No, the utter and complete hatred of President Bush knows no end for those on the left. Even though as of the writing of this post the fate of the miners trapped in WV is unknown, that doesn't stop complete and utter lunatics from, yes, you guessed it, blaming Bush!!

I really can't believe I'm not making this up. But one Scott Shields is actually blaming their deaths on Bush. He claims that Bush, because of his connections with "Big Coal," did this. Now try and follow the logic:

Bush appointed David Lauriski, an executive with 30 years in the coal industry, to head the Mine Safety and Health Administration. In December, 2001, Mr. Lauriski rejected a change to the rules of mining because if he did, "Big Mining" would donate large amounts of money to President Bush. The rule change would have forced this mine to have created a "second escapeway" from the mine exactly where the trapped workers are located. But since that would cost the mining industry money, the rule was disallowed so the mining industry could give that money to Bush, who would then give the money to Mr. Lauriski as a cash reward. And if that one regulation had passed in 2001, this mine (the Sago Mine) would not have gotten 208 citations in 2005 for safety violations and the trapped miners would have just taken the back glass elevator up to the surface when the mine collapsed.

The entire concept of logical thought is completely lost on the left. Completely.
