Cindy Sheehan started with a simple, clear and compelling demand of George "Gulag" Bush: what was the noble cause for which her son died? After endless rounds of the same speech from GW without any sign of "progress" from Iraq, Americans were starting to be ready to hear that question and want an answer.
When Katrina hit and W had another pet goat moment, followed by rhetoric about progress in New Orleans while reality was more accessible than in Iraq, I think the light bulb finally lit up. Thus the collective emperor sans clothes moment.
Hurricane Katrina might be natural selection at work?
