Bush faked levee repair for photo op yesterday
by John in DC - 9/03/2005 06:29:00 PM

From a press release LA Senator Mary Landrieu sent out today:

But perhaps the greatest disappointment stands at the breached 17th Street levee. Touring this critical site yesterday with the President, I saw what I believed to be a real and significant effort to get a handle on a major cause of this catastrophe. Flying over this critical spot again this morning, less than 24 hours later, it became apparent that yesterday we witnessed a hastily prepared stage set for a Presidential photo opportunity; and the desperately needed resources we saw were this morning reduced to a single, lonely piece of equipment. The good and decent people of southeast Louisiana and the Gulf Coast - black and white, rich and poor, young annd old - deserve far better from their national government.

1. A DUer asked prior to the visit if he would have a "plastic turkey"

Guess that is the answer. :shakeshead:

2. From Landrieu of all people...

lets see if Vitter toes the party line. I don't think he will in this case.

[Dudley_DUright]

7. Vitter has already said that the federal response deserves a grade of

F

10. I wonder if she regrets

her patronizing tones toward Anderson Cooper the other night on CNN when she unctuously thanks Bush for all he'd done.

16. She was angry then too -- but she really wanted to get as much

out of the fucker as she could to help her people and her state. I could tell she was trying hard to be diplomatic while real emotions boiled inside. Because of that, what she says now really stings.

[Avalux]

3. OMG. OMG. OMG.

That's about all I can think as I read this and shake my head in absolute disgust. :grr:

Good for Senator Landrieu to speak out.

[chomskysright]

4. GET THOSE PLASTIC TURKEYS OUT SOLDIERS!

[benburch]

5. We need to try Bush on charges of Capital Murder. nt

22. Crimes against Humanity

He de-funded the levee maintenance and repair for the last 4 years.

6. SOP for that scum

no shame whatsoever

[Tace]

8. Just Exactly What I Expect From These Hellhounds

Perception, perception, perception.

Yet, they miss the part about perception.

They're insane.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

11. My perception at the time, fwiw.

[babylonsister]

13. These are the kinds of stories that need to be sent around to

everyone you know to answer that burning question: How low can they really go?

[Bumblebee]

17. Since she said it, it will be picked up aplenty.

We do not have that many senators after all...

[annabanana]

This is absolutely shameful, dead people in the streets and this creep plays picture time.

:argh:

[brettdale]
