Katrina's deluge may be draining, but the tide of African-American resentment toward President Bush seems higher than ever.

"Bush is a travesty," Magic Johnson told us yesterday at the Rev. Al Sharpton's Dream

Keepers Luncheon in Beverly Hills. "The White House let us all down - both blacks and whites."

"Hotel Rwanda" star Don Cheadle admitted that "the dogs are piling on the President." But, the Oscar nominee added, "I'm cool with it. I'm one more on the dog pile. How Bush handled this was an embarrassment."

"Bush sat there and fiddled in Crawford while New Orleans drowned," Sharpton said. "If someone had told him that it was heading to West Palm Beach, Fla., he would have stopped everything."

1. I love Don Cheadle

Hey, anyone heard from Bill Cosby yet? STRANGELY quiet....

2. Don Cheadle, spelled C-O-O-L.

That's one huge actor who's only going to get bigger. He has some amazing work out there and I don't believe he's even scratched the surface.

I also like his politics.

3. It's about time...

4. The only thing " NEW " here is that

these kind of comments are being made available to the general population. This is standard speak within the Black community even before Katrina.

It would be good to visit sites like Black Commentator, or Black Voices, just to name a few. People could learn a lot about what our community thinks and says to each other.

7. as time goes on I think about the Black Caucus more and more

how they tried to prevent all this back in 2000 and they were alone; DAMN - history is going to hold them in VERY high regard
