5. Fake reporters/ FEMA
Does this not surprise us, i mean Bush needing approval so badly that he stages a false news conference filled with glowing faces upon the good work done with the disaster. I think that he thinks he needs to pull one over on we the people. In a great way i am saddened by this. He is aware on some level of his failings as president and if he would acknowledge some of the biggest lies perhaps he could walk into the sunset with the understanding that he can make amends for the failings of his presidency. This would cause some to open their hearts to him. The bigger fault lies with the people that bought into his campaign of fear and hate and the right wing sound box that fills talk radio with this hateful drivel. We the people are starting to realize just how dangerous the right wing has become and how senseless their rhetoric has become.

9. The Cronies are Phonies...
A horse breeder for a disaster manager is a disaster. What do they need to know to work for Bush? How to lie like Bush can lie.

22. I think he has put about all his cards on the table and...
the best the GOP can come up with is an unfunny joker or two for 2008. Bush has shot the GOP's wad for a long time to come I'm betting! They bet everything on a sure loser and now they are going to have to pay up!

13. Oh, no, Brownie was not a breeder, one needs management skills for that.
He supposedly rectified arguments in the Arabian horse trials.

A breeder has to keep and actually understand a stud book, mare book, etc. Does one think Brown could manage that? He could not decide where to eat dinner in BR and whether or not to roll up his sleeves for the television cameras.

I still don't understand why he just didn't lie and say that Chertoff was on his way within the hour followed by Bush to personally take command?

Had he said it, they would have come, believe me!

17. there's no doubt bush has populated his entire admin with cronies...
it is suggested he has done so to make up for a lack of self confidence never instilled within him by his family and in spite of his access to their many undeserving rewards & bailouts of his many other failed, ahem, escapades; he needs 'yes people' he feels he is able to lourde over and still receive that "Nice drive, Mr. President!!" rush which is why i am nearly ready to suggest myself...

that we begin to run these so-called public servants through a psych battery first to determine if their brains are capable of civil governance on behalf of 'we the people'

20. opi-mon, remember the pre-Iraq invasion press conference?
Where the real press were zombies?

That was a pisser for me, personally.

For a lousy paycheck and their names in lights, the White House Press Corpse got up like zombies to send softballs up the crazy monkey's tail pipe.

So, the press are all cronies.

And judging from the corporations out there, they're run by cronies, too.

And their conduit to the White House, Jack Abramoff is just one cronie to go down.

There must be dozens more.

Let's drink big-time once they -- from sneer and smirko on down to the trigger-happy Blackwater turd -- are in Leavenworth.

21. At least it's CALI - it will get talked about on
Many shows that come out of those areas - even Bill M. and co. It's Hollywood, or producers, directors what have you - they live all through those areas, always have and probably more since I left (on my street I had Dennis Weaver and every day I passed this old country music, satire & movies star. I want to say Audrey........but def a man.) They will allow it on air.

Brad and Angelina are trying to make NOLA hip - its a weird thing there - what they are doing is making it expensive.

The people of MS and NOLA NEED to be back in their home on their land. Not taken out buy insurance people! they are killing them with rates higher than rent/mortgages for home owners - so forced to sell.

My mother had 10 homes, including her well deserved saint of a woman my Mum is, lost her dream home - right before it was finally ready for a family xmas there......she has been mobile in a trailer traveling the US for almost 20 years! This was here we are DONE traveling house. It's now foundation and my brother lives in a fema on it! My mother bought property where they had to stop to get in with Fema and NG - they had a massive cut off area and very difficult to get through for a while. She's 67 - she doesn't want to keep evacuating! So 40 acres of land there - 2 years later, still trying to get the right KIT house on it! And she has to take insurance co's to court over some of these properties.

Now imagine, my Mum has the knowledge of how to work it. And money to bail out. She is still struggling massively - makes me think more and more about the rest who didn't have what my Mum and step father do. They are being forgotten and shouldn't EVER. Not till things are right there can we forgive but never ever Forget!

No, Hollywood is where the money is. It's burning and we will hear about it like we did Clinton's BJ!
Cheers
Sandy
