The White House has turned to its most popular performer in an effort to rebuff criticism of its handling of Hurricane Katrina.

Laura Bush, the normally mildly spoken First Lady, is defending her husband in defiant terms - describing some of the criticism of President George W Bush as "disgusting".

Her remarks came as Mr Bush's attempt to defuse public anger by replacing the man in charge of the recovery operation appeared to have fallen flat. Although Michael Brown, the director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, was recalled to Washington, he was not sacked from his job - and President Bush's approval ratings continues to hover at an all-time low.

Are they really sure this is who they want to send out to put a good face on the administration's response? The woman who is so disconnected from the average American that she didn't even know the NAME of the hurricane? Really? Her? (She called it Hurricane Corinna twice in a recent interview).

This article is a good read. It references how our shameless President, in an attempt to bolster his historically-low approval ratings, has invoked the dead of 9/11 AGAIN for political gain and how his minions, who vis-a-vis their "talking points" claim to refuse to play the "blame game," continue to heap blame on state and local politicians.
