Last weekend I saw a new print Ad displayed on the bus stop at the corner of my street. It shows George W. Bush looking out a window of Air Force One at the devastation and aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans with a close up photo of a person’s pair of hands holding tightly onto a piece of a cardboard with the phrase, “AIDS is DC’s Katrina” scribbled in red across the cardboard.The above picture is a similar print Ad that was also put on a bus stop on 17th and H Streets, just one block from the White House, where I get off the bus to go to work.
It is amazing how Bush has become a symbol of failure in his own country, to the extent that this failure is printed on an Ad that got distributed across his very own country's capital where he once served as a president. So yes, what goes around comes around!

Well, that is Washington D.C., the place of the worst, most dangerous schools in the nation (America's Sadr City). I'm sure that if you want to get people riled up there, you put Dubya's picture on something.
But, as AIDs advocate, Bono, has noted, GWB's record on AIDs funding has no superiors among Western administrations. Bono certainly compared him favorably to Clinton. But then blaming Hurricane Katrina on the Federal government is pretty impressive ignorance too.
I'm a little embarrassed for someone someone who has so greatly benefited personally from Dubya's foreign policy yet spits on his memory. "Sharper than a serpent's tooth..." as Shakespeare said.
Bush can still be blamed for everything short of the run in my stockings. I've seen that sign daily and it absolutely reeks of ignorance. It does grab attention since its message on the right (or should I say left) side of the political fence.
