But I agree that the smear machine is what it is–their God given right to lie. It doesn’t square with WWJD? but they don’t care. They never did.

Yes, he did. Thank you.

Somehow, all the while, every TV reporter could get into the City. The newspaper staff could get out. WalMart and Harry Connick, Jr. could bring tractor-trailers into the City. Continuous live TV coverage was broadcast day after day.

But, somehow, the leader of the most powerful nation on Earth could not find a way into the City. I was here in Florida after the 2004 storms. He was on the roadside with his brother, Pumpkin-Head, handing bottles of water to storm victims.

Stewart: “So, in your opinion, what could or should the government have done differently without running afoul of civil right’s concerns?”

Maddow: “The first thing the goverment should have done is have a plan. The single scariest thing about this entire response and everything we’ve learned in the last two days was the statement by the head of the CDC, Julie Gerberding, when she actually said, we just kind of had to make up the plan as we went along.”

He also had the power (no pun intended) to bring electricity to a location in N.O. for the all-important speech to the country (remember the plain blue shirt he wore that let the common folk know he was “one of us”?) telling us how concerned he was, and then took that electricity away when he was done spouting his concerns.

Chimpy doesn’t listen to no stinking scientists! If it ain’t in the Bible, it ain’t true!

Why don’t they just say that?

The President had 5 days foreknowledge that Hurricane Katrina would make landfall in the United States, did he not?

The difference in response, therefore, is SIX DAYS!

The President has helicopters and boats at his disposal, does he not?

Your attempt at explanation is pathetic.

Also, President Bush was also spot on when it came to ignoring those warnings about 9/11, and then smearing those who intimated that he had received such warnings. He was also right to ignore all those liberal experts who said that an occupation of Iraq would be extremely difficult, would require many more troops than he was committing, and would likely create and engender terrorists, especially given that we had not finished the job in Afghanistan.

You are absolutely right about everything today, just as you have been dead on about everything over the last 7 years. Douche.

Even though your comments are off-topic, I have this to say:

Well, isn’t he? Just look at Mike “Brownie” Brown, someone appointed to a position with FEMA that had no fking experience whatsoever in emergency management. We also later learned he was apparently quite concerned with the way he looked in front of a camera (obviously an important topic to ponder while others’ lives are being lost) and who at one point was too busy to involve himself in the situation because he couldn’t be interrupted from feeding his face.

Apparently the administration is licking its wounds from the heat it took when Bush was too busy eating birthday cake and fantasizing about being a country singer while the worst hurricane to hit the southern coast bore down on us. A storm that, contrary to the Bush administration’s claims that “we couldn’t have anticipated…”, was in fact anticipated by every other scientist and meteorologist but for some odd reason ignored by Bush and Co. even after they were warned in advance of it’s destructive potential.

Thank goodness, Wayne. I wish we could get them home….
