Katrina - Bush visit

After Bush's much-publicized photo-op, where he played hero and hugged two young Black women in Louisiana, the German television station ZDF News reported that the president's visit was a completely staged event. Their crew witnessed how the open-air food distribution point Bush visited in front of the cameras was torn down immediately after he and the herd of "news people" had left. Others that were allegedly being set up were abandoned at the same time. The people in the area were once again left to fend for themselves, said ZDF.
