Dispatch from apocalypseville

This is from Joshua Kucera at slate.com today. I cannot improve on it ...

Amazing is one word for it: The Post offers a dispatch from one of the White House's lamer photo ops. President Bush had coffee with Katrina survivor Rockey Vaccarella, who then gushed to the waiting cameras, "You know, it's really amazing when a small man like me from St. Bernard Parish can meet the President of the United States." Of course, it's somewhat less amazing when you consider that Vaccarella is a Republican activist in Louisiana, who repeated several times during his few moments in the spotlight that America needed a third Bush term. "You know, I wish you had another four years, man," Vaccarella said. "If we had this president for another four years, I think we'd be great."

ME: Somewhere, Jefferson is being exorcised or ghostbusted or something else horrible that happens to dead people.
