Worst thing I've read here today - the report from a European

[NRaleighLiberal]

source on the fake photo ops - at the Levee, setting up then quickly taking down rood distribution. Isn't this not only an impeachable, but a criminal act? Is there a reliable source for this that we can flood the media (print, cable...) with?

What the misleader did with respect to the Lies that got us into Iraq is the impeachable offense....what he did this week (cake with McCain, playing the guitar, others in the misadmin totally absent or shoe shopping) was a CRIME..... So, first get him out of office, then get the entire misadministration in jail. Get the Dems back in charge (no, they are not perfect, but a step in the right direction).

1. From Sen. Landrieu's web site

http://landrieu.senate.gov/~landrieu/releases/05/2005903E12.html


"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 and old -- deserve far better from their national government.

"Mr. President, I'm imploring you once again to get a cabinet-level official stood up as soon as possible to get this entire operation moving forward regionwide with all the resources -- military and otherwise -- necessary to relieve the unmitigated suffering and economic damage that is unfolding."

Today's aerial tour of the 17th Street levee will be featured tomorrow on ABC's This Week with George Stephanopoulos. Later, Sen. Landrieu will also appear on CBS's 60 Minutes.

2. Not only that...

...but they PREVENTED adequate rescue and supplemental efforts until the Boy King did his photo ops. They HELD BACK efforts until it could be made to look like Chimperor arrived with the cavalry. People DIED so he could have a photo op, and a fake one at that. Hey, I've got an idea for Bush, next time he wants to be photographed near a natural disaster, he should pose for pictures with his cabinet at the "Western White House" after it's been torn down to its foundation by the bare hands of the NOLA survivors. There's an idea...

4. is there just TOO much failure with these idiots that...

it just becomes impossible to focus on a few things long enough to lock them up? This must be the most corrupt, inept, ignorant, selfish, stupid, obnoxious, inefficient misadministration in the history of the world, if not the universe

the American people.
