Bush Fails To Prevent East Coast Blizzard
Minorities Hit Hardest
by Brian Williams NBC 02/12/06
As President Bush and his staff cowered in the White House, the snow continued to pile up on the many poor and African American victims who could not afford to get out of town or to safety in Florida. Crucial supplies of blankets, hot cocoa, popcorn and dark rum - so essential to surviving the stress of any major snowstorm - lay in stores undelivered.
"Where is the government? I need my sidewalk shoveled so I can get out to buy my damn lottery tickets!" said one D.C. resident from his living room."Why are we wasting money in Iraq when we could be spending it here on me?" Progressive blogs blasted the President for his inaction. "We find the timing terribly suspicious - just as the Domestic Spying hearings kick into high gear, what happens? A major northeast Blizzard. Why now?" wrote blogger FUAmericaNBush2.
Hearings into the Blizzards' effect on hearings are almost a certainty. Howard Dean has suggested he will call for an investigation once his new medications kick in and John Kerry took a break from the sporting activities of the glamorous super-rich in some exotic locale (random choice: Ice Sailing in Finland) to call for new legislation outlawing snowstorms. "The Republican Congress has dropped the ball once again. I have always been a staunch supporter of anti-snow legislation, except for certain locations where I ski. Snow has no business on our roads and the President and Congress knows that."
Calls for impeachment over "SnowGate" as some are calling it already are mounting as deeply as the snow itself, and what will be discovered underneath will prove to have a truly chilling effect on the Republicans.
More breaking news......
Al Sharpton wants an investigation as to why snow is ALWAYS white.
Cheney has stock in Tru-Value Hardware.
Do you have any idea how many SNOW SHOVELS they sold today to the unsuspecting consumer?
Perfect!!!!
Thanks for the best laugh I've had today!
"and why did we need to learn about this storm from the local weatherman? Come on, now, this is the nation's capital and the White house press corps should rightfully get the scoop er, story first"
LOL! Excellent
Take a laugh break ping~
Do you have any idea how much money BIG SNOWSHOVEL made today? More Bush tax breaks to big business.
I read this on another forum this morning - never thought to post it here.
It's hilarious!!!!!

I got this via e-mail. I was going to post it! You beat me to it!
Wasn't the storm worse in the Blue counties? Coincidence? Hmmmm....
Pretty good. Thanks.
Whoah. So that's why Cheney shot that guy: to cover up the snowstorm.
Yeah. That's the ticket.
We don't like articles from the New York Times here.
Hmm. How about FEMA giving lottery tickets to such victims instead of other assistance?
This is great!
Al Sharpton wants an investigation into why snow is always white! ROFLMBO!
Thanks for the only laugh I've had today!
