“Don’t buy gas if you don’t need it.”
-President Bush, swinging into action

I’m probably overreacting because he was on vacation for the first two days of this disaster and this is still the best he could do, but has anyone ever bought gas that didn’t need to?

“We need to hit the Mobil station on the way to the party.”
“Mobil…? Dude, you just filled up last night.”
“Oh, what can I say? I just love that smell! I go every day!”

It’s not fun; it’s not dessert; it’s gas.

So… corpses lying in the streets for a week. That’s a real confidence booster, isn’t it? Way to spring into action, there, feds. Can’t wait for the New Madrid Quake.

President Bush, 8/30/05
