Bob has long since lost any credibility. When he made it a personal thing
toward Bush and anyone who doesn't also hate him, Bob no longer participated in
debate. He has been in attack mode for the last 5 years.

He's now going on about how Dick Cheney hasn't said anything publicly about
Katrina. I have no idea why it is important for Bob to hear Cheney say anything
about the disaster. Bob would only attack him for not saying enough, or the
right thing.

Bob is looking for anything to attack the administration on. First, it's that
Bush cut funding for levee refurbishment. Now it's how slow the federal
government has been to respond. Funny, if you ask anyone with the local. state
and federal emergency agencies about what to expect after a disaster, they will
tell you that to have enough food and bottled water and medical supplies to
last a week, because it may take that long for emergency agencies to get the
logistics set up. Now, all you hear is that FEMA should have been there Monday
morning.
