Repuke Energy Photo -Op and They Leave 8 GMC SUVs Idling!

[leftchick]

I have no link, it was from an MSRNC segment this afternoon I just happened to catch. It was actually pretty cool as they did a pop-up video like segment. I saw bush giving his energy speech and the pop-ups on the cost of the photo-op and fueling AF1 came up. Then Nancy Pelosi and a pop-up of her riding in an SUV to the energy talk from her office 1/2 block away.

The best was the last and the whole repuke representatives photo-op at a gas station. The Pop-up shows they leave EIGHT GMC SUVs idling the whole time and then whisking them back to congress.

I was pretty shocked to see that on my TV.

12. Did they run around as much as this oil marinated regime does?

I'll be "reasonable" when this oil adm, stops the price gouging and their wars for oil. How's that?

23. Oh somehow I doubt that! But feel free to back up your statement

that "with the Clintons, they evened out in the end".

[tabasco]

25. Gas was $1.50 when Clinton was President.

And the republicans howled.

Bush said he would jawbone to get the prices down.

Go back to where you came from.

29. They did even more.

The presidency is a job which requires a lot of travel. Since Clinton didn't spend all his time on vacation at a ranch in Texas, it's reasonable to assume he travelled a lot more than that guy who replaced him.

[SammyWinstonJack]

31. Are you kidding me? bu$h has done nothing but travel! I don't have the

stats, but ** has spend his time in office doing nothing but travel.

28. Interesting that you don't mention

Bush 1, Reagan, Nixon... Wonder what these have in common...Hmm, I wonder what that is?:shrug:

[leftchick]

7. $25,000.00 DOLLARS for ONE trip on AF1 for a chimp photo-op

and that is a short trip. The chimperor takes DAILY trips all over the fucking country, ON OUR DIME, for useless photo-ops in a desperate attempt to boost his toilet water poll numbers.

Now THAT is truly W A S T E! :puke:

Just one day after President Bush urged Americans to cut back on needless travel and promised that the federal government would do the same, he boarded Air Force One for a trip to inspect hurricane damage that will burn up roughly 11,437 gallons of jet fuel, worth about $24,590 at today's record high fuel prices.

In fact, an investigation by Attytood -- using the best available numbers for Bush's travel since Hurricane Katrina struck the Gulf Coast, for the performance of Air Force One and for jet fuel prices -- estimates that Bush has spent $169,314 on jet fuel alone.

Bush has visited the Gulf region seven times, as well as an Air Force One flyover, since the Aug. 29 impact by Katrina, the most expensive national disaster in American history and one of the deadliest. But experts and even some White House officials have said the frequent trips have had as much or more to do with rebuilding the president's tarnished image than rebuilding the Gulf Coast.

Many of the trips seem targeted towards conveying television images of Bush as an involved leader. In fact, Bush's flight schedule last weekend was rearranged because, according to aides, Hurricane Rita had shifted course and the weather would be sunny in San Antonio. At several of the meetings that Bush has attended other officials have taken part by teleconferencing rather than by attending in person.

"Seven trips in a month -- what can he really do down there?," asked Larry Sabato, the University of Virginia political scientist and presidential pundit. He said the trips "are all about photo ops and reassurance and Clintonian moments of feeling people's pain."

33. It couldn't be clearer if she/he tried

They forget that the large majority of DU has an IQ above that of Ambient room temperature in Antartica, during a cold snap with the windows and doors open, A C going full blast and wind speed of 120 miles per hour sustained. Poor misguided and deluded thangs...

[leftchick]

43. heh!

:thumbsup:

[TomInTib]

4. What a trio! Hastert, Blackburn and Blunt..

They look like relatives viewing the body with the Funeral Director.

[SPKrazy]

5. Maybe they are diesel, in which case it uses more fuel to

restart them than to idle them

and I'm sure security takes a part in this as well

I'm willing to allow this as the next Prez will be a Dem and I want he/she to be able to make the getaway from the evil repuke bastards that will dog their every move.

[MADem]

8. I saw those popups, I thought I had mistuned to VH1 news!!!

It was actually a good way to keep the segment going! Talk about delivering the backstory, with short snappy facts!

Way better than that halfassed crawl at the bottom!

[leftchick]

9. wasn't it great?

and quite a surprise for the M$M too!

[sweetheart]

27. like in that wordl war 2 movie

Where one set of guys is running out of water and
the other guys are pretending they have soooo much of
it they can bathe in it. So here, bush has so much
inflammible gas around him, he drinks it.

[nicknameless]

45. Hilarious!

[stubtoe]

46. Well, maybe Denny IS a bit too hefty to fit into that alternative car

:)
