NERO FIDDLED -- BUSH STRUMMED A GUITAR

Captcapm10208301856bush__capm102
This photo is an affront to our collective conscience and humanity. It epitomizes how callous and out of touch -- sociopathic -- this man is.

While millions of Americans have lost their homes or lives in the devastation wrought by hurricane Katrina, Bush not only goes about business as usual, he plays the guitar.

It's one thing for Bush to strum the guitar as America is literally ripped apart; it's another for the press to applaud.

Exactly! I couldn't have described this photo better.

Bush Strums while New Orleans Sinks.

Again he refuses to take action when disaster strikes. Whether it's reading My Pet Goat or pretending to play guitar, this is Mr LetThemDie.

Love the presidential seal on the guitar. Another unscripted photo op from El Kabong.

Why do I get the feeling he's playing Katrina & The Waves' "Walking on Sunshine"?

"Last time I played one of these suckers, I was stoned out of my gizzards! I remember it well...I hadn't met Laura yet, I was on the lam from the National Guard, and workin' to fix this guy's election down there in Alabamee. Yeah, them was the days!"

"Look closely - I'm giving the finger to all you f@@%@ing librals - heh,heh,heh"

Figures - he is playing a classic "G" chord, but up one fret too high. As usual, he's in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Go to Yahoo and recommend the photo to others http://news.yahoo.com/photo/050830/480/capm10208301856#
