3. Actually he needed a hug |
|
If he had pulled a Mike Tyson, that would've been ok.

4. Wish Nagin just punched the coward....the nation/world would have cheered! |
|
So, maybe it would have meant the secret service takung him down/out, but it would have been the punch heard around the world and Nagin would be a hero...

Actually, if you were Nagin what would you do" let more people |
|
die?". Bush let people die, they are on his judgment day list (which is quite long by now). Nagin knows where the guilt lies, Bush is so unstable, would you tick him off? Seriously, think how long it took for him to even get to DC.

is much like a dog rolling over exposing it's tummy.
Friend...buddy...pal...how ya been? C'mere. Hug.
And given that Bush is invulnerable to anything surrounded by SS as he is, and it would be very hard to dress down the POTUS given a lifetime of respect drilled into him...I doubt the mayor had much choice beyond a hug.
Being seen as buds with the POTUS is a very powerful drug.

11. I caught a catfish this big. |
|
But as luck would have it was just a dead kid. The fishing here sucks and you call this a resort town? Shame on YOU! I should have went duck hunting with Cheney.

20. The body language still works |

and has an effect on the person. Whether they're conscious of it or not.
And it certainly works for the cameras and national image.

22. I saw Nagin smiling (with bottled water), and I was not amused. |
|
I was a little disgusted that after last night he'd be all chummy with Bush.

23. I wouldn't fault Nagin for anything at this point |
|
In times like this you do whatever you have to do to help your people, including hugging the devil if that's what it takes. If Nagin acted all pissy in front of Bush, he knows Bush has many subtle ways to get him back. I'm more impressed that Nagin could stay so composed.

24. I just wish that Nagin had done on live Nat'l TV what Kanye West did and |
|
speak truth to power...."Bush doesn't care about black people" -or- "Bush has failed the people of New Orleans, Louisiana and the entire country - you all feel safe America?"

but he did have the good sense not to do in Bush's face. What would that have accomplished? He knows Bush would only lash back at him but hurting his people even more.
