Transcript – President Bush’s speech from New Orleans

I was zoning in and out during the speech but here’s what I came away with: an abnormal storm overwhelmed our normal capability to address the problem. So now we’re going to spend piles of money building the world’s largest sump pump to save a city that sits underwater. It would have been a much better speech if the President declared that the pork-laden transportation bill that just passed was going to have all it’s expenditures diverted to the Gulf Coast. [Chris Farley voice] "That would have been awesome." [/Chris Farley]

Follow-up – According to Lorie Byrd, hurricane survivors at the Astrodome praised Bush’s speech and blamed Nagin and Blanco. Uh-oh: an intern at ABC News is bound to lose his/her job for poor screening. (Free Republic caught it too).

More – Here’s the video of the exchange from the Political Teen: “Right after President Bush’s address to the nation last night, ABC reporter Dean Reynolds went out interviewing Katrina victims. He asked Bush-bashing baiting questions, however the woman he interviewed didn’t bite on to it.”
