Burnt Orange Report

Kelso: Funny, Sadly.

By Karl-Thomas Musselman

John Kelso with some lines that could hurt your sides and your heart.

I think it's pretty darned funny that George W. Bush intends to head an investigation of the slow response to Hurricane Katrina to see who screwed up.

That would be like picking Hugh Hefner to head a blue ribbon committee to look into why there are so many pictures of nekkid women in Playboy.

...

Maybe the reason Bush was so slow to react to the damage is that it took him a few days to round up enough National Guard troops to stand behind him for the photo op.

You've got to wonder why the Bush administration hired Mike Brown, the former commissioner of the International Arabian Horse Association, to head up the Federal Emergency Management Agency. I'm guessing it's because there was nobody available at the Westminster Kennel Club.

Meanwhile, as Rome burned, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice showed her concern by shopping for shoes at Ferragamo on Fifth Avenue.

So, while New Orleans was trying to dry out by operating the pumps, Rice was trying on the pumps. Swell.
