South Korea's Prime Minister Lee Hae-chan has resigned for playing golf when he was supposed to be dealing with a national railway strike.
Honor is so much more important in other countries. George W. Bush and Dick Cheney refused to leave their vacations of golfing and fly fishing while thousands were in danger in New Orleans. Why haven't they done the honorable thing??

1. For how many reasons would you like Bush and Cheney to resign, be impeached, or imprisoned?
2. How many of these reasons would have applied also to Clinton, but went un-articulated by you?
3. If Bush had managed to revamp FEMA so that it overcame all the decades of local neglect (and local mismanagement in this case), managed to reduce its decades-old response rate of 7 days and behaved better than it did under Clinton and Carter (instead of exactly as it did under those birds), and done so while Bush played golf, would you still want him to resign for this?
4. Are you aware that FEMA's response was to Katrina was identical (in conduct and speed) to all previous responses under both Bushes, Clinton, and Carter?

At least four. Maybe five...
2. How many of these reasons would have applied also to Clinton, but went un-articulated by you?
Well, Clinton should have been impeached for bombing a pharmaceutical factory in Sudan and for continuing the bombing of Iraq. I did articulate those reasons in old emails that I used to send to my friends. This was pre-blog...

If Bush or the South Korean prime minister can do a good job while playing 18 holes, they should be praised by all. If you're doing a bad job and your country needs you, get off the golf course.

Are you aware that Bush and Cheney were both more worried about their golf scores and fly fishing than they were about American lives being in danger?
Despite FEMA's horrible record, Bush should not have assumed that they would do their usual terrible job. He should have at least pretended to care. Lord knows his image needed the boost...
And why are you still defending this bozo?
