3. Yep, I heard Junior saying the following things...
Edited on Sat Sep-10-05 02:10 PM by TwoSparkles
"As the low front of terrorism rains down a deluge of fear on the American people, I'm here...to help ya'll sift through the rubble of hopes destroyed and rebuild a levy of patriotism that will defeat the 90-mile-an-hour-high winds of the insurgency."

The man has no shame.

6. I did...
I made it up. It was a little joke.

However, he is linking the two and he's a shameless little squirrel--so we might see a speech like this coming down the pike.

You never know...

5. Thanks, CatWoman
on second viewing I am pretty much convinced that this clown is the only person (and I use that word in its most loose way) I have seen capable of such self-parody.
To top it off, this was related to the nomination of Karen Hughes as Chief Lie-Writer

Pathetic.

9. Hughes should be fired. She can't keep the Bushes from insulting everyone
Babs, Poppy, Junior--and even Laura, who forgot the name of the Hurricane, twice!

10. So true...
his antics are becoming farcical, by now.

You're right...he's a parody of himself.

The Rove machine only works if they have to kick it into gear during a rare crisis. Unfortunately, for them, this bungling administration is in crisis every other week--so they keep repeating the same shtick--and now it seems absurd beyond repair.

Pretty soon--Junior will be comparing and contrasting EVERY policy of his--to the war on terror.

"Ya know, Osama hates the estate tax."

"Insurgents hate us for our freedom. My social security plan gives seniors more freedom. If you don't like my plan, you are now considered an insurgent."

8. Let them do this because time and time again
it will highlight their failure to provide relief to thousands.

11. I can't wait for it to become an SNL skit...
Edited on Sat Sep-10-05 02:13 PM by TwoSparkles
...seriously, this is great fodder for jokes.

Junior using 9/11 to draw parallels to the hurricane is really bizarre and dumb.

Each day with this man at the helm, is another lesson in unprecedented nimroddery.

12. SAY WHAT?
Well, I guess he may have a point. He had warnings that both events were going to happen, and he wasn't prepared for either one! What an absolute moran.
