“California’s C-130s were not equipped to fight fires.”

Umm...you may want to equip a couple of those for next years fire.

Nevada, PLEASE vote this moron out of office in 2010.

I think they will, and I think Harry knows it. At this point, his only hope for continued power, and even income, is to so ingratiate himself to the Soros crowd that they'll take care of him in his dotage. Ain't gonna happen. They'll dump him like a hot potato as soon as he ceases to be of value to them!

It's on the schedule, believe me.

At least the posters have been kind so far....no "Nuke Nevada!" to get rid of the Dingy One.....

I don't need to say he is an idiot, everyone knows that.

What I do need is for all of you to blast his office with questions like.......

"How is an arson started fire related to global warming?"

or

"Since when is the POTUS responsible for an act of arson?"

or

"Who is in control of the state of Kali - the Stretched Face One and her buddy Boxme or the Enviro-Nazi's?"

or

"Shut up, moron. You are embarrassing yourself and the intelligent voters in your state!"

Your help is needed, urgently!

What was the name of that little putz from South Dakota....?

Haha...I knew there was a reason why Nevada is the only state where they test nuclear weapons.

Reports are coming in suggesting the fires may be arson.

Does that mean that AlGore started them?

Super serial picture of George Bush piling up brush in California right before he set the state on fire. Bush was heard to say "I hope some kids get hurt because I made sure they don't have health care". Shortly thereafter Bush was told that some American soldiers had been killed and he laughed really really hard. /spewing sarcasm off

First:
Dingy Harry is a crapweasel, and just proved it.

Second: Malibu burns all the freakin’ time, this isnt anything new. So Cal has fires EVERY Santa Ana wind season.

Third: Most of these folks DIDNT clear the brush away from their houses like they’ve been told to.

Fourth: California USED to have C-130(Prop-jet, more or less, being turboprops) firefighting aircraft. The FAA grounded them after a very tired C-130A with something like 25,000 flight hours had a main wing spar failure ( the wing folded upwards IN FLIGHT.. that can ruin your whole day)Now we don’t have those anymore. We have S-2’s, P-3’s, some older aircraft, etc. Unfortunately, the 747 and DC-10 tankers aren’t available for some reason, I’m sure they could be of great use at this point in the game.

Not to mention that the enviros fight any type of realistic fire prevention activity...

Not all, but at least 2 or 3.

Oh geez...I’m 55 years old, was born in California and lived there for years and remember the wild fires every year. They will be followed this winter by mudslides when the rains come. It’s not global warming...it’s nature numbnuts.
Cheers

This is at least the second time in recent memory ...


Sorry. We are going to have to fine you for referring to factual experience and having an attention span greater than two months.

“One reason why we have the fires in California is global warming,” Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) told reporters Tuesday, stressing the need to pass the Democrats’ comprehensive energy package.

Moments later, when asked by a reporter if he really believed global warming caused the fires, he appeared to back away from his comments, saying there are many factors that contributed to the disaster.

What an ass.
