Bush Quick To Respond ...

... to a Supreme Court vacancy:

(Voice of America) President Bush is leading the nation in mourning the passing of the chief justice of the United States, William Rehnquist. Justice Rehnquist died late Saturday at his Washington-area home after a battle with cancer.

The president said he will move quickly to select a new chief justice. "There are now two vacancies on the Supreme Court, and it will serve the best interest of the nation to fill those vacancies promptly," he said.

Bush has been planning for this ever since he was first elected President in 2000.

Yet when it comes to events such as 9/11, the Asian Tsunami, or the devastation of hurricane Katrina, Bush has been AWOL (as has the Vice President). Where was the planning (and funding for such planning) to protect New Orleans? Obviously, he has a different set of priorities than the rest of this nation.
