Usually, making fun of tornado victims would be taboo

This article on CNN.com raises a couple of interesting issues: first, what was Mr. Kruger wearing before he put on his sweatpants?

Second, what the hell is President Bush trying to say with this quote: "the American people hold those who suffered up in prayer." Is he saying that the prayers of the nation are holding these people up? Wouldn't that really be for the sufferers to decide? If one of the sufferers said something like "Well, life sucks, but knowing that so many people are wishing me well and praying for me makes it more bearable", then fine, I guess. But what Bush seems to be saying is "trust me, you ain't feeling bad right now - American's are prayin' fer ya. Stop that crying, whining and bitching right now or I'll decide not to send disaster relief - but I'll keep prayin' fer ya."

Now, as for drinking a quick shot of whisky just before the tornado hit - that seems like a good idea.
