Bush visit irks some San Diego firefighters.
Bush visit irks some San Diego firefighters.
The San Diego Union Tribune writes that Bush’s visit yesterday annoyed some firefighters because it caused massive traffic jams, preventing them from getting much-needed food and rest:
Residents finally returning to their homes in Rancho Bernardo were stuck in traffic for hours while the presidential motorcade passed through, and delays left firefighters longing for food and showers. [...]
Still covered in ashes, firefighters Danny Chandler and Chris Cortright from Mount Laguna waited in the back of a pickup. They could see the showers and the food tent, but the president’s visit kept them and dozens of other firefighters from moving. Chandler had been fighting the fire in Ramona for 24 hours. Cortright had been at it for 48 hours. “I appreciate him being here,” Chandler said, drinking Gatorade as he waited in the sun. “But they could have organized this better. I’d just as soon eat.”

Yep, like obtaining good legal counsel for his after term indictments for war crimes. That is going to be fun to watch. you think the repubs eat their own now, just wait until the subpeonas start showing up at their doorstep. All those cowards are going to sing like canaries. Good times…

Would the president suggest that there be a necessity of more fires so that he could keep the National Guard and firefighters employed fighting fires in California just like he does to our troops and National Guard in Iraq?

Check out how many Dems who speak up have “been killed in air crashes ” against Repubs. We can only hope Cheney, Bush, the most evil of evil will die and Americans will finally take back their government.

Almost as insensitive as Bush criticizing Blanco for him ignoring Katrina:
BATON ROUGE –As the California wildfires continued to rage Thursday, so too did the political feud between President Bush and Gov. Kathleen Blanco that has smoldered since the federal government’s slow response to Hurricane Katrina.
October 26th, 2007 at 4:12 pmThe latest flare-up came when Bush, while touring the California disaster area, took an apparent swipe at Blanco’s post-Katrina leadership as he complimented California
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.
“It makes a significant difference when you have somebody in the statehouse willing to take the lead,” Bush said, according to the Associated Press.

October 26th, 2007 at 4:13 pm# 18 Well Blackwater murderers get $600 a day while our married troops get $170.00 a day, and word has it Blackwater has been told to keep a low profile for awhile, so your $300 man is probably bored with no innocent children to kill right now.
October 26th, 2007 at 4:13 pmAnd yet if Bush had waited, or not done, photo ops, people would be complaining about how he doesn’t care enough, just like they did when he didn’t immediately go to New Orleans and the surrounding area after Katrina.
This seems to be a damned if you do, damned if you don’t situation.
October 26th, 2007 at 4:16 pmAnd it was terribly insensitive of Boxer to try to use this tragedy to score political points by bashing the war and, by extension, the Bush administration.

October 26th, 2007 at 4:23 pmTC Don, you are doing yourself no favors by making inaccurate statements about Edwards. I believe you are confusing the episode with Clinton many years back (for which the right punditocracy howled already) when he snarled air traffic at LAX. John Edwards did no such thing. Stooping to calling him “Breck girl” I think is really beneath you. You often make good points here and get called a troll. Please don’t act like one by inaccurately stating the facts.

#27 – Check your facts, there was NO ICY weather, two pilots had just landed with no problem. The Beechcraft King Air 100 with a twin turbo prop could handle the load. Also with 2 very competent pilots. It was determined something interfered with the instrument landing gear. per Carol Carmody of National Transportation Dept and FBI. Which strangely enough arrived on the scence BEFORE the local police had called them. In fact they would have had to leave when Wellstone left to get to the remote airstrip the same time he did. Hmmmmmm.

I sense that TCDon is locked in a personal struggle to convince himself that the Democrats are somehow worse than his chosen leader. Voted for Bush twice, eh Don? A little buyer’s remorse going on there? How does it feel to see your leader lose two wars? Is it getting hard to lower the bar another notch every day for this corrupt and incompetent administration? I would imagine so. Keep playing the equivalence game, Don. Somehow each day you will labor to convince yourself that some little thing or other a Democrat did compares to Chimpy McFlightsuit’s disastrous presidency.
October 26th, 2007 at 4:30 pmThere is absolutely no tragedy that Bush won’t shamelessly exploit for a photo-op.
No morals or sense of decency or shame.
October 26th, 2007 at 4:31 pmAgain TC Don you are acting very trollish — the 11% rating is not of Pelosi/Reid. It is of the entire Congress (bit I think you know that) — which last I heard had quite a few Republicans in it who have stayed mostly lockstep with the disfavored policies of the administration. The 25% approval, on the other hand, is of Bush — one person and no other.

Hey even when Poppy Bush came to Houston, everything had to be shut down and no one really hated him.
I think Bush could have done the photo op away from the scene after touring the damage with Arnold. Have a little compassion for the fire fighters…oh wait who am I talking about…Mr. Could give a shit Bush.

“That’s cold. Very cold.”
No, it’s the truth. And I have friends who lost their homes in San Diego and another one in one the fires. So, Californians have always hold their own through the good and bad. And as one of the bloggers mentioned in a previous posting, the emergency evacuation went very well. So, Pelosi, Reid, and even Bush have their work cut out in winning the hearts and integrity of the American people and not just California. But, fact remains is that Bush is not popular in California currently. The Presidential election showed that in 2000 and 2004. And I hope that the cuprit or/and cuprits who set those fires get caught.

