Prediction: U.S.S. Chickenhawk will show up in NO.

[democrank]

Rove could pull this off. The sky`s the limit when you have an empty conscience but bloated coffers. Bush won`t show up in a little rowboat. It`ll be something the size of Barbara Bush`s ego,
giganto-mundo, like Junior`s Mission Accomplished rig. Maybe McCain will be on board to hold the Texas state flag and cue cards. He`s Bush`s bro` now that they were able to get past that Black, illegitimate love child smear. Neocon Bros. God`s Chosen Children.

At least Wolf Blitzer will be able to save face. "Right here in our CNN Situation Room, we have a live feed of Our Commander overseeing disaster relief operations. With President Bush are 20,000 Marines, the Harlem Boys` Choir, Zell Miller and the entire membership of Patriots Against Cindy Sheehan."

If Bush does show up in New Orleans, I hope someone asks him if he`ll slither on over to Iraq and rescue Louisiana`s and Mississippi`s National Guard units. Their people need them.

1. likely he'll tour the damage in his helicopter

get out to shake hands with some donors. about it.

won't TOUCH a poor black person the whole time.

[Missy M]

2. Believe me he WILL show up..

he can't resist acting like he is the savior. He will never pass up a PR session. He will of course wait until it is safe.

[Booster]

3. I dunno. There's snakes and alligators down there, not to mention

the deseases that will be full blown by the time Mr. Speedy gets all the ducks in a row so he doesn't accidentally come upon somebody in NO that doesn't adore him - those things take time. Remember how long it took him to get to NY?

[rzemanfl]

4. He will give a black person a bag of ice and then leave, just like

in Florida.

[FrenchieCat]

5. Disasters and tragedies are

consistent gifts to Bush's presidency.

Don't look for the media to ever
point to this equation---> bad for us = good for Bush.

6. What costume will he wear this time? Floaties and waders, anyone?

Showboating little :puke:

[noonriser]

12. FEMA windbreaker.

He's always got to pretend to be in some official uniform. Probably with those waders too though.

[DRoseDARs]

17. I don't know. Uncle Dick is awfully protective of Junior...

Personally, I wouldn't want the pResident anywhere near open water without the proper safety attire...

[greekspeak]

7. I am sure he will exploit the misery to its utmost...

Of course, the Big Easy may be more treasured memory than southern metropolis by the Royal Visit. People will drown, die of horrid diseases, buildings will collapse in the softened ground before the photo-op can be properly arranged. He will fly around in a copter, strut in a costume, do some empty symbolic act to rouse up the base, gab about terra, vomit empty platitudes. He will get his picture taken with someone who lost family members while crying some fake crocodile tears as if he has the capacity to give two shits.

8. Nevermind

That was satire about Bltizer.

Man, this has been a long day.

[paineinthearse]

9. Scottie McClellan pretty much confirmed this today

see gaggle transcript at http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x2046243

Rest assured he will NOT be meeting those who lost their homes, he'll be in some safe and secure restricted area, such as a naval station or air force base. They'll cart in the usual neocons / fascists / freepers.

[shraby]

10. He can't be protected enough in a helicopter

his guard jets can't go slow enough.

[noonriser]

11. But what costume will he wear for the press event?

FEMA windbreaker, I bet. Ya know, he's gotta play dressup for every event.

:puke:

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

13. Will he bring a turkey?

[noonriser]

14. Maybe a cake.

He is the turkey.

:)

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

15. Ding! Ding! Ding!

[SpiralHawk]

16. And his guitar, so he can lead Sing Along With Chimpy

in a sobering rendition of "singing in the rain."

Hang loos, y'all.
