Bush's plan for disaster relief.
As copied from "whitehouse.org".

#1 Publicly restate the obvious.

#2 Get my ass and a phalanx of photogs within inches of the Louisiana Stenchzone so that I can survey the brutal damage and humanity up close – but not so close that my dress shoes get scuffed.

#3 Briefly struggle to empathize with the suffering of the victims, then give up, grit teeth, and find my special strong, silent "John Wayne" place. Hang loose there for a while.

#4 Sell out the Federal disaster response agencies and bean counters I had four years to streamline. And by streamline, I mean "Play Three Card Monte With Billions."

#5 Pray. Pray that folk will forget this teeny widdle environmental disaster toot sweet, and pray that we find more imaginary dinosaur bone sludge that we can whip into vroom juice.

1. They forgot this one.
#6 Ignore the starving thousands long enough and they will die. Hence, no more problem. Just a nifty little clean up job (others will be shamed into doing the actual cleanup work, of course) and a photo op near a newly rebuilt building later down the road.

2. With a huge...
"Mission Accomplished" banner on the side of the building.
