Bush and Looters: Study of a Compassionate Conservative
From ABC Primetime, here is the word-for-word text of his comments regarding looting (thank you TIVO.)

Diane Sawyer: "Many of them going in have said, we are only going in because we are desperate; we need shoes to walk around in because our feet are being cut. We need food for our children.

Bush: <attempts to talk over Diane's question> Uh-I-I-I

Sawyer: What's justified and what's not?

Bush: <insert smirk and roll-eyes here> I think there ought to be zero tolerance of people breaking the law for an emergency such as this.


Wow. Taking food for your baby is not a valid justification. So, how long until we impeach this guy?

3. I think the law says different Bush. I think in times of crisis people
are aloud to commandeer food and water & rafts and coolers and "things that float".
