"America is Under Attack"

That's what Andrew Card whispered to President Bush just after the second plane hit the World Trade Center. I had forgotten this point, until it was repeated today at the 9.11 hearings on the Hill (I just watched ABC News). America is under attack, and the president continues reading a children's book.

Also restated in the hearing today was that on the way to the airport, after having finished his children's book, Bush tells Cheney "Sounds like we have a minor war going on here." A minor war? When I heard the news I was wondering if the Russians or the Chinese were invading, and this guy was wondering if we had a minor war?

Again, these are things I'd forgotten about, and only were brought up again in today's hearing. But they're still so damn infuriating, and are evidence of how NOT a leader this president is. America is under attack, and you read a children's book. The entire world is on alert for WWIII, and you interpret it as a "minor war."

Get rid of this man, and even more importantly, it's high time OUR side in the debate started reminding folks of how poorly this man actually fared when the shit hit the fan. Just imagine what they'd have done to Clinton if he'd done all of this.
