Fast forward to Hurricane Katrina. Thanks to today's News York Times we have Chimpie clearly emulating the Rice model.
A Homeland Security Department report submitted to the White House at 1:47 a.m. on Aug. 29, hours before the storm hit, said, "Any storm rated Category 4 or greater will likely lead to severe flooding and/or levee breaching."Apart from the startling lack of confidence he shows in his own administration, this is an outright lie, something like #349 by my count. And yet his popularity remains above single digits. Are there really so many wingnuts/clueless dummies/religious crazies out there? Are 38 percent of the people still convinced that Bush is anything but an utter disaster for the country?
The internal department documents, which were forwarded to the White House, contradict statements by President Bush and the homeland security secretary, Michael Chertoff, that no one expected the storm protection system in New Orleans to be breached.
"I don't think anyone anticipated the breach of the levees," Mr. Bush said in a television interview on Sept. 1. "Now we're having to deal with it, and will."
Yeah, who is truly stupid here?

Is that 349 lies for this fiscal year? Or 349 lies total? It seems like his overall total should be higher.
I was counting lies that he personally and knowingly participated in. Those in which he was either an unwitting participant, dupe, or too dense to understand, are uncountable.
No one anticipated Bush's mind giving way...
