And Turd Blossom Said, "This To Shall Pass"........

[global1]

Well the MSM tells us that NO is getting better. Water draining. Businesses coming back to life. Port of NO not as bad off as they thought. No 10,000 dead. * is back for his third trip showing his concern. And just about a week after the confusion, destruction and conflagration - the 'Merikin people are losing interest and buying into the Repug spin. It was Mayor Nagin's fault for not evacuating the people - all those submerged school buses. It was Governor Blanco's fault - she didn't call out the guard soon enough.

And so it goes - * will skate again.

What's it going to take?

1. Katrina...the last straw. * Waterloo. n/t

2. That's just the MSM spin - he's done. Fini.

He may even continue to occupy office, but most have ceased to believe he can lead any more.

3. Or is this horrorshow just going to be played out as...

...Watergate II: We Get Fooled Again

4. Losing a city is hardly a small story

This is like a freakin' super-bomb went off. Even republicans want to know who is to blame.

6. bombs & hurricanes:

Even smaller hurricanes pack a mind-boggling amount of power. The heat energy released by a hurricane equals 50 to 200 trillion watts—or about the same amount of energy released by exploding a 10-megaton nuclear bomb every 20 minutes. (from the National Center for Atmospheric Research)

5. Never forget New Orleans

That shall be the battle cry for the 2006 elections and beyond.
Never forget 9/11 has worked for the bu$h regime, this is the anti 9/11... It proves to the nation that bu$h and his cronies are incompetent and we need to take that to the voting booths in Nov 06.

We are NOT safer than before 9/11, If anything we are less safe.

7. Really?I've seen more people on DU say this crap than my repuke neighbors

If people were buying this shit then Bush's numbers would have started climbing when he first showed up,then more when he made the second trip,blah blah.

Point is they are not climbing,they are still falling. Viewers have seen weeks of this destruction. Just because Cheney shows up two weeks later after his east coast mansion tour means nothing,and the people aren't buying.

9. I think you're right.

Things have been going badly for Bush since the inauguration. His approval rating has declined steadily. The response to Katrina just adds fuel to the fire.

Naturally, they will do all they can to try to look good. But fewer and fewer people are buying what they're selling.

8. Time Magazine Reveals Turd Blossom's Comeback Plan:

http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1103581,00.html


<snip>


By late last week, Administration aides were describing a three-part comeback plan. The first: Spend freely, and worry about the tab and the consequences later. "Nothing can salve the wounds like money," said an official who helped develop the strategy. "You'll see a much more aggressively engaged President, traveling to the Gulf Coast a lot and sending a lot of people down there."

The second tactic could be summed up as, Don't look back. The White House has sent delegates to meetings in Washington of outside Republican groups who have plans to blame the Democrats and state and local officials. In the meantime, it has no plans to push for a full-scale inquiry like the 9/11 commission, which Bush bitterly opposed until the pressure from Congress and surviving families made resistance futile. Congressional Democrats have said they are unwilling to settle for anything less than an outside panel, but White House officials said they do not intend to give in, and will portray Democrats as politicking if they do not accept a bipartisan panel proposed by Republican congressional leaders. Ken Mehlman, the party's chairman and Bush's campaign manager last year, told TIME that viewers at home will think it's "kind of ghoulish, the extent to which you've got political leaders saying not 'Let's help the people in need' but making snide comments about vacations."

The third move: Develop a new set of goals to announce after Katrina fades. Advisers are proceeding with plans to gin up base-conservative voters for next year's congressional midterm elections with a platform that probably will be focused around tax reform.Because Bush will need a dynamic salesman to make sure that initiative goes better than his Social Security proposal, advisers tell TIME there is once again talk of replacing Treasury Secretary John Snow. There are no plans to delay tax cuts to pay for the New Orleans reconstruction or the Iraq war, and Bush is likely to follow through on his vow to veto anticipated congressional approval of increased federal funding for embryonic-stem-cell research.
