That seems like quite a nice slam against the Republican party, with a little poke at his own religion thrown in for good measure. A snide atheist radical might have made the very same joke, as a put-down of Republicans and Southern Baptist minister phonies.

Can someone please explain to me in what strange twisted mental context would the likes of Limbaugh and Huckabee even find such a joke humorous?

Make up your own guest list…..LOL!!!

He has also been accused of saying “The flooding of New Orleans is a sign that God is tired of seeing his creation mocked by the Mardi Gras and its perverted display of debauchery and exposed breasts.” http://en.thinkexist.com/quotes/pat_robertson/2.html

In short, I wonder why he doesn’t fly to NOLA, stand at the levee, and raise his hands like Moses parting the Red Sea

Well, let’s see how that goes.

Praying is like “wishing in one hand and crapping in the other” to see which one fills up first. Praying to divert the path of a hurricane is like crapping in BOTH hands.

The Rev.’s are busy burnishing their Old Testament roots. If only Israel had parts of its below sea level, like New Orleans.

Oooopss, Lake Galilee is 700 feet below sea level and the Dead Sea over 1,200 feet below sea level.

However, if Gustav does ANY serious damage, I shudder to think what will happen with gas/fuel prices. When one considers that much of the recent spike happened without any interruptions in supply, it would be logical to assume that the sky’s the limit if a couple platforms, refineries, or depots take damage. And it sure as Hell won’t be cheap to take off for the upcoming holiday weekend, not to mention the price of driving home!

Well. At least we can be reassured that all the “hurricane-proof” oil assets in the Gulf won’t cause any problems.

Yes, remember, when you see pictures of big black streaks in the Gulf after a hurricane, it’s just dirt or seafoam.

Not.

This conclusively proves two things. Firstly, that God exists. Secondly, that She’s got a Sick sense of humor. That’s the Only way something like this could Possibly happen.
Impeach Pelosi, Cheney and Bush and Save the Constitution. Ramen Lives!

God CLEARLY has a sense of humor just look at the Platypus

Hey don’t distract me, I’m trying to pray neo conservativism off the planet .

I would settle for a small island in the South Pacific if they would only STAY there. I dont want to appear to vindictive. If you can pull it off though I wont complain

Not to mention the various laws they passed preventing locals from helping rebuild their own community. Rather, towns miles and miles away got funneled millions of Katrina dollars to build, hold your breath, vacation resorts.

That is what Bu$h and the GOP are all about.

The Bush flooding of New Orleans: an unnatural disaster.

To the Editor:

“We don’t care, we don’t care” was the chant of pro-war, pro-Bush hecklers across the street from the Camp Casey peace vigil in Crawford, Texas in late August, 2005. This “we don’t care” chant pretty much sums up the attitude of the Bush Syndicate (B. S.) towards the rest of us in America. Actually, Bush, Cheney and the rest of this idiotic neo-con government believes that the only true function of the federal government is to create private money-making opportunities for themselves, their friends, and their corporate contributors. Any activity other than waging aggressive war to steal and colonize other countries’ natural resources falls into the category of “we don’t care.”

The Bush flood of New Orleans happened after the massive Hurricane Katrina had passed the city. It was both predictable and preventable. The Bush flood and the slow-as-molasses-in-January Bush response to it has ripped off the facade of the inept Bush Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and its subsidiary, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The upper echelons of both of these massive federal bureaucracies have been staffed by incompetent and uncaring Bush buddies, cronies, hacks, frat brothers, former roommates, horse attorneys, contributors and other miscellaneous nincompoops. In making his appointments to the executive management of DHS and FEMA, Bush gave little if any thought to their actual qualifications in the field of emergency management.

Over the last several years, Bush and the GOP-controlled House and Senate have poured over one hundred billion tax dollars into “Homeland Security.” What did we get as the federal response to Hurricane Katrina? We got homeland stupidity. After the massive flooding of New Orleans, which initially covered about eighty percent of the city, thousands of residents were herded to the Superdome where they denied water, food, medicine, bedding, toilet facilities and police protection for several long days, meanwhile the Bush gang partied and carried on with their “business as usual” and “let them eat cake” imperial attitudes. George strummed his guitar, raised campaign funds, cut cake with Senator McCain, while Connie Rice did her Imelda Marcos imitation, shopping for expensive shoes in New York City before going to a Broadway play, while Cheney first went on vacation, fishing in Wyoming and then mansion shopping in Maryland, and Rumsfeld went to a professional ball game.

In the first several days of the flooding of New Orleans cable news reporters had to point out the severity of the suffering of thousands of people in the Superdome to the heads of FEMA and DHS. These two had apparently followed the lead of the ever-clueless Bush by not watching the unfolding disaster being revealed on television.

The searing images of human suffering that were shown on television in the first several days after the flooding of New Orleans showed thousands of poor people herded into the Louisiana Superdome and the New Orleans Convention Center without any water, any food, any medicines, any toilet facilities, any bedding or any police protection.

The conduct of the inept corrupt Bush regime in this unnatural disaster (the Bush flood and the slow spastic Bush response of flood relief) is nothing short of criminal. Since the illegitimate Bush regime came to power in January 2001, they have allowed and encouraged massive developments in the natural low-lying wetlands around New Orleans. The presence of these wetlands traditionally helped to protect New Orleans from the storm surges which accompany hurricanes.

The first actions of FEMA after Hurricane Katrina and Flood Bush struck New Orleans was to try to stop almost all of the volunteer, state and federal help from coming into the disaster area. FEMA blocked volunteer help from WalMart, the Coast Guard, the Red Cross, AMTRAK, hundreds of airboats from Florida, the City of Chicago emergency teams, Loudoun County (Virginia) sheriffs, the Nevada police, the New Mexico National Guard, fire-fighting planes from the U. S. Forest Service and even the U. S. Bataan, a hospital ship stationed in the Gulf of Mexico. FEMA also stopped or ignored offers of help from foreign countries including Canada, Cuba and Venezuela, over twenty European counties and Asian countries including Iran and India.

One supposes that volunteer help and aid undercuts the Bush Syndicates system of private corporations making bags of money off of the Bush war on Iraq and the Bush expedited flooding of New Orleans.

It is troubling to see many no-bid federal contracts being given to large corporations for reconstruction along the Gulf Coast. The terms of “no-bid contracts” mean that the corporations get to charge their profits as a percentage of costs incurred, so there is no incentive to be thrifty; in fact, it is the opposite, the more money that the corporate contractor spends on construction, the higher their corporate profits. Add to this the fact that Bush just signed an executive order that suspended the traditional requirement that federal contractors must pay labor the prevailing wages, instead the federal contractors can now pay workers as little as minimum wage. So the folks who are the poorest, get kicked again by Bush. He kicks ‘em again when they’re down.

New Orleans should be rebuilt on a cooperative local basis. Habitat for Humanity should be the model used for the reconstruction of the many flood-damaged homes in New Orleans. As many physically-able local residents as possible should be employed in the reconstruction of their neighborhoods.

Yours truly,
