Bush's legacy of failure following Katrina lives on. Bush never showed the leadership necessary to deal with this crisis. Now, they're Katricians:
When the "Katricians" rise up in violence, Houstonians had better be packing some serious heat.Heckuva job, Bushie. Don't think that Bush is not ultimately responsible for this mess. This was a national disaster. It's part of the pattern of the Bush presidency. Talk and photo ops, but no action.
That's the inflammatory message of a new gun-shop commercial on the radio that gives Hurricane Katrina evacuees a vaguely alien-sounding name, and advises Texans to take up arms to defend themselves against crimes committed by the newcomers.
"When the 'Katricians' themselves are quoted as saying the crime rate is gonna go up if they don't get more free rent, then it's time to get your concealed-handgun license," warns the radio ad by Jim Pruett, who co-hosts a bombastic talk-radio show and owns Jim Pruett's Guns & Ammo, a self-styled "anti-terrorist headquarters" that sells knives, shotguns, semi-automatic rifles and other weapons. As Pruett describes the dangers posed by "Katricians," glass can be heard shattering, and a bell tolling ominously.
