Bloated blowhard Michael Moore says George Bush is a racist and intentionally delayed Hurricane Katrina relief because he hates blacks. The remarkably wealthy and obese Moore, who makes more money during lunch than most Americans make in a month, refuses to take some of his scores of millions and mount a rescue and relief effort for the very blacks he claims to love and care for.
Self-proclaimed scientist Robert F. Kennedy Jr., says Bush created Hurricane Katrina because he wouldn’t sign off on the Kyoto Accords. He fails to mention that the Accords came about during the Clinton years and that the Clinton administration didn’t sign them either, first and foremost because the Senate never got the deal to Clinton’s desk. He also fails to mention that thousands of scientists say global warming is a natural phenomenon anyway. How many millions of dollars from the staggering wealthy Kennedy clan were immediately sent into the fray to help? You guessed it. Oh, and Kennedy the environmentalist doesn’t want sea-based electricity-generating windmills off his family’s Hyannisport compound because they would obstruct the view and cause him to have to turn his yacht more often.
Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md), in a news conference with the Congressional Black Caucus, spoke for God himself against the rescue and relief efforts to date. A congressman spoke for God. He also said, "They are not refugees. I hate that word." They are refugees, bub, and I would like to know why you are so concerned with semantics.
Professional shakedown artist and multi-millionaire Jesse Jackson suggested evil whites in the federal government were the reason why hundreds of thousands of refugees in a 90,000-square-mile disaster area were not rescued within a few hours by federal troops who were just goofing off in the first place. I just watched him insinuate that his plan for relocation of the refugees is far superior than any of the morons in FEMA. Of course, he has no training or experience in such matters and has no idea whatsoever of the intricacies and details of such plans, but he’s Jesse Jackson and he’s a millionaire many times over, so he must know better.
Fox News Channel’s Bill O’Reilly, the world’s most righteous, capable, and brilliant man according to Bill O’Reilly, made the stunning assessment that we need to get the National Guard into the disaster. Boy, he sure knows how to cut to the chase. He continues to point fingers at the feds and implies he could have done better. Have at it, Bill. Get down there and take charge. By the way, stop claiming you broke stories that others broke days or weeks before you picked them up and claimed them as an "exclusive."
Geraldo Rivera, an actor masquerading as a journalist, grabbed some lady’s baby, began shouting with tears in his eyes how folks need help down there, and then quickly handed that kid back to mom after the camera was turned off. If he cared so much for that child, why didn’t Geraldo pull out some cash (he’s got millions) and hand it to the mother, who has nothing?
Over on MSNBC, Joe Scarborough called for an investigation.
Sen. Hillary Clinton, prepping the zone for her presidential run in 2008, called for an investigatory commission.
Why did the media so readily assist the city and state officials who failed to properly plan for and effectively react to this disaster, who instead of doing their jobs, immediately began pointing fingers at anyone except themselves? And how is it that nearly every jaw-jacker in the area implied, said or insinuated they were the true experts at disaster response? Do they really think that rapier assessments like, "We need fresh water in here," "We need more boats," and "We need the police and National Guard to get control of the looters" were of any assistance? Such moronic statements are like a drowning man saying to his rescuer that he needs a life preserver.
Mayor Ray Nagin of New Orleans went on the tube and started screaming and cursing that the government wasn’t doing anything to help anyone in his city. He bellowed that he didn’t want to see anyone talking in a news conference anymore. He said this to the news media, of course. When it comes to all the people trying to help, Nagin said, "There’s one guy here that I trust," (a certain general). So the mayor believes everyone else risking their lives to save the city he failed is untrustworthy. Mayor Nagin, you are all done, mister. You failed to prepare your city for the long-awaited monster storm everyone knew would one day arrive. Your city is one of the most murderous in the country. You can’t get nearly enough cops to work in your city because of low pay and extreme danger. You had no enforceable mandatory evacuation plan whatsoever. And now you are telling the world that it’s everyone’s fault but your own. You didn’t even have a plan to evacuate the hospitals. You demonstrated just how much of a screwball you are when you told an Associated Press reporter: "If the CIA slips me something next week and you don’t see me, you’ll all know what happened." You followed up this bizarre statement with another to CNN, saying live on national television that you are petrified the "CIA make take me out." Buddy, you are a paranoid freak who belongs somewhere other than in office. The CIA has far more important people to deal with than you, lad. How a clueless buffoon such as yourself ever became mayor of a major American city ranks among mysteries right up there with Marion Barry.
