President Bush: Compassion Personified

... as long as we're talking about Trent Lott's porch on a house he spends maybe 10 days a year in; the president last week:

We've got a lot of rebuilding to do ... The good news is — and it's hard for some to see it now — that out of this chaos is going to come a fantastic Gulf Coast, like it was before. Out of the rubbles of Trent Lott's house — he's lost his entire house — there's going to be a fantastic house. And I'm looking forward to sitting on the porch."
In other words, the deep South will look resplendently white and ... oh.. upper class. People who shop at Wal-Mart for the heck of it and not because it's the only way they can afford laundry detergent.
