Bush takes charge. Oh dear
Unfortunately for the people of the devastated city of New Orleans, Hurricane Katrina was only just the beginning of their woes. As if official neglect, looting, sharp shooting State Troopers and disease pandemics are not enough, now George W Bush is threatening to head up the inquiry into what went wrong.

Contrary to what Tony Blair may say, and regardless of his ideology, I believe that Dubya is an imbecile of the highest magnitude and appears barely capable of stringing two words together, let alone heading up a complex inquiry like this.

Of course, it is a shrewd political move on his part. (He was probably told to do it.) I guess the best way to divert any blame away from your administration is to head up the inquiry yourself.
