The Limbaugh-listener I know at work is blaming it all on the mayor.

Everything they do is that. The only thing they care about is making money. Why else did Halliburton "win" a contract so fast to rebuild New Orleans? I believe they "won" it like on 9/5 or something like that? It was very close after the storm hit. So disgusting. They have to use the media to their advantage to save their asses. I don't have any hope anymore about justice.

9. Halliburton had actually won a contract with the Navy some time ago |
|
for similar and anticipated activities. They just activated the contract. I heard that on Franken today. Don't remember who he was interviewing that said that, but it is one of his regulars that clarified that. Halliburton actually did bid on that contract and won it.
The worst part is Halliburton will subcontract it out because it's not exactly what they do as a general rule. So, they will get the adminstration money and pay someone else less to do the job.

They are already saying things like "...playing the 'race card'..." up here in Michigan (regarding Sharpton and Jackson in NOLA).

Posing for a camera is the only thing the Bushies know how to do.

There is no problem that cannot be solved with an expensive banner or backdrop. Even the president is a prop.

If you look at this administration, you realize that Cheney and Rove never could have gotten where they were if they didn't have a friendly redneck in the front, doing photo ops to get elected. Bush got them into office, Cheney provides the corporate clout, and Rove is the brains.

17. adding firefighting props |
|
to his photo tour. According to a Salt Lake Tribune article, 1000 highly trained firefighters have been sent to the area not to help save lives but to pass out pr flyers for FEMA. For 50 "lucky" firefighters their first assignment was to stand by shrub's side while he tours the devastated areas. What a shameful waste of time for these firefighters - background fodder for Bush's publicity photos. (note to photographer, Bush doesn't have a good side)

18. Of course it's just a photo op |

They couldn't care less about these people. Someday Roves number is going to be called. His karma will not be kind.

21. Of course...But come on, smears, lies and distortions, is what |

makes it work...And they will get away with it...
The "blame game" is what they are relying on, the lies, over & over will get them through, pointing the finger elsewhere!!! (Yet insisting... "No time to point fingers"). Is that their genius?
And people will slowly begin to believe! Goebbels; "It ALWAYS works"!
Again, the lies will overwhelm, Hannity, O'Reily, Limbaugh, etc...pounding & pounding away 24/7.
Count on it!
