Bush: "Rock is a plain-spoken guy...fellow I feel comfortable talking to."

THE PRESIDENT: I just had coffee with Rockey Vaccarella, St. Bernard Parish, Louisiana. He caught my attention because he decided to come up to Washington, D.C. and make it clear to me and others here in the government that there's people down there still hurting in south Louisiana, and along the Gulf Coast.

And Rock is a plain-spoken guy. He's the kind of fellow I feel comfortable talking to. I told him that I understand that there's people down there that still need help. And I told him the federal government will work with the state and local authorities to get the help to them as quickly as possible.

MR. VACCARELLA: That's right.

...

MR. VACCARELLA: You know, I wish you had another four years, man. If we had this President for another four years, I think we'd be great. But we're going to move on.

Mr. President, it's been my pleasure.

THE PRESIDENT: You're a good man, Rockey. Thank you all.

MR. VACCARELLA: You are, too. Thanks a bunch.

:puke:

1. Too bad the projectile vomit emoticon can't spew all the way

accross my screen and maybe into the next office.

[bigscott]

2. is Rocky

retarded? kinda looks it and certainly thinks that way. Maybe Mrs Vaccarella dropped him at birth?
I bet HIS house gets rebuilt soon

[buff2]

3. So what's next?

Does this idiot want to perform fellatio on Bu$h or what? Gag me. :puke:

[BOSSHOG]

4. Very sad indeed

What a person will do to get their picture taken with an idiot. Rocky your 15 minutes are almost up. But I believe your stunt won't play well especially next week when we "celebrate" Katrina's one year anniversary. Katrina fucked you, then bush fucked you, then today he fucked you again. I guess ole rocky likes getting fucked.

[bumblebee1]

34. As the bumper sticker says BossHog,

"Of course it hurts. You're being screwed by an elephant."

Maybe Rocky's into pain.

[magellan]

5. Does Rockey always wear his cross outside his shirt?

Looks a little, you know, STAGED.

[Rude Horner]

13. Good catch!

Nice subliminals there, huh?

[magellan]

25. This is the subliminal I get

"Hurry, Master -- I think the cross is starting to burn into my skin!!"

[babylonsister]

6. What a suck-up. He's a disgrace. Wait! They both are! nt

[Virginia Dare]

7. Okay so the fool got his 15 minutes...

now you're going to have every freeper asswipe in the country sojourning to the White House for his chance to suck up to Dubya and get his stupid-ass mug on TeeVee.

It's a new reality show: Meet the Chimp

How low can you stoop to dupe the stupid ignorant President into meeting with your stupid ignorant ass?

[zbdent]

8. Did "Rocky" swallow?

Did Bush even buy him flowers?

Oh, I see ... plenty of "Green Benjamins" ... rare flower, usually blooms in the light of a repuke president ...

[Lerkfish]

9. I notice he didn't photo op with the woman from spike lee's HBO movie

that said bush could kiss her ass.

:rofl:

[goclark]

11. I love Phyllis LaBlanc

She is my new hero!

[Lerkfish]

15. mine too, I had just forgotten her name, thanks for providing it!

[goclark]

32. Oops, the spelling is LeBlanc nt

[goclark]

10. Bet his bank account got a BIG new balance

from Uncle What's his name?

[Hubert Flottz]

12. Rocky RacKook

[opihimoimoi]

17. Rocks brain is a rock....Granite or Basalt...don't matter, density about

the same..

[Hubert Flottz]

21. I wonder how much they are paying that Kook to suck up to W?

The guy looks like a freakin' Veggie!

[opihimoimoi]

27. Prolly gave him a signed picture so he could go home and show off

A cheap Photo Op

[SammyWinstonJack]

14. So......Pinhead** didn't know that there were people still hurting in

LA and along the Gulf coast? He had to have a resident from there to tell him that? Figures! ** doesn't realize just how incredibly clueless and cruel he sounds, while trying to show us his "plain folk" side. He makes me :puke: And what hell is wrong with Rocky? Oh and ** head just go a little bigger with that comment about another four years crap.

[FSogol]

16. Bush: "Rock is a simpleton & suckup... I feel he makes me look smart"

:rofl:

"You're doing a heckva job Rockey"

[Ganja Ninja]

18. Rockey owes a lot of back taxes to the government not to ...

mention the incriminating photo's we have on him. So he'll stay on script if he knows what's good for him.

[Ian David]

19. They're both like a Rock... only dumber.

Rocky should have fucking drowned.

[Brotherjohn]

20. Oh, Rocky, you dissappoint! You had said this wasn't going to be...

...political, and that you were just going to bring a positive message and remind everyone (Prez'nit included) that the Gulf Coast still needed help.

Then you went ahead and endorsed him for a third term.

But don't be SO hard on the guy, folks. He was pretty positive and apolitical through most of the thing, and it was an admirable journey, keeping awareness up. He just got blinded by the (dim) lights, as any Republican would have. I'm not going to hate the guy just because he's a Republican.

[Ino]

22. Rockey was (is?) an aspiring politician

Maybe this little photo op will garner some Repuke donations.

http://www.geocities.com/fbecke/st_bernard.html

District D: Ex-N.O.P.D. and now insurance writer, Joseph Gallodoro collected 40% to Rockey Vaccarella's 16%. Unfortunately, during the race Rockey's son got arrested. Maybe this had something to do with his lower totals. No incumbent in this race.

Rockey looks and sounds like one of us. His ad in today's Times-Picayune, 11/14/99, appealed to the body politic. He appears to be a hardworking individual who wants to get elected to public office. He may continue to align himself with the common folk if elected, or he may join the ranks of the chosen who cons himself into shady deals and millions when he leaves office. You know this politician. He gets into office borrowing money to win. Promising perks to others to get elected. And, collecting thousands by helping to award contracts to illegal bidders, etc. when he wins the office. Later, at term's end, he's the won who says he tried his best all four years- only this time he doesn't have to borrow money to run. Rockey doesn't look the type. I could be wrong, but first he has to pull an upset to win.

23. Surprise! Rocky is a GOP pol!

24. Hey "Rock" who was disinterested and on vacation while NO was underwater?

your pal Bush! Who has been the president this past year while NO has been by and large ignored? Bush! Which party has controlled congress during this past year? Bush's. And you really think if he had another four years things would be better?

[PaDem]

26. Can this nonsense be any more transparent?

Remarkable the degree to which this Presidency has been stage managed and scripted. Just another GOP shill pretending to be a regular guy so the President can boost his image as an everyday guy.

[im10ashus]

28. "Rock is a plain-spoken guy...fellow I feel comfortable talking to."

Translation: "He's as big a dumbass as me. Heh, heh."

[aaronbees]

29. What a sickening stunt....

Especially after St. Bernard Parish was freakin' pummeled. "Plain spoken guy" equals "he will kiss my ass."

[pinto]

30. Ugh.

[Ms. Clio]

31. they probably shared their favorite fart jokes

and played pull my finger.

[leftyladyfrommo]

33. Oh, barf.

[triguy46]

35. Well, Rock got his. Now for the other millions, sorry.... n/t

[EstimatedProphet]

36. Of course

And Rock is a plain-spoken guy. He's the kind of fellow I feel comfortable talking to.

You should, considering he's on your payroll!
