The day Arizona was in the eye of Hurricane George

This guy goes on and on with his sopabox nonsense. Both a freind of mine and I wrote an e-mail telling him what we thought of his views and we both got a canned response. NOt only is he an annoying liberal, he defends his piece with more stupidity.

May I suggest that freepers e-mail him and beat him to the punch by responding to his response while you are at it.

Here's my letter:

Dear Mr. Montini,

I just wanted to point out to you that if Mr. Bush did anything from go to Louisiana to return to Crawford to go to the White House, someone else would have been on the soapbox with their whining liberal spin.

If he went to Louisiana yesterday, he would be a fool. As it was, he was all over the situation and had urged both the mayor of New Orleans and the Governor of Louisiana to evacuate, among other things. If you were anywhere east of Crawford, you would have been aware of this. He already declared it a disaster area and commenced the necessaries to get peoples' lives back in order as quickly as possible.

If he stayed in Crawford there would be more pissing and moaning that he isn't doing his job. Napolitano already declared the illegal immigration an emergency and everyone knows that Medicare needs an overhaul. Face it, if Bush did a no show, one of your proteges would have been all over the opposite end of this article.

By going to the White House while on vacation, even though his private home is set up so that he shouldn't hvae to return to the White House at all and can run the country from the Western White House, the liberal and nazi groups that have Cindy playing the part of head Moon Bat would call it an early victory for 2008.

Let me clue you in, Mr. Bush will NOT be running for reelection in '08, so put a sock it and be thankful he was in Arizona trying to do one of the many components of his job instead of shoving a cigar into some intern.

Crawford is normally a quiet and lovely place and the "grieving mother" and her hippie freaks that protested Vietnam have turned the town into a circus side show. Do you really think she isn't getting primped and preened before the camera rolls? Would you like a photo of the resident Moon Bat grinning and dancing up a storm with another of the closet Nazis? Perhaps something from my own personal collection? I can speed up the process and get my pictures on the puter and uploaded post haste...of service members in Crawford...and families of service members in Crawford who just want to show support to a man who has to make more decisions in a single day than you have to in an entire career.

The INternet is such a monster, that you have put yourself in to position of never saying a single thing about your views on illegal immigration or Medicare ever again. In the event that you do...THAT day will go down in infamy as the day the liberal reporter flip-flops.

Meanwhile, why are you not reporting that Ms Napolitano has known since early 2003 that the day that all children are learning to read in the same textbook in the state of Arizona is the day that no child will be left behind in Arizona. She was told...instead of fixing education in Arizona first and then touting it while pitching it to the nation, she skipped the step of helping Arizona's children first while meeting her own personal agenda.

This is the beginning of the thrid full school year where Arizona children will continue to fall behind. It is all I can do to stay down from the soapbox that would require a telescope for you to view me while I go on a screaming rant over politicians going beyond killing our education and our children's futures and burying it with more stupidity. They passed that a long time ago and what Napolitano is doing can only be viewed as having her squat and urinate on the gravesite of US eductaion and the hope of a future.

With no hope for reelection, our President works daily to make the US a better place for all Americans. LIberal spew to invalidate a man's work for the greater good is a foolish waste of time. There is far more in this country than trying to make sure the current presidnet doesn't win the next election. Give your keyboard and/or your brain cells an enema and try researching a topic that is worthy of the future and remember to look at more than just one side before attempting to compose the opening paragraph.

Since you do write for the Arizona Republic, you may want to start with something of significance...like education in Arizona. Again, be sure to do your homework before opening your mouth to insert both feet. After all, today's children will be changing your Depends in a nursing home one day.

Regards,

Katherine Fallon

(Yes, I did bcc it to many and if you write, I hope you do the same.)

Here's my friend's letter to Mr. Montini:

If President Bush would have done the things YOU suggested would have been more acceptable, you STILL would be on here saying that he did the wrong thing. People like you are never happy - no matter what. President Bush did the right thing. You say he should have been reviewing procedures? He has entire departments handling the situation with the storm hitting the gulf region.

