All the kings horses and all the kings men can't find their asses with all the kings hands

First Bush rejects international aid, then he is forced to admit the US can't cope with the disaster, then finally asks the EU and NATO for emergency Katrina aid.

He is totally out of touch. Of course it is understandable given that his underlings, in this case Michael Chertoff, are cartoonishly stupid:

On Sunday's "Meet the Press," Homeland Security chief Michael Chertoff told Tim Russert that one reason for the delay in rushing federal aid to the Gulf Coast was that "everyone" thought the crisis had passed when the storm left town: "I remember on Tuesday morning picking up newspapers and I saw headlines, 'New Orleans Dodged The Bullet.'"

Come. On. Just imagine for a moment that you are the President and you hear the Head of Homeland Security say on national T.V. that he read a newspaper that told him New Orleans was ok, and that's why he didn't respond to the crisis. Imagine that, especially considering almost no one outside of the people who were supposedly taking care of the problem thought it was ok. Just imagine. For me, it goes something like this: After I get done accepting the fact that I obviously hired a retarded person to run the largest federal agency in the land, the only possible response to such an idiotic statement is: "You're fired."
