all I think about when thinking about "W" is cruise control.
a ship without a sail.
From the WWL-TV Katrina blog...
WASHINGTON (AP): The Bush administration is getting harsh criticism from two top Democrats concerning the Hurricane Katrina relief effort.
Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid is demanding to know if President Bush's Texas vacation hampered relief efforts. Reid has sent a letter to the chair of the Senate's Homeland Security Committee, calling for a wide-ranging investigation.
Meanwhile, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi is characterizing Bush as "oblivious" and "in denial."
She made the comment as she revealed that during a White House meeting yesterday, she had called on Bush to fire the head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency. She says Bush responded, "Why would I do that?"
Pelosi says FEMA chief Michael Brown has "absolutely no credentials."
The criticism comes as Bush is asking lawmakers for an additional $51.8 billion for recovery efforts.
So now Bush's vacation caused Nagin to stall the evacuation, the governor to not sign over control to the NG, FEMA's mess, etc.?
I bet they think he has a secret weather generator in Crawford, too...

This is really getting out of control. Even if everthing went perfectly, the finger pointing would still happen.
What does a Bush hater do when they are not "hatin'"?
Dear Senator Reid,Reid has sent a letter to the chair of the Senate's Homeland Security Committee, calling for a wide-ranging investigation.
No.

Senate Homeland Security Committee
I think it's official. I think our society has officially lost its humanity.
Far too many are more wrapped up in political posturing than in resolving the human side of this problem. It's been true since last week and its still just as annoying.
Wouldn't congressional time and resources be better spent in trying to actually make a difference for the people facing this crisis? I guess the answer is no. Why worry about the problems faced by all the people whose lives have been suddenly and indelibly been altered by this catastrophe when there's political hay to make?!?!?!?!?
Yep. I guess we never really leave junior high.

Screw the problems faced by all the people whose lives have been suddenly and indelibly been altered by this catastrophe. Why worry about such trifling issues when there's political hay to make?!?!?!?!?
Sad.
Begins? Where have you been the last 4 years and 9 months?

Hummm..when the Republicans needed to pass a bill to kiss up to the right-wing cons uents in the whole Terry Schiavo fiasco, W, while on another vacation, flew to Washington overnight, but when a devastated New Orleans needed emergency funding and some federal over-sight in the critical search and rescue phase W flew to a fund-raiser in San Diego, flew back to Crawford, took 3 days to fly over the disaster zone, and after arriving in Washington, took another day to sign a bill and convene Congress. Kind of shows yaw where the Rights priorities are.
No it hasn't. Just check the donation totals, and the number of volunteers.I think it's official. I think our society has officially lost its humanity.
Don't think some loudmouths using the TV are going to take away what America is, fundamentally.
accept it libs
he'll be on vacation most anytime you can think of and there is nothing you Sore Losermans can do about it!
Yeah, that's an excellent point. I'm so damned tired of the politicization of this thing that I went hyperbolic. You're exactly right.
Unfortunately, the loudest among us don't seem to have any real interest in much beyond political posturing. Thankfully, those who choose not to pipe up say so much more by their actions.
So now your either with the victims or against them? Working for a right-wing station does strange things to a liberal-at-heart.
No, you're either human or a mindnumbing partisan bore.
I'm an American damnit!!!
Dan you dont even believe your own manshake spewing from your mouf! W couldnt do anything to alleviate NO! FEMA is only limited to rescuing limited numbers of people in dire situations. FEma does not own their own bus line twad!
The point is is that busses were needed and NO mayor ed up.! you could have all the helicopters and troop envoys going to NO but it would of taken longer than using city buses which are made specifically for busing!
Everyone knows your stroking yourself while all the carnage is happening so that hopefully the president will look bad at this. You havent shed one greif through all this. off!
Dan's standard operating procedure!
Same as Clinton.. we tried to dig up dirt on him and dried semen.
Same with Bush.. I am sure they always try to get Condi's old clothes..
I'l admit, Bush should have cut the vacation shorter and head on to Washington the day before the hurricane hit. The outcome would have been the same, and the left would probably said he was playing on people's emotions, but atleast would woudn't be hearing like what Reid said.
If it's not one thing, it's another. I'm sure the left is just looking out for the little guy though.
Another tool in the conservative bag of tricks.
Maybe Dan is politicizing it, but it would seem only because he does care about what happened to these people, and wants to know who is responsible for the botched relief efforts. I guess you can twist it like he is just trying to make Bush look bad in front of some asses on a website, and then he will use it to catapult himself to site president. NBAdan for spurstalk.com president 2005. Not really, I'd vote for republiclandestino.
Stick around this board a little while longer. Plenty of people here decided who was responsible as soon as the possibility of a deadly storm was revealed by the NHC.Maybe Dan is politicizing it, but it would seem only because he does care about what happened to these people, and wants to know who is responsible for the botched relief efforts.
No sir! As soon as the state of N.O. was declared a disaster area and Bush didn't come to N.O. until about Thursday that was it for me. It could have been Clinton.It could have been the Pope but don't you as an American,as a TEXAN,aren't you ashamed that even the Venezuelan President/Dictator is offerring help before Bush moves his ass? Common SENSE! I know where alot of people here in Texas are coming from but PLEASE!
10's of USA $Ms and many moths of distraction on Repug witch hunts and impeachment against Clintons (Whitewater and blow-jobs) came first. Absolutely nothing came of either witch hunt, and nobody died.
How can Repugs and red-staters when bi-partisan "witch hunts" seek to know why 1000's died and a city was destroyed by shrub/Repug incompetence?
You people are so tough when you're dishing it out, but when when it comes to being on the receiving end, a bunch of whining wimps. What goes round, comes round.
