Pres Carter and Three Mile Island

[Debau2005]

I am watching a documentary on Three Mile Island on the History International channel. President and Mrs Carter visited the reactor after the disaster, even with the imminent danger.

Can you imagine what would have happened if that disaster occurred today? How far would * run to make sure he didn't have to take responsibility and put himself in danger?

1. He would be competing with Cheney

for that "undisclosed location"

2. Speaking from someone who lives where 3 mile island is,

I wouldn't want that cowboy traipsing horse shit into that plant.

3. He'd jump on a plane and fly around all day, maybe doing a drunken video somewhere

just to reassure people.

There were two times in the last six years that I wanted Bush to be the best president this nation has ever had. I wanted to cheer for him and praise him with all my heart. One was on 9-11, the other was the day after Katrina. Both times he was AWOL.

As much as I despise Reagan, I don't believe even he would have been as cowardly as W.

4. Reminds me of Saturday Night Live

They did a skit about how President Carter had become a giant due to nuclear exposure. The only other person who had become a similar giant was a maid played by Garrett Morris, and she ended up as the new first lady since she was big enough. I think it was one of the "Baba Wawa" skits where Gilda Radner played "Baba Wawa."

5. "The Pepsi Syndrome"!

That's the first thing I thought of, too! Hilarious skit.
