From the AP:

The president urged a crackdown on the lawlessness.

“I think there ought to be zero tolerance of people breaking the law during an emergency such as this - whether it be looting, or price gouging at the gasoline pump, or taking advantage of charitable giving or insurance fraud,” Bush said. “And I’ve made that clear to our attorney general. The citizens ought to be working together.”

You think there ought to be zero tolerance? Oh, I’m so glad that you’ve been thinking about it.

You’re the goddamn president. How about you start demanding lawful behavior, and backing up your words by doing something to make it happen? Instead of making something clear to your attorney general, why not make it clear directly to the refugees in New Orleans? Why not send in more of the National Guard, to prove you’re serious? Why not tell your citizenslike a president ought toto stop looting, to step up and help their fellow citizens, and to sit tight, as their country is working as fast as possible to get food, shelter, safety, and health care to everyone.

Unless you don’t really believe that’s going to happen. You just think it ought to.
