>>  Dear Mr. Bush:
>>
>>  Any idea where all our helicopters are? It's Day 5 of Hurricane
>> Katrina and thousands remain stranded in New Orleans and need to be
>> airlifted. Where on earth could you have misplaced all our military
>> choppers? Do you need help finding them? I once lost my car in a
>> Sears parking lot. Man, was that a drag.
>>
>>  Also, any idea where all our national guard soldiers are? We could
>> really use them right now for the type of thing they signed up to do
>> like helping with national disasters. How come they weren't there to
>> begin with?
>>
>>  Last Thursday I was in south Florida and sat outside while the eye
>> of Hurricane Katrina passed over my head. It was only a Category 1
>> then but it was pretty nasty. Eleven people died and, as of today,
>> there were still homes without power. That night the weatherman said
>> this storm was on its way to New Orleans. That was Thursday! Did
>> anybody tell you? I know you didn't want to interrupt your vacation
>> and I know how you don't like to get bad news. Plus, you had
>> fundraisers to go to and mothers of dead soldiers to ignore and
>> smear. You sure showed her!
>>
>>  I especially like how, the day after the hurricane, instead of
>> flying to Louisiana, you flew to San Diego to party with your
>> business peeps. Don't let people criticize you for this -- after all,
>> the hurricane was over and what the heck could you do, put your
>> finger in the dike?
>>
>>  And don't listen to those who, in the coming days, will reveal how
>> you specifically reduced the Army Corps of Engineers' budget for New
>> Orleans this summer for the third year in a row. You just tell them
>> that even if you hadn't cut the money to fix those levees, there
>> weren't going to be any Army engineers to fix them anyway because you
>> had a much more important construction job for them -- BUILDING
>> DEMOCRACY IN IRAQ!
>>
>>  On Day 3, when you finally left your vacation home, I have to say I
>> was moved by how you had your Air Force One pilot descend from the
>> clouds as you flew over New Orleans so you could catch a quick look
>> of the disaster. Hey, I know you couldn't stop and grab a bullhorn
>> and stand on some rubble and act like a commander in chief. Been
>> there done that.
>>
>>  There will be those who will try to politicize this tragedy and try
>> to use it against you. Just have your people keep pointing that out.
>> Respond to nothing. Even those pesky scientists who predicted this
>> would happen because the water in the Gulf of Mexico is getting
>> hotter and hotter making a storm like this inevitable. Ignore them
>> and all their global warming Chicken Littles. There is nothing
>> unusual about a hurricane that was so wide it would be like having
>> one F-4 tornado that stretched from New York to Cleveland.
>>
>>  No, Mr. Bush, you just stay the course. It's not your fault that 30
>> percent of New Orleans lives in poverty or that tens of thousands had
>> no transportation to get out of town. C'mon, they're black!  I mean,
>> it's not like this happened to Kennebunkport. Can you imagine leaving
>> white people on their roofs for five days?  Don't make me laugh!
>>  Race has nothing -- NOTHING -- to do with this!
>>
>>  You hang in there, Mr. Bush. Just try to find a few of our Army
>> helicopters and send them there. Pretend the people of New Orleans
>> and the Gulf Coast are near Tikrit.
>>
>>  Yours,
>>

>>  P.S. That annoying mother, Cindy Sheehan, is no longer at your
>> ranch. She and dozens of other relatives of the Iraqi War dead are
>> now driving across the country, stopping in many cities along the
>> way. Maybe you can catch up with them

>>  before they get to DC on September 21st.
