I mean, that's a little odd, don't you think? Every time one of these hurricanes strike, there's Bush, right behind it.

I'm starting to think these guys are in cahoots. :scared:

1. It's that Bush is THE quintessential ambulance chaser
He goes from town to town to try and buy votes by giving aid (if you are in a swing state). Wait until after the election, then he won't give a shit anymore.

He's trying to emulate Clinton, who showed up right after Andrew. There's one thing you can't fake, Junior. . .and that's compassion. :p

3. I think it has something to do with the ice cube industry.
Product placement, you dig?

4. His dad was president during Andrew and caught hell for dragging
his feet and his sorry ass with relief help.

CBS showed a clip of Poopy tonight snapping at people during his visit.

5. Or perhaps....
...hurricanes have a special relationship with the Bush tribe. If I remember correctly, the Perfect Storm destroyed the Bush compound in Kennebunkport during Poppy's miserable failure of a presidency. Both Poppy and Nana Popeye were devastated by the destruction (it was then that I knew that God had a tremendous sense of humor).

6. The guy loves disaster...
Disasters help Bush politically since all he has to do is take some pictures with people who are actually helping and then use it as a sign of strength.
