His callous indifference to the suffering of others was on display when he mocked a woman on death row when she pleaded for mercy.
He has continued to display that trait in his treatment of the dead and injured soldiers in a war he initiated.
He has now topped it all by playing banjo when two entire cities are fighting for their breath.
I cannot think of any expression in our language that can do justice to his cruel narcissism.
His moral authority that derived from the high office he holds is gone.
Now I understand why he does not want to face Cindy.He does not have any empathy for the suffering of others, whether they be in Fallujah or New Orleans or Biloxi.
He is a wretched soul deserving of all of our contempt.
Just read the most amazing diark…over there…

It is time to step up for your country and your city, “Young White Women”.
Everyone knows that the media and the population will only get involved and therefore push the government to get involved in any serious rescue attempts if they are given the face of a “Young White Woman” to identify with.
Therefore I am proposing that 100 “Young White Women” be airlifted onto rooftops in New Orleans and then videotaped being rescued by boat and helicopter. Perhaps then the country will demand that the federal government speed a thousand helicopters to the scene to rescue the rest of those on their roofs and the seal up the levee and stop the inevitable flooding of the rest of the city.
If the “Young White Women” can bring a small dog or perhaps be a minor celebrity that would be even better.
Sadly the thought police are already in action trying to stifle dissent against Bush… “Partisan Coalition” is a pathetic joke.
What a poor excuse for a human being. What a f’ing embarrasment to our country. Look in his eyes they are empty, he has no soul.
He is totally devoid of the capacity for compassion and empathy for his fellow man. We’ve known that for a while. It never gets any easier to watch. My only hope is that millions of people in our country who are (finally) beginning to pay attention will notice what a despicable, spoiled, uncaring, self-important sociopath he is.
In recent weeks and months,the La governor has been unable to coax him to survey all the lost wetlands on the gulf coast that are some protection against major storm surges. Why should he… he cut funding to preserve them so his ‘base’ could have tax cuts… and so he could make war so his cronies could make billions. Now, he can’t wait to go and is driving them crazy wanting his planeride and photo ops. What will he do, stand on a debris pile with a bullhorn and talk to all the dead bodies?
why can’t other people? How do all those Republicans deal with the fact that their man is a psychopath?
Yesterday I parked my car next to a huge SUV with a W sticker. While they are increasingly rare these days, they are still around. The driver was sitting in it – a 60 something woman. I just wanted to ask her, “why?” I mean what goes on in these people’s minds? You look in their eyes sometimes and you see the same vacancy there that Bush has. This culture breeds psychopaths. There are damaged, incomplete people walking around this country in epidemic proportions.
Well she can now pay $3.19 to fill that sucker up. Obviously she doesn’t worry about paying for food, shelter and prescriptions she has health care.
But be careful of those Hummers with W stickers on em. One owener of one, a young guy, wanted to fly off at me in a store. I seriously thought I was going to get hit that day. Why?
I noticed his Hummer with W sticker in the lot. Who could have missed it – ya know. And he’s in the store going on and on about how it’s THE ulitmate emergency vehicle in case of a disaster/emergency.
Some cusotmer in line asked “but what about traffic blocked…?” The man replied that he’d just run over anyone who got in his way.
I turned and faced him and said, typical Republican response.
The man turned beat red with rage.
Would’ve been interesting to see what would’ve happened if you asked him why he wasn’t driving one in Iraq for the army…
