At times, he seemed distracted from his ostensible purpose. At the National Hurricane Center, where he hoped to show that the government is now better prepared than when Katrina devastated New Orleans last year, Bush noted that the peak of hurricane season ends in September, only to be corrected by the center's director, who said it ends in October.
No banana for you, Chimpy.
Aides decided not to cancel the trip despite the dramatic developments in the Middle East because they view it as unhealthy to allow the presidency to be consumed by a single issue. But the contrast at times appeared jarring. Bush shared a crab dinner Sunday night with actor Andy Garcia, Miami Dolphins legend Dan Marino and other former football players. And a White House handout on Monday's events was headlined "A Day in Miami," giving the impression of a relaxed summer jaunt.
Consumed by one single issue? He can't wrap his feeble brain around any ONE thing, much less two. While the world burns, he goes for a relaxed summer jaunt. What an asswipe of a leader he is.
