"Incompetence is bad enough; not taking responsibility for it is shameful. Blaming it on others is a national disgrace."*

George W. Bush: "Oblivious. In Denial. Dangerous."

(*from an editorial in the Minneapolis-St. Paul Star Tribune)



And speaking of disgraces:

"I mean, you have people who don't heed those warnings and then put people at risk as a result of not heeding those warnings. There may be a need, candidly, to look at tougher penalties on those who decide to ride it out and understand that there are consequences to not leaving."

- Sen. Rick Santorum, R-Pa




And then there's this chucklehead:

"I understand there are 10,000 people dead. It's terrible. It's tragic. But in a democracy of 300 million people, over years and years and years, these things happen."
