Forgive me if this sort of thing has been posted before, but I just received a missive from an uncle who is normally free-thinking but seems to have quaffed some of the Kool-Aid on this one. He's passed around an email describing how all the state and locals failed to heed Bush's strong leadership before Katrina even hit.
He's a geologist working in Midland, Texas for Schlumberger - oil, Texas tea - and once, long ago, found himself in a jogging unit with a young scion of a prominent oil family named George W. Bush. Also undressed with him (to change, for shame!) afterwards in the locker room, so now jokes he's seen a living President naked. I don't know if that explains why he's very protective of Bush here, where he hasn't been in the past.
If you've seen this and its debunking before (in digest form), please let me know. If this has been covered copiously (in digest form) on dKos before, please ignore!
Thanks!
