The first anniversary of a huge natural disaster compounded by stunning human ups, in real-time shown round the world as the Repugs showed how they can up the most powerful country in the history of universe, is a worthy candidate for a 1st anniversary celebration. It's no surprise that even Fox is making a big deal of how their Repugs ed it up.
What is self-condemning is dubya showing up to spin NO/FEMA disaster in his favor.
A great comment I heard this week was that when you are an anti-government conservative in power, your own willful incompetence in governing proves your ideology that government is bad.
What would you have said if he hadn't been there?
Apparently nothing they do will ever be right....
At least he was on the ground this time.
Yeah, the er should have been helping the NOPD catch looters.
"Apparently nothing they do will ever be right"
'boa, it looks like you're finally beginning to see the light (at least on dubya).
I'm so tired of hearing about the Katrina aftermath in New Orleans. It wasn't even the hardest hit area. The Mississippi gulf coast was devastated - whole towns were completely wiped out. But we don't hear or see much media coverage about Mississippi.
I saw a segment on the 700 Club the other night about the Mississippi gulf coast and they are recovering much better than New Orleans. The Mayor of Gulfport said their economy is booming and the tax base is growing. In Biloxi, almost all of the casinos have been rebuilt and are open for business. Over 90% of the debris has been cleared and people are rebuilding. They showed volunteers from just one Church group that have rebuilt 30 homes in the last year! The biggest obstacle they are facing is the delay in getting insurance money.
The difference between New Orleans and Mississippi? Republican leadership instead of Democratic!
I heard on the news this morning that there is a group that is suing FEMA to stop them from evicting Katrina evacuees. These are people who have been getting free housing for a year! Most of these people have been sucking on the govt all their lives and are too lazy to take care of themselves - it's rather disgusting!
Gotta love the ignorant dumbasses who still can't understand the scope of this disaster in New Orleans and get all their news from Pat Robertson.
Have you spent time down there Champ? Stop talking out of your ass if you haven't. I've been in and out of there for months at a time. Spend some time there before calling other peoples points of view dumb.
Are you Crookshanks?
You are dumb if you can't figure out who I was talking to.
In fact this is your first post in this thread, so you are a complete dumbass for thinking I'm talking to you.
You ing idiot..where did I say you were talking to me? I was referring to your post in response the the post DIRECTLY above your's.
So what is your point, dumbass? Are you saying I'm overestimating the damage in NOLA?
Thank you Snake! And Chump - if you wouldn't always jump to conclusions, you might learn something.
The 700 Club had reporters on the scene in Mississippi and they interviewed lots of regular people - average people who had lost almost everything, but are rebuilding and the poor widows who are very thankful to the church groups who rebuilt their homes - at no cost to them!!
Oh and BTW - the 700 Club has had a whole contingent of volunteers on the ground in New Orleans for the past year - helping out wherever they could. I would hazard a guess that they have done far more for the people of New Orleans than any govt agency!
Quit being so hostile to religious organizations!
I'm glad they helped and it's great they have a TV show to pat themselves on the back while pushing their political agenda.
You're not underestimating the damage but I'm disagreeing with you calling the other guy an idiot for posting what he did. Why is he an idiot? What the do you know about whats going on down there other than what you see on TV?
They didn't do it to pat themselves on the back. Every other news channel was doing reports on Katrina - why not the 700 Club? Anyway, the segment on Mississippi didn't have ANYTHING to do with the 700 Club - they were just reporting on what others were doing. And the information about the volunteers in New Orleans was mentioned in passing, not as part of the reporter's interview.
Speaking of political agendas, did anyone see e Lee's Katrina do entary (if you can call it that) on HBO last night?
Because all shanks wants to do is parrot the talking points she saw on tv yesterday.Since you said I'm right about the damage it looks like I do know something, apparently. Tell me what I need to know since you know everything that's going on there.What the do you know about whats going on down there other than what you see on TV?
Nope.
Don't plan to.
They were also patting themselves on the back. It was pretty sickening.I've seen enough of the 700 Club to know how it works.Anyway, the segment on Mississippi didn't have ANYTHING to do with the 700 Club - they were just reporting on what others were doing. And the information about the volunteers in New Orleans was mentioned in passing, not as part of the reporter's interview.
What were you implying with the following:
Were you calling the poster a dumbass for the post itself or the fact that he/she was referring to a segment on the 700 Club?
The sentence is pretty clear.
Tell me what I need to know.
Typical.
