This is just another drop in the big ol' "Bucket Of Hypocrisy". Search came up empty, and I figured someone may want this for their pile of Bushisms.
The LA Times is reporting on Bush's first leg of his "Just Say No To Violent Weather" tour that he denied he's staged photo ops in disaster areas.
WASHINGTON -- President Bush strapped on a tool belt today and pounded nails at a home-building project for Louisiana hurricane victims, as his administration announced new steps intended to improve the recovery effort.
Before starting his brief work shift, Bush verbally hammered critics who have accused him of staging politically motivated "photo ops" in the hurricane zone instead of staying in Washington and drafting a comprehensive recovery plan.
More after the break.

Following the TV interview, they joined other workers at the Habitat project. Bush donned a hard hat, work gloves and a big leather tool belt. A big hammer dangled from his side. The first lady wore a cloth nail pouch around her waist. After hammering a few nails into a sheet of plywood, the Bushes chatted, signed autographs and posed for photos with Habitat volunteers.
I feel for the man. It's obvious he's trying to get some real work done, but doggone it.....all them townies keep on a-askin' for autographs.
It's hard work.
