[Rhodes22-list] This just crossed the wires too

This just crossed the wires. I felt obligated to pass it along to those of you far more politically savy than myself: Please also see attached for verification:
 
(AP)
 
Shocked by the widespread suffering of those displaced from their homes by the flooding in New Orleans following Hurricane Katrina, Senator Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.) volunteered to  plug one of the holes in the Lake Pontchartrain levee. 

"The Bush Administration has failed to stem the tide of this cataclysm," said Kennedy. "I have had some experience with aquatic mishaps. This experience will bolster me in this hour of desperation as I plug one of the leaks myself."

President Bush praised Senator Kennedy's decision. "I think it's mighty big of him to offer so much for the good of the country," said Bush. "There aren't many who could fill such a large role in this disaster."

 
 
-This is perhaps one of the most magnanimous shows of bipartisanship I have ever seen!
