Meanwhile Mr. Bush is meeting with the Queen, dining on white asparagus in Germany and strolling through the Vatican gardens with the Pope; Dick Cheney is conspicuously absent; and FEMA... who cares where they are because they are completely useless (Oh yeah, that's right... so are Bush and Cheney).

Anyway, MSNBC spent the better part of three days eulogizing Tim Russert and covering his funeral instead of covering the floods. I am more than a little confused by the media's priorities.

When do Americans matter in this country??
