Open thread time!
Because Katrina response was so great:
According to multiple sources, Obama last night called George W. Bush and formally asked him to participate, along with Bill Clinton, in humanitarian relief efforts for Haiti — in the same vein that Bush’s father and Clinton did following the tsunami disaster in Southeast Asia. Bush 43 said he was ready to do whatever was necessary. A formal rollout of the Clinton/Bush 43-led relief effort will take place as early as tomorrow afternoon, but possibly not until the weekend, as the administration doesn’t want to take any attention away in the next 24 hours from search and rescue efforts. For Bush 43, this is his first real public effort since he left office; it’s an opportunity to begin establishing his post-presidential legacy, especially on an issue like disaster relief, which remains a scar on his presidency.
No word yet on whether Bush has asked Michael “Brownie” Brown for his advice on disaster relief.
Because that answer worked so well before…
I have to admit this is pretty good stuff from Glenn Beck. Recalling Katie Couric’s famous 2008 question to Sarah Palin about which newspapers and magazines she reads, Beck tonight asked Palin who her favorite Founding Father is. She gave the identical painfully awkward response: “All of them.” To which Beck replied, “Bullcrap” — and pressed her to answer.
“You know, well, all of them, because they came collectively together with so much … so much diverse and so much diversity in terms of belief, but collectively they came together.”
She eventually said, “And they were led by, of course George Washington.”
Will she accuse Beck of asking “gotcha” questions now?
