    Nice. Too bad the National Guard units are being shot at in Baghdad. They could have come in real handy about now.


  2. Citizen80203 says:

    Thank god we don’t really live in the Matrix with Bush using photoshop.


  3. Frank Lynch says:

    It could be legit: it’s quite possible that’s from one of his visits to Florida after its several hurricanes.


  4. Zookeeper says:

    Bush is supposed to be speaking from the White House this afternoon. He about flew through the mess to get from Crawford to Washington. He’s disgusting.


  5. Zookeeper says:

    Where ever there might be death and destruction. Georgie distances himself — unless it can used for political gain.


  6. Spudge-Boy says:

    George Bush is a bastard. I wonder if he had time to finish “My Pet Goat” while people were drowning.



  7. Joe Sixpack says:

    Someone said Bush was “all hat and no cattle.” I’m starting to think he’s not really a cowboy at all, but some eastern Yale-dude transplant.

    Hi I’m in the process of redesigning the Whitehouse website with a picture of the President on what he was doing when New Orleans was hit.

    Can you help me choose from the two pictures below? Thanks!

    That’s not photoshop. Bush made a flyover visit aboard Virgin Galactic.

    Wanna show compassion for hurricane victims, Mr. President? Bring the National Guard back home. Immediately. They are trained to save lives, not to kill.


  11. Darth Filibustrous says:

    #9 – I’d choose the cake-eating picture. Resonates with what a Queen once said during starvation, “Let them eat cake”


  12. Darth Filibustrous says:

    NO Mayor just said that ‘Thousands’ could be dead. He was right to say this is our tsunami.


  13. Hank says:

    There was a poor black family on the news last night who returned home to find that looters had taken what few possessions they owned. The devistated woman was in tears. Darth, I think she would have chosen the cake-eating picture, too, because Bush was smiling instead of wearing his usual smirk.

    Zookeeper….you’re the greatest….you just keep taking the words right out of my mouth.

    Hay, Joe Six Pack, your right, Bush is not a native cowboy, on Texacan. Kenny bunk pork, mane (sp) wrong on purpose. doesn’t nor ever had cowboys and think that’s where the coward of Crawford is from.


  17. Marie says:

    There is little in defense of the boy-king. He is a natural disaster.
    The hurricane was a national disaster — the flooding of the cities is man-made — namely Bush, aided by Haley Barbour and others. Bush who eliminated the funding the the shoring up of the levees as was started in the mid-90’s, and Barbour for aiding Bush in getting the Kyoto treaty squashed.
    FEMA warned of this potential disaster in 2001! Bush ignored it like he ignored the PDB announcing Bin Laden’s plans to attack America.
    He is a revolting POS – a disgusting frat-boy – a greedy and selfish, self-serving person who obviously never pays attention to sermons while in church. Oh, wait – I forgot, he likes Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, and Billy Graham — they who hate all Arabs, women, and love money and power – he listens to those sermons very attentively.


  18. st says:

    You’re right, Marie.

    It wasn’t a natural disaster, but a failure to take preemptive measures.

    Last year, when Hurricane Charlie landed in Port Charlotte, Fl. So did Bush! My entire family lives in Port Charlotte and many had damage to their homes from Charlie. But Charlie was nothing like Katrina. Bush used Charlie as an excuse to visit good ‘ol Jeb and help shore up his numbers with a red state, slowly turning blue. Well Bush doesn’t have another brother in Lousiana or Mississippi, so why stop the plane? I guess that would almost be like working. Georgie doesn’t do ‘work’, he just likes to explain ho much “hard work’ it is fo fight a war, which he also has never done. What a piece of crap! Join me and about 250,000 others on the White House lawn on Sept. 24th to demand an end to the war, and to demand for the impeachment of Georgie!
