Which Bush is this? And what government is his? And what media is his media? The scandals of the paid American media that claim democracy while covering up unthinkable actions by the American administration. Scandals of President Bush and his cronies who cloaked themselves as saints yet acted like devils. Hurricane Katrina's disaster and the Iraqi theater, raised and lowered on blood, are glaring examples of these confusions, alongside other signs revealing the fragility of the political leadership Bush relied on, and the flawed federal structure that stood in as a replacement for true authority figures. This marked the start of losing control over political media: thousands of bodies retrieved and hundreds of thousands left homeless by Hurricane Katrina, while members of the Bush administration were distributed as follows: Bush spent his vacation in Texas, Dick Cheney was on a hunting trip in Wyoming, Condoleezza Rice went shopping in New York and played tennis with Monica Seles, Rumsfeld played with the San Diego Padres, and Chertoff, responsible for managing the United States and organizing responses for such hurricanes, chose to stay home. Frightening stories are gradually spreading about torture sanctions in the United States and about foreign prisons where thousands are thrown based on the whims of the president, who holds the power of life and death and acts by 'divine command.'
