Here’s a quote from a 9/23 article in the New York Times titled: "After Katrina’s Lesson, Bush is heading to Texas".

Mr. Bush, who was photographed strumming a guitar in San Diego on the morning that New Orleans was being flooded 23 days ago, appeared intent on ensuring there would be no off-message pictures this time and no question of where his attention was focused.

Hm. Media bias? Journalist Richard Stevenson sure doesn’t make it seem like Bush is serious about, well, anything in this paragraph. As a reader and Democrat, I read this with a snicker and a roll of the eyes thinking ‘why should I expect anything else?’ But I do this in my cool and dry apartment in New Jersey. If I was a displaced person from Katrina, and now Rita, I would be very angry.