Governor Kathleen Blanco of Louisiana also had no plan for this near-worst-case scenario. She, like Mayor Nagin, decided the best plan was to hope this never happened and figured if it did happen, those slackers in the National Guard, Marines, Army, Navy, Air Force and Coast Guard, who are just sitting on their butts anyway doing largely nothing of consequence, would just trot on down as soon as the storm passed and fix everything within minutes. The governor had no plan to help evacuate those who didn’t have the ability to flee on their own.
Transplanted French Canadian Celine Dion, who came to America to make a monstrous fortune estimated in the hundreds of millions of dollars, was just wailing on television about how evil the United States military is because, according to her, it easily kills loads of innocent people and destroys the lives of countless other innocent people, but doesn’t want to help out with the hurricane. It is ironic that this woman depends on the military to keep her filthy rich yet attacks them and impugns their honor with utter abandon. Hey, lady. Why have I not heard about you writing a check well into the millions of dollars to help the needy? Or a check to any of the military relief societies that lend a hand to needy military families that are on food stamps because military pay is so low? Take you butt back to Quebec if you hate the American military so much. No one that I know of asked you to come here and you only did so to get rich. Get your stinkin’ butt out of my country, you vile hypocrite.
And what of the hundreds of thousands of people who knowingly and willingly chose (elected, decided) to ride out this beast? Why didn’t they prepare for the hurricane? Why did they stupidly choose to stay in the first place when they were told how bad this one was going to be? Where did they read that the federal government is first and foremost responsible for getting them out of a jam? I can’t find that written anywhere. If your survival plan is to just wait for the Marines, it might be a while because, just in case you have not heard, the Marines are fighting two wars at the moment.
Jefferson Parish President Aaron Broussard said the officials who failed to prepare for this disaster "committed murder" and "need to be fired right away." No one committed murder, Broussard, but you are right that anyone guilty of negligence leading to death should be fired, including you. You totally failed in your duty as parish president to make sure your parish had a workable evacuation plan, and an emergency rescue and relief plan. By your own admission, you murdered people. Please turn yourself in to Chief Ed Compass for arrest and prosecution.
The bottom line is that rescue and relief efforts on this scale from the federal government take a few days to get rolling, which is one of the reasons why it is the primary responsibility of mayors and governors to have plans in place to fill in the gaps while federal assets mobilize. And it is every American’s personal responsibility to evacuate when told to do so if they can, and the vast majority of those who stayed did so of their own free will and refused to prepare for the consequences of that decision.
Responsibility starts with the individual and works its way up. It does not start with the president and work its way down. There’s nothing in the Constitution or in federal laws that says the guy in the White House has to do everything for you in an emergency.
Are we pretty clear on this now, boys and girls?

In a manner of speaking, he was right, if you catch my drift.
George W. Bush....beware this man and his god like powers..
he brings war, tsunami's, hurricanes, plague's, famines, and every evil known to man. We must stop him before it is too late, or we shall all perish in flames!! AAAAAAAAaaaaaahh!!!! Lions and Tigers and Bears! Oh My
Hey, leave some for us teachers. We're responsible for some of those things.
First, you have them all go extinct, then you wait the millions of years it takes for them to turn to oil... then presto!
I didn't think Bush believed in dinosaurs.
They never existed just like we never landed on the moon.
What a great read! This guy is spot on.
Bring out the stain remover.
Hey, you know why Gilligan died. Bush left him on that island when it was only supposed to be a 3 hour tour.
The skipper was the prodigal brother, you know. He took everyone down with him.
And there are those Bush pilots around too.
For some reason, I've always liked the Seattle Mariners. It looks like they are back to their "glory days" now. I used to see every year if they would win 70 games and then their season was a success. I couldn't believe it when they went over .500 and about died of shock when they made the playoffs. When they won 116 games, I was in a coma for 5 months. I'm glad to see that they're finally back to normal. And I have President Bush to thank for it.
Is there anything that isn't his fault?
Yes, San Andreas is not his fault. He doesn't own the land.
HALLIBURTON!!!!!
Getting the Detroit Lions into the Super Bowl are even beyond the abilities of The Dark Lord Rove.
Some thing are just not meant to happen.
She is typical of many of the liberal entertainers, who know little - but at least she admits it, and made a very sizeable contribution. I just wish they would all shut up because none of them knows or wants to know the truth anyway. I wonder if Babs Striesand found enough pennies in her purse to buy at least one generator for the people there? Wasn't she raising money to buy a broadcast network or something in conjunction with Al Gore? That money could serve a better purpose going to the Gulf coast area.
:-) Thanks for the post! I enjoyed it!
