But mostly dangerous

During a conversation with House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) at the White House, President Bush allegedly demonstrated that he was, in Pelosi's words, "oblivious" to the federal government's failures in responding to the threat and subsequent destruction caused by Hurricane Katrina.

PELOSI: When I said to the president that he should fire Michael Brown, he said, "Why would I do that?" I said, "Because of all that went wrong, with all that didn't go right last week." And he said, "What didn't go right?" Oblivious, in denial, dangerous.

To my mind, what she was really being told is "You, Minority Leader, just don't matter, because we hold all the cards." If this administration is in denial about anything, it is that the cracks in their perverse vision of America have begun to appear. It was more than a levee along the Mississippi that gave way last week.
