It is hard to find anything funny about W's inept dealing with Katrina but this is close. First re-read this quote:
Then watch this public service announcement from 2004."I don't think anyone could have anticipated the breach of the levees." George W. Bush
Yep, once again an inanimate claymation figure appears to be better informed than our president.
If you can't get to the clip here is a transcript:
Our president is a national (and international) disgrace but this man is a national treasure.Here's a transcript of the stunningly prescient ad, from CNN on May 27, 2004:
MR. BILL: Gee, kids, I'm not sure we can do our show today because it looks like Hurricane Sluggo is headed right for us here in America's wetlands.
WALTER WILLIAMS, MR. BILL CREATOR: That's right, Mr. Bill. And since New Orleans is below sea level, if a hurricane hit us directly, it could push the water over the levees and fill it to the top.
BILL: Well then we'd better leave.
WILLIAMS: Well it's too late to evacuate since all the roads are jammed and under water.
BILL: Then where can we go that's safe?
WILLIAMS: Here this should work. (puts Mr. Bill on the roof of a house)
BILL: Gee, I hope it doesn't get much higher.
WILLIAMS: Well, Red, the alligator, doesn't seem too worried.
BILL: Yes, that's because he can swim. You know I don't do that too well.
WILLIAMS: Well in that case, Red says he'll have one of his buddies come and give you a lift.
BILL: That's OK. Maybe you could mind the water wings or something. Oh, get me out of here! No, wait, no, no, ohhh!
WILLIAMS: Let's act now before it's too late.
