Last week, President Bush cut short one of his cherished vacations to "save" Terri Schiavo from the tyranny of her own wishes.
On Saturday, Bush publicly expressed his regret over the school shooting on the Red Lake Chippewa reservation in Minnesota.
No word on why it took him 5 days to pretend to give a shit. I wonder what his response would have been if a bunch of white kids in a high school in Texas had been slaughtered. Maybe it would have been the same; maybe his sick callousness is truly colorblind, but I wonder...
Everything, that is, short of enacting any gun control laws whatsoever, or addressing the crippling poverty and lack of opportunity on Native American reservations, or considering what living in a culture of fear and vengeance does to our collective morality.
Everything in our power.
