EXCUSE MY SARCASM BUT
I can't help but wonder how Bush is going to milk this national tragedy into something to boost his poll numbers.....

Imagine....

Bush standing in a boat perusing the damage, bullhorn in hand.

"America will prevail in this devastating attack against the gulf, New Orleans and many other communities in the area. I want you all to know we will maintain our vigil to ensure that Iran never attacks us again in this despicable terror attack. We will take the fight to em there so they can't send hurricanes here. We are on the march. Let freedom reign and please follow the martial laws to maintain our liberty, strenghten our democracy, and uphold our rights as free citizens of America!"

Sadly, the only ears within range were on a cow floating bloated with legs extended past the presidential skiff.


My sincerest and deepest condolences to those in the south facing such horrific difficulties right now. My heart and prayers go out to you. I know you all have the fortitude to see this storm through and will rebuild to a better day. And, I trully wish you had an adequate president up to the job.

1. If he's going to start milking it
he better put down the freaking guitar and put on some waders and get over there.

5. For one thing, if he's afraid of horses, you know he's scared to
death of snakes, and he certainly can't say "did you see how fast I got into action on this thang"? Nobody, even freepers, is going to buy that bullshit.

2. I think it is too late for that to happen
If he had gone back to the Whitehouse during the weekend and started addressing the country and showing leadership that might have been the case. But just like his father during Hurricane Andrew when the director of emergency services had to yell out "Where is the calvary" did he finally do something.

7. One consolation...
Skyrocketing gas prices will extinguish any 'lift' he may weasel out with in a hurry.

12. Are you kidding? He loves it! Ever see how animated he gets
when talking about death and destruction? "Oh please don't kill me, Gov. Bush", he said mocking Carla Faye Tucker. He's a sick bastard!

9. Not when there's photos of him eating cake and playing the guitar...
...while people drown.

This will bite him in the ass MUCH worse than Andrew bit his Poppy's ass. Mark my words.

10. Hey, he's already done it...I heard at a minimum 4 times today that
Bush* is cutting his vacation SHORT!!!! Because of the tragedy. No one has mentioned that his 'vacation' ends tomorrow, August 31st, which is when his royal highness now plans to return.

11. Like I said...
It's all politics. Because of this administiration they are going to look at it and say "remember I helped you. Vote for me."

Just pathetic. People are starving, dying and homes are lost and all they can think of is how this will make them look good.

What empty souls these people in power have.