October 26th, 2007 at 5:53 pmThe wine press was not at all difficult. I started with three wheels recovered from 16″ child’s bikes, cut oak slats on my rip saw, screwed same to bike wheels through holes provided for spokes, Created two round poly circles, a bit less in diameter than the inner diameter of the prior assemblage and reinforced the one that would be uppermost with a 10 inch square of 2 inch oak, Built a frame out of two inch oak that had an up-down dimension of 18 inches and a side to side dimension of 16 inchres, ran 1/2 inch threaded rods from top to bottom frame pieces, screwed poly tray to bottom frame member, screwed other poly circle to the center of the poly tray, bought a scissor jack to provide the pressure. Note: Use surgical jelly or Vasoline to lubricate the jack. Also use stainless steel hardware except for the threaded rods.

Right. One of the things Rudy is going to have to explain before he becomes President is how and why he employs a child molester in his campaign. He might want to explain to the American people what he was thinking when he refused to provide the upgrade to the firefighters and police communication systems which would have saved hundreds of lives on 9-11. And, I’ll be waiting for his explanation on what he was thinking when he brought his mistress into the house while his wife and children were sleeping there. Will he explain his flip-flopping on abortion? Will republicans refer to him as a “baby killer” like they have Democrats for all these years?
Hey cultist. You can dream, but my suggestion is that you don’t get your hopes up. Last time this buggy-eyed, creepy fascist went up against Hillary Clinton, he came up lame and dropped out barely a third of the way there.

Let alone preparing the whole invasion before the UN resolution according to Ruperez, Aznar´s FM. Let alone seizing the oil ministry in Baghdad after the invasion. Let alone the use of WP. Let alone Abu GHraib. Let alone no WMDs. Let alone Haditha. Let no Al-Qaeda /Saddam link. Let alone a trillion waste of money. Let alone almost 4000 American soldiers without attending a single funeral. Let alone “mission accomplished”…
*sigh*
But you won… hehehehe.

Yes, the people are just going to looooove Queen Guiani III, especially when they get a load of the fact that she used to kill puppies in the process of doing sales demonstrations of medical equipment. Puppy-killing. The public always responds to something like that.
October 26th, 2007 at 6:33 pmRHF — guess what — I don’t give a flying fu#k what you choose to believe and won’t waste my time persuading you of anything. You are not worth it, imasmuch as you have prejudged me. Perhaps, that is how your little immature mind works.

October 26th, 2007 at 6:42 pmOne is called “NoMoreBush” and the other is “republicans hate facts” and they’re at eachother’s throats. Guys, guys, easy. From what I’ve seen of both of your posts, you seem to be largely on the same side. There’s no need to get pissy with fellow lefties and there’s no need to demand ideological purity from all posters. Let’s just agree that Bush is the worst president in history, republicans have ruined their own modern conservative movement and our society is possibly on the verge of a new era of progressive ideas and legislation.
October 26th, 2007 at 7:01 pmAnd now let’s all say President Clinton.
See how much fun that is?
Bush is the absolute worst thing that has happened to America. The only shiny part of his black cloud is that he has done irreparable harm to the Repugnicunt Party. He has been the left’s best argument. We can say all day long how evil these sick fcks are, but we are dismissed because we have BDS. But when middle America sees with their own eyes the putrid actions, they are convinced.
You won/stole the last elections but it was a Pyrhic victory. We own your asses in 2009 and into the future.
Take a suck a that neocons.
October 26th, 2007 at 7:09 pmnanlichi, as of today, I have candidates whom I prefer to Clinton, but I have to admit that it will be inspiring to finally hear someone bellow “Madame President!” on the floor of congress. The fact that we haven’t heard that before is a disgrace to our democracy.
October 26th, 2007 at 7:13 pmactually BDS is an affliction of the right wing, not the left. we see things clearly, they’re the ones in the thrall of the worst president in our history. if anyone is deranged over Bush, it’s that handful that still believes anything he ever says or said, while ignoring all he’s done and hasn’t done. 9/11, anyone? say no m ore. 9/11 is Bush’s legacy for the remainder of history: the most massive failure of national security in out history. bush failed to defend the PENTAGON. Never forget; Republicans suck at national security.
October 26th, 2007 at 7:14 pm#186 — a name-calling rant of an immature child whose diaper needs changing. How precious you are. I am sure someone out there must like you — but that is huge assumption. Trust me, I’ll wear the fact you think I am an idiot as a badge of honor. I have posted no general smear or prejudged “everyone” here. My post previously was directed solely at one poster — Shayne — no one else, no generalizations, no judging “everyone” here, as your infantile little rant inaccurately states. You decided to jump in (univited) because you are big-mouthed little child who shouts first and reads later. And this blog’s purpose is certainly not to persuade someone like you who cannot debate a single point without throwing out “troll”, “stupid” and “idiot” like a little infantile brat. WTF — you have no clue what a blog is for. It’s not for you to unleash your unbehaved Id on the rest of us.
October 26th, 2007 at 7:25 pmRHF — please cite where I said Bush did just fine. You need to read — can you read without unleashing your venom first? I said he was in a no win situation whether he went or not — he would be criticized. I clearly did not say that it was a swell idea that he and his entourage go and disrupt the efforts in California. Please cite where I said that his travel to SD showed competent leadership. My point was one — that he would be criticized if went or did not go. If he hovered over, it would be like when he hovered over NO after Katrina. You have extrapolated irrationally that I somehow said what he did was fine and called me a troll, idiot and stupid for good measure. Try reading more carefully and less ranting.

How typical you’re making the thread about you and your feelings instead of the topic of the thread. And you don’t think you’re trolling. Uneffingbelievable.
