I'd say it's official...George Bush is a bonafide

[hester_prynne]

DUMBFUCK.
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! The idiot wind is blowing fiercely....right in front of our eyes on tv!
I saw him today on tv, talking about the devastation. He is such an idiot! He pisses me off/frustrates me so fucking bad. All he could do was say it was "bad", using all his aggressive/bully tactics, and that they are good in their response...doing "hard work" to help the victims. Then he goes on to talk about Camille in 1969, as if he were trying to sound smart....(wow, he knew the date!!!!) Fuck, who cares about camille? huh? what's the point?

My god he is a total idiot.
He is an embarrassment, and he represents America, i.e., you and me.
I want to screammmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!!
He was talking about how soon, the victims will be able to start filling out the paperwork to apply for FEMA aid!
Fucking hell! Paperwork to fill out? Then how long for the federal employee dumbfuck minigeorges to process it? On labor day? Wait, that's a holiday....the government shuts down on that day.....
I fucking cannot believe it!
You bet your ass if it were white rich folks, it'd be all cleaned up by now...but no, it's poor blacks and whites, so the government just can't really get real, christ look at it on the tv!!!!!....they have no idea how to put their god damned lily white elbows in the sink and really "work hard". Nobody is thinking of shortcuts, nobody is thinking outside the usual idiot boxes despite the fact that THIS IS A NATIONAL EMERGENCY!!!!!!!
You wait. He'll be recruiting victims of this tragedy for his Iraq blunder,you just wait.
He will also use this incident to impose martial law and get that ball rolling nationwide too.
Maybe those folks who say he is the one starting these hurricanes up are right......
WHEN THE FUCK ARE PEOPLE GOING TO WAKE UP AND GET THESE CRIMINALS OUT OF POWER?????????
For God's sakes, this is a total disaster, and it's more of a disaster in the sluggish, dumbfuck response of it.
I can't take it. The idiocy, the dissassociation, the blowing off of these poor victims...its' just despicable.
I'd be in that dome if it had hit here.
I wouldn't have had the money to get out and get a hotel....
I can't believe the arrogance and elitism just blatently in front of us right now....the gall of Brown to say that people "chose" not to heed evacuation requests.....over and over and over again, despite people saying to him that these victims had no options to get out, that it was the city's responsibility to get them out and they didn't!!!!! They are the ones that fucked up!
grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
I can't stop weeping. I want so much to do something. A friend of mine and I are working on getting some plus size clothing donations to send to the dome...apparently that is something much needed.....among a million other things......
I'm also trying to house a victim or two....you'd think that they could just use the Fema dollars to farm people out to those of us willing to help....but no, most of the fema dollars will go to Iraq somehow......
Oh, and watch your back. America is about as vulnerable as it can get right now......and i'm sure the terrorists are ready to come in and make a hit....I mean....it's a perfect setting for them to strike isn't it? I mean that's what George does, hit em when their down....He is so immature, so naive, so unaware, so fucking chavinistically arrogant, shame on Laura Bush for even staying with him! Yuk! Puke!

If George had any Brains at all, this would be his reason for pulling out of Iraq with some dignity....to care for his own people at home.
But like I said...he is a bonafide DUMBFUCK.
May Goddess bless and protect us all......

Hes...

This is definitely not Bushco's finest hour. You can't blame a natural disaster on the federal government, of course, but where was the response? Why is adequate military assistance only now just arriving along the Gulf coast, four full days after the disaster? To me, this is just inexcusable.

[hester_prynne]

Yes it is, it is inexcusable, embarrassing and shameful.
And when you look up things like weather warfare, it's frightening.
And when you realize that the federal money earmarked to fix those levys was diverted to iraq, despite several years of ignored requests to fix them, it's abominable, heartbreaking, frustrating.
It does not represent the America I thought I lived in.....
This whole flooding disaster could have been avoided......!
And, isn't it amazing how quickly they can put martial law in place. I don't believe there was really that much "looting" as they like to call it. I think people were just grabbing necessities out of stores, because the proprietors had split and weren't there, but they desperately needed things, like diapers, food, milk, formula etc... to survive! and it was going to be destroyed by the floodwaters anyway!!!!!! But no, they got make it worthy of martial law and military force...
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Man oh man, if people get as angry as I think they are going to get about this whole mess, I fear we could have a civil war on our hands!

The blame should not go to President Bush only, I don't think, though it is so disturbing and embarrassing, his little visit there, and saying they're doing the best they can. Then Laura came on tv and that was embarrassing, too. It was like they made it sound like it was all moving along smoothly and everybody was being taken care of and that's just so untrue! I mean, all you have to do is turn on the TV and watch the footage to SEE that they are spinning the truth bigtime and it's soooo sad... I'm so hurt right along with these people. I am absolutely certain that SOME are doing the best they can! There are a lot of rescue missions which have been successful and a lot of brave and hard-working people giving their time and help. But something is way wrong. It's not nearly as quick as it should be! Why don't the people at the convention center have water and rations? Why????

The blame should go somewhere! FEMA, perhaps. I don't know who's responsible for this lack of response. But it's appalling! There is absolutely NO reason why choppers could not have flown in and dropped water and rations to the people stranded at the convention center and they should have done this 4 days ago! There is no excuse! None!

They didn't need to have a place to land. All they needed was to hover in helicopters and provide rations. Hell, we do that for refugees in other countries, for crissake!

I truly do not understand why the response has been so slow! I just watched a fleet of boats (or amphibious trucks??) which are arriving and the reporter said they had supplies. Hopefully this is the case and relief is coming soon. But it is way too late for some.

I don't pray often, any more. But I'm praying now! This situation will have vast, far-reaching effects on our entire nation for years to come, in ways we can only imagine now. I hope to hell they have SOME plan to clean up the water before they dump it back into the lake which feeds into the Gulf of Mexico!

And this also makes me shake my head and cringe.... The National Guard troops which ARE there are there for the purpose of "law & order." It's appalling. They came carrying guns, not water, not food! WHERE are the priorities? I'm stunned. Angry. Heartbroken.

I am not crying. Grief is such a numb feeling for me. I feel stunned

Idiot Wind
Blowing every time you open your mouth
You're an Idiot
Its a wonder you still know how to breath

Kilpatrick (mayor) want to host somewhere around 3000 people in Detroit, if an airline will fly them for free.

[stilltrucking]

NOt sure if you are speaking TO me michael, but it don't matter. Cause it is true for both me and Bush.

What I have is a morbid curiostiy hester. Will they be able to spin this to make him look PRESIDENTIAL
Can they make it work for him like 9/11
The polls taken right after Katrina gave him a ten percent bounce in his numbers. Will it last? Does it matter? Will he give Brown of Fema a presidential medal?

Bush's 38% approval rating - Even Katrina trumps Bush

Bush is in Arizona right now hoping to get live coverage of his speech. Fortunately, the networks know that the emergency situations occurring in LA, MS and AL are far more important that listening to the stepford like speeches.
