More image over substance

By Creature

They still don't get it.

Mr. Bush delivered his [Katrina] remarks at an intersection in a working-class Biloxi neighborhood against a carefully orchestrated backdrop of neatly reconstructed homes. Just a few feet out of camera range stood gutted houses with wires dangling from interior ceilings. A tattered piece of crime scene tape hung from a tree in the field where Mr. Bush spoke. A toilet seat lay on its side in the grass.

Crime scene tape and a toilet seat. That about sums up Bush's entire presidency.

The NYT has more.
