WAIT.
We're supposed to believe that not only does aid finally arrive en masse, but buses arive as well, and the national guard. All at the same time. There are chinooks there for goodness sake! Helicopters all over! Not ONLY does all of this happen, but they're finally trying to fix the levee? NOW? This is just all happening at once by coincidence while nothing happened for 5 DAYS? No.

What. the. fuck.

It's of course also coincidental that at this point in time the president is taking advantage of poor folk who have lost their homes in Mississippi. They're coming up to him crying for help because no one has been there whatsoever until this. FEMA has not been there!

What now? Bush heads to NO just when everyone is getting out of dodge, and claims mission accomplished again? Claims he ruffled some feathers and pulled fucking loaves and fishes out of his ass?

So a few hours ago bush got together with all the dept. heads who constantly LIED to the media, and went on the tour of propaganda together, to have the last laugh?


I know I haven't slept in a while, but there's no way I'm just seeing things here. This is insanity. This is criminal.

9. No, it won't.
His approval ratings are going to skyrocket. People are just too fucking stupid. I'm not being cynical, I'm just being realistic. People are just too fucking stupid to see the truth. I'm sorry, but that's just the way it is.

2. So the question is, WHY DIDN'T MIRACLE WORKER BUSH
pull this off on Tuesday? Answer: He was too busy getting guitar lessons and speaking before a captured audience at a Naval base! IOW he had other priorities as he usually does when disaster strikes America.

8. I think control changed hands somewhere

Someone got their walking papers and someone else got a "field promotion".

7. It's so clear to me
that everything was put on hold until Chimpy showed up...to make him look like a savior...it's truly pathetic that it has come to this...when the "un-elected" leader of the US has to let people die so he can swoop in and make it look like everything is ok...

"W" stands for "WORTHLESS"...

14. See how perfectly coordinated this is?
Everything has appeared all at once in time for Bush's appearance.

What does this tell you?

That they ARE CAPABLE of coordinating and effort

and that they COULD HAVE MADE ALL THIS HAPPEN ON TUESDAY OR WEDNESDAY!!!

15. Dubya II -
Please, please, please – someone convince my cynical self that this support for the people in NOLA WASN’T delayed to make for a good photo op since Dubya was taking it in the shorts for ‘staying the course’ of his vacation and then flying out to meet with campaign donors AFTER the hurricane had hit. Surely, not even this White House, doing everything in the name of ideological propaganda that they have done, would stoop so low as to let people die while they were staging

WII: Return of the Conquering 9/11 Hero (rated G for ‘family values’ of course!)

And almost as bad, how far have we sunk that people can even think that the WH would do such a thing.

16. Apparently they held everything back until
there was a huge number of armed Guardsmen on the scene. It will come back to haunt them.
