Not sayin Bush is a gold digger...

Ward showed me quite possibly one of the funniest clips I have ever seen the other day. It was Mike Myers and Kanye West doing one of those scripted donation promos for Hurricane Katrina. Well, not FOR the hurricane itself, but rather for the relief. Anyway, instead of sticking to the script, Kanye goes off on a tangent about how the Bush Administration is doing nothing to help the victims of the hurricane.

A tyrade in which he ends with the phrase "George Bush doesn't care about black people." What makes this clip so hilarious, aside from the fact that his claim is probably true, is the expression on Mike Myers face when Kanye says that. He is nodding in agreement until he realizes what Kanye just said and then turns to him like, "wha... what???" with this classic gaping mouth expression. I'm sure most of you dear reader(s) have seen this and can acknowledge the hilarity.

Another great clip involves Dick Chaney doing a curbside interview in New Orleans in a demolished neighborhood. He is talking about how he thinks FEMA is handling things correctly when all of a sudden some guy shouts out "Go f**k yourself Mr. Chaney." Dick tries to keep talking but the guy is quite persistent. "Yeah. Go f**k yourself. Go f**k yourself." The look on Chaney's face: classic.

So I think what we have learned here is that out of widespread disaster and devastation always comes the opportunity for hilarious spur-of-the-moment facial expressions. I don't know if I would go as far as to say it was worth the disaster, but at least it lightens the mood.
