Bush Visit Grounded Relief Helicopters

From the AP (via Coldfury and Digby):

In St. Bernard and Plaquemines parishes, just south of New Orleans, victims of the hurricane are still waiting for food and water and for buses to escape the floodwaters, [ Rep. Charlie Melancon, D-La.] said. And for the entire time Bush was in the state, the congressman said, a ban on helicopter flights further stalled the delivery of food and supplies.

You have got to be f--king kidding me. Dear sweet Jesus, you have got to be kidding me.
