You've Gotta be Freakin Kidding Me

Via CaLibertarian in the open thread, someone please tell me this is satire:

US First Lady Laura Bush accused Myanmar's military rulers Monday of failing to warn their citizens in time about a killer cyclone and pressed the junta to accept US aid in the disaster's wake. "Although they were aware of the threat, Burma's state-run media failed to issue a timely warning to citizens in the storm's path," Bush said in an unusual appearance at the White House briefing room podium.

I'll skip the obvious pot & kettle dig here over the Bush Administration's staggering, deadly incompetence before, during, and after Hurricane Katrina, put partisanship aside, and only wonder in embarrassment on behalf of the nation I love: what lowlife, imbecilic White House PR slug intentionally sent the First Lady out into the international public spotlight dressed only in this painful irony?
