even republicans can't defend bush's nonsense

Cao Disputes Bush’s Comment That Not Landing Air Force One Was His Biggest Mistake During Katrina
(Think Progress)
---
I found it pretty damn incredible that of everything regarding Katrina, bush went on & on about landing Air Force One in New Orleans instead of flying over! Who ever - ever - suggested that he should have done that? Everyone suggested that he should have had qualified people running the emergency rescue teams and that he should have gotten off of his ass and his vacation before almost a week after the storm hit, but landing his plane in a disaster area was never suggested by any sane person.

Of course, the only thing he could say that was done right regarding Katrina was the Coast Guard rescues, which had nothing to do with bush or the federal response.

He just sounds like a crazy person when he rants about these straw men...
