole interview, the biggest flaming lie has gone almost unnoticed in the press.
