Katrina and George W

As Katrina headed to New Orleans and the Gulf Coast.
George W was otherwise engrossed!
As thousands hurried to the Superdome,
George W was still hiding from Cindy in his Crawford home!
Even Condi was off buying expensive shoes,
While George W was on still another vacation snooze!
From Dick Cheney, not a word on the situation,
Must be hiding in his undisclosed location!
Thousands waited for relief!
George W made a flyby so brief!
When would relief come?
FEMA and George W were only mum!
Bodies floating by!
Help from George W was nigh!
No food or drinking water in sight!
George W cared little for their plight!
Day after day,
People of New Orleans were unprotected prey!
Victims pleading for any assistance!
George W kept his distance!
Where were the National Guard troops?
Mostly in Iraq as his war dupes!
Almost no money to make the levees safe!
Gone with the troops to Iraq - makes me chafe!
Was all this part of George W's master plan?
To destroy the New Orleans Black Man?
Real help George W seemed to bridle?
Is he truly the greatest American IDLE?

"The incompetent with nothing to do can still make a mess of it."
Laurence J. Peter (1919-1988)
