Demagogue

Yesterday, on MLK Day, President Bush made an unannounced visit to Cardozo High School in Washington, D.C. yesterday. Bush participated in a community clean-up project at Cardozo, where students and parents were painting murals.

But not all of the children at Cardozo yesterday were commemorating MLK Day by painting murals. Ironically, according to the Wash Post:

Upstairs in the school's library, children wrote hopeful letters to people in New Orleans who lives were devastated by Hurricane Katrina.

Perhaps the president whose administration bungled its response to Katrina should have walked upstairs and written a few of those letters.
