Since I didn't have the energy to live blog this man any more

I direct you to Wonkette--who is funnier than me anyway.

Wonkette - liveblogging. Some highlights:

"9:02 PM My that was a long walk.
9:04 PM 'A wasteful storm' as opposed to productive ones he's so fond of. Also, 'we' saw 'dead bodies lying in the street': Good thing they put together that DVD for him.
9:06 PM He's more wooden than ever. He only looks comfortable when talking about how powerful America is. He's like a national Viagra commercial. 'If your patriotism should last longer than four hours....'
[snip]
9:08 PM He's totally tripping over words. Also? Giving out the phone number? It's SO the detail thing a President shouldn't have to do. He sounds like Lionel Hutz. 'Free set of knives if you act now.'
[snip]
9:14 PM 'As all of us saw on television, there is deep and persistent poverty in the region as well.' Again: THANK GOD FOR THE DVD VERSION, or else our filter-averse CoC would have thought everyone in the Gulf was just waiting to sit on Trent Lott's porch.
[snip]
9:17 PM A correspondent writes: 'He acknowledged that there are poor black people, AND that that's a bad thing. And it can be solved by lowering their wages, naturally.'
9:19 PM 'Good people wanting to make a difference, deployed to the Gulf Coast'.... five days too late.
[snip]
9:22 PM Scout troops! That's who Brownie should have called! The missing link!! Just NO gays
9:22 PM So the reason it was so bad was that it was not a 'normal hurricane.' Discuss: What is a 'normal hurricane'? A 'normal' disaster response?
9:22 PM Getting DHS involved. He's so totally bombing the next hurricane.
9:25 PM Another correspondent writes: 'Sure, Let's fix this fuckup by having the fucked up agency investigate it.'
[snip]
9:26 PM Oh no. No, please no. He didn't just reference the fact that black people are optimistic and have a sense of rhythm, did he? Oh, sorry, that's 'jazz musicians.'
9:27 PM Cue dixieland band.
9:28 PM Asshole."


The viagra comment was just too damn funny. I also like the assumption that lowering wages will really help with poverty.

Humor is really more fun than rage! :)
