Paul,

Bush thrives on crises!  Q: Where would he be now without 9/11?  A:  
Back in Crawford after an otherwise dull and failed presidency.

As to Katrina, we - all of the taxpapers - will fund the  
reconstruction of New Orleans (including adequate levees), and the rich
(his primary supporters) will buy up the land cheap and redevelop it  
into another play spot like Vail and Las Vegas. The poor
who survived and got shipped throughout the U.S. will never return -  
it will be too expensive for them!  Btw, this is a form of
'legalized' ethnic/economic cleansing!

In short, this is another 'win-win' for Bush who is just waiting  
('without looking') for the next crisis - which is inevitable!
Btw, his 'astonished' first ("Rove-ian") remark will be ""I don't  
think anybody anticipated the (fill in the blanks)."
