So many questions, so many pleas to 'not blame Bush' or anyone else for that matter.
The UK Independent had this to say about the Bush administration:
The criticism is all the sharper because the President did nothing to alter his holiday schedule for 48 hours. Vice-President Dick Cheney remains on
holiday in Wyoming. Condoleezza Rice, the Secretary of State, returned to Washington after being seen shopping for $7,000 shoes in Manhattan as New
Orleans went under.

Condi shops for shoes. Yes, it's true. She was spotted watching Spamalot (Monty Python spoof) in NYC and also shopping for shoes while the crisis was
going on.
What does surprise us: Just moments ago at the Ferragamo on 5th Avenue, Condoleeza Rice was seen spending several thousands of dollars on some nice,
new shoes (we’ve confirmed this, so her new heels will surely get coverage from the WaPo’s Robin Givhan). A fellow shopper, unable to fathom the
absurdity of Rice’s timing, went up to the Secretary and reportedly shouted, “How dare you shop for shoes while thousands are dying and
homeless!” Never one to have her fashion choices questioned, Rice had security PHYSICALLY REMOVE the woman.
Angry Lady, whoever you are, we love you. You are a true American, and we’ll go shoe shopping with you anytime.
Note, this image is NOT repeat NOT of Condi's shoes. Just some *I* picked out for her based on her politics, seasonal colours and personal
preference. You can feel free to find your own on the provided ferragamo link.
