Wed 21 Sep 1:00 PM

Kanye West started the ball rolling, and now stars from across the spectrum are lining up to criticise President Bush over his handling of Hurricane Katrina.

At the Higher Ground benefit in New York, comedian and actor Robin Williams, aka Mrs Doubtfire, weighed in against Bush, pretending to be a hurricane and saying he'd head for the President's home "see if they respond any quicker".

The Bush administration was also the target of criticism from singer Harry Belafonte and comedian Bill Cosby Lethal Weapon star Danny Glover, who alleged, "When the hurricane struck, it did not turn the region into a Third World country - it revealed one."