I have a lot of dealings with senior citizens. To be honest with you - most seniors are more concerned with their Medicare benefits and their Social Security benefits [as it affects them EVERY DAY] than they are with things going on in other parts of the country. Sure, they "care" but they want to know that they are going to be able to afford their [life saving] medications and make their mortgage or rent payments - and put food on their table. To suggest that they would have been ok with President Bush canceling because of the storm would have been wrong. Those seniors would have been screaming to everyone that would listen that their President just doesn't care about them.

Mr.. Montini, look beyond the tip of your nose for once.

His canned e-mail response that both of us received was:

Sorry to disagree with you but I believe the president's feet spoke for him today, when he returned to Washington, D.C. in order to -- guess what?

-- oversee disaster relief.

This is something he should have done yesterday, and it smacks a little of dillydallying at the kindergarten when he got word of the 9/11 attacks.

He's the president, after all, and the biggest storm in 50 years was zeroing in on the most important oil and gas production region of the nation. At a time of war and rising gas prices.

Do you honestly believe that traveling to El Mirage to talk about prescription drugs is what he should have done? Are you so blindly loyal that there is no room for criticism no matter what?

I have no political bone to pick with Bush. He can't run again. He's like every other second term president. We can judge him on his actions and, no matter what our political bent, know that it has no bearing on his political future. He's been on the job a long time now, and the fact that he still wasn't intuitive enough to go to Washington yesterday should be troubling even to those who support him.

I'm not the one with blinders on. (Not this time, anyway.)

My freind responded to his canned response, but I am sure he won't read it.

Please feel free to attack any part of his response in your e-mails if you wish. His e-mail box smells like it needs to be FReeped:

ed.montini@arizonarepublic.com

If someone could kindly make it a link to mail to...

Hugs,

Kate

Though you wouldn't mind pinging so that ed.montini@arizonarepublic.com can get views of this from the almghty pajamahadeen and the Viking Kitties, too.

I wasn't sure how this would turn out, I am quite new to starting a discussion.

Can you add to the top that it is a shame on you commentary for President Bush going to Phoenix instead of to DC yesterday.

Frankly, without a psychic medium to see the damage before it was done yesterday, it would have been a wasted day, IMHO.

This armchair advisor needs to be put in his place.

The left's view of the world: "It's Bush's fault."

Don't waste your time with MontWeenie!!!!

His e-mail box wants filling...

Just sent Montini an email encouraging more hatespeak. What these America haters dont get is that their statements are remembered at the ballot box..

After reading the article (quickly I'll admit) I have to say that I don't see a problem with it. The writer has a point. Almost the entire South is in the process of being destroyed, hundreds (possibly more) are likely dead, and the financial implications of the most destructive natural disaster in our history are sure to be huge. The writer is right. Now is not the time for the President to be going to Arizona to talk mainly about immigration and social security. Granted, those are important issues but surely they pale in comparison to the events along the Gulf Coast.

I'm not saying that he should have gone right down to Louisiana, but I didn't see the article say that either.

I will now don my flame retardant jumpsuit.

Ed, or E.J. is the commie for the Az Repulsive that wrote a ot column condemning those of us who keep a gun in the house and wanted them to be illegal but later admitted he kept one himself because he was important and had a "good" reason!!!

Hehehe...

You are right about it being a very big disaster, but going to Washington would not hvae changed the outcome of the hurricaine. Waiting a day didn't hurt anything and if he had gone yesterday and managed to get things done without knowing the full damage until later, he would have probably flown to California today to finish up. I guess knowing the President's itinerary in conjucntion with when he needed to be in Washington gives me a slightly different prespective.

An do what in DC???the Congress is on vacation also!

Oh....pullleeeaassseeee......people in Arizona (and elsewhere) ARE interested in Social Security and Immigration.....even as we watch the catastrophe in the Gulf States.....we CAN multi-task.

Does the guy know we have a thing called a telephone? What could President Bush do in D.C. that he couldn't do anywhere else in the country? It boils down to President Bush is damned if he does and damned if he doesn't. Liberals suck.
