1. Has anyone told nummy there is a disaster
in the South? He is busy comparing WW2 to Iraq. He needs educating and updating.

5. I think Brown was being a tad sarcastic when he mentioned that it was
"nice" the president was showing up.

6. I wouldn't count on him bringing food. Remember a plastic turkey in Iraq?
Remember $15 billion promised for AIDS in Africa? Remember his promise to go after the traitor who outed a CIA agent?

What about the promised energy policy?

7. It will take 4 days to prep Junior on speaking to victims of disaster
Actually it will take longer, but any later than Friday would be really awful. :sarcasm:

8. he'll fly over and land on a Navy ship, parade around some,
as if the situation wasn't bad enough, bush will use it as photo-op.

a whole new set of bush as some hero, just in time for the fall...

I can see him now, dressed up in some costume, giving a war speech with some words substituted. I'm wondering if there'll be a megaphone.

"and soon the people wo did this will hear us...."

he'll put on a show, make some strained statement (he cannot fake compassion), and then move on, as if his job is done...

9. Ugh. I wouldn't want to see his smug face if I was suffering like
these people are. He'll offer some insincere words of encouragement about getting back on their feet by pulling themselves up by their own bootstraps, I bet.

10. Everyone should be dead by then.
He is such a fucktard I am almost beside myself. I called the Whitehouse comment line to bitch about idiot boy not doing anything about this, but it is closed. For those who are interested, the number is 202-456-1111. I am going to call tomorrow to bitch, it won't do any good but at least they will know that the country is watching him.

13. There better be protesters asking why he cut $71M from levee construction
Edited on Tue Aug-30-05 09:42 PM by zulchzulu
We need to flood the media (no pun intended) with this story.

"In fiscal year 2006, the New Orleans district of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is bracing for a record $71.2 million reduction in federal funding…The cuts mean major hurricane and flood protection projects will not be awarded to local engineering firms. Also, a study to determine ways to protect the region from a Category 5 hurricane has been shelved for now."
