LJ'ers are taking a roll call over at [livejournal.com profile] london_070705.

In case you hadn't heard, multiple blasts in London have killed over 45 people - so far.

Snark levels rising fast.

But here - I'll vent this little bit, thanks to Reuters: World Leaders Reactions. Note that everyone except that idiot Bush condemns the attacks in plain language. Bush? Call Homeland Security! SAVE MY ASS!!

Yeah. Hussein was the threat of the day. Suuuuure.

My sense of outrage is overshadowed by my absolute shame. This could have been stopped. I'm certain of it.

I'm sorry.

God, I hope you're all right.

It was bad enough hearing Bush's statement on NPR this morning -- the man should never ever speak extempore, as we are all now well aware -- but worse was hearing it followed up less than 10 minutes later by Tony Blair's, which though similar in substance, was miles away in terms of style.

Sigh.

I've often thought that, though it would take a massive reorg of our government chart, that there are admirable things to be said for the British chief executive having to put up with (and pass with flying colors for live TV) Prime Minister's Question Time.
