Pot-Kettle-Black: Laura Bush scolds rulers of Myanmar

According to an article from Agence France-Presse, First Lady Laura Bush criticized the military rulers of Myanmar (formerly known as Burma) for failing to warn their citizens in time about last week's cyclone that killed more than 22,000 people:
"Although they were aware of the threat, Burma's state-run media failed to issue a timely warning to citizens in the storm's path," [Laura] Bush said in an unusual appearance at the White House briefing room podium.
Wait a minute. What does this remind me of?

Oh yeah -- Hurricane Katrina, when our own so-called leaders went AWOL.

Instead of doing anything about the disaster, George W. Bush partied.

Condi Rice went shoe shopping.

And Brownie did a heck of a job.

So here again we have yet another Bush-related case of the proverbial pot calling the kettle black.
