Bush wants us to know he cares that a bridge collapsed. Really, he's cares -- and it's not his fault.

Yeah, he should care, but he really doesn't. The infrastructure of America is collapsing under his watch. But he's been too busy giving tax breaks to the rich and spending hundreds of billions on the Iraq debacle to worry about anything as perfunctory as roads and bridges:

Still criticized for his administration's sluggish response to Hurricane Katrina, Bush hurried to Minnesota soon after the I-35W bridge buckled on Wednesday. The collapse sent dozens of cars sliding in the Mississippi River, killing at least five people and injuring about 100 others.

"Clearly, this was not something that we expected to happen," said his transportation chief, who flew with the president on Air Force One.

In his weekly radio address, tape Friday and released before the trip, Bush said: "This is a difficult time for the community in Minneapolis, but the people there are decent and resilient, and they will get through these painful hours."

The painful thing is that this was preventable. Totally preventable.

Has the Bush team blamed Clinton yet?
