The military has "kick Katrina's ass" t-shirts? Oh, tough response.

Admiral Keating on MSNBC right now.

Was this another of Rove's ideas? Give them t-shirts that read "We're gonna kick Katrina's ass" -- as if that makes up for the response that was too little and too late?

1. and how much money was spent on that foolishness?

while people were dying?

[Skidmore]

2. Explains the delay....had to wait for someone to design and

print the t-shirts. This just grates. Assholes. Marketing a national disaster. Shallow, callous.

3. Katrina's response: "Ooooh, I'm scared!"

10. Are we sure about that?

That's not part of the uniform. You can't just wear a t-shirt like that with your uniform, and you can't perform offical duties in anything other than your uniform.

I need to see proof of this one. I believe people are wearing these t-shirts, but I have a hard time believing it's active duty military folks. I say this with 8 years of active service under my belt.

11. Yes, they can. The uniform of the day is whatever the commander decides

My husband has t-shirts as part of his uniform. He's active duty. The t-shirts have the regimental crest on them and he wears it with his BDU pants.



Fortunately he's never been required to wear a t-shirt with a stupid sound bite on it. However, I have seen those that have

Airborne wear black tees with their BDU pants as well.

12. Chris Jansing just referred back to that part of what the admiral

had said, reminding someone else that he'd said that "military people are saying they're going to kick Katrina's butt." I'm sure that was a reference to the sentence I heard, and I'm pretty sure Keating was referring to the military wearing these t-shirts, but I don't have a transcript.
