My husband and I went out to eat dinner last night at a restaurant that had a live band playing. They were taking donations for the Salvation Army/Red Cross. After I made a hefty donation, the woman went into a tirade on George and Laura Bush.
The gist of it was:
The hurricane is all Bush's fault. He had the authority due to the Homeland Security Act to take control of the situation. He will be impeached.
Then after ranting about how he DIDN'T use his new powers, she ranted about how we've lost our rights due to this very act she was previously ranting about him not invoking.
And lastly, she ranted and raved about "That stupid bitch Laura Bush" saying that Laura claimed yesterday that LA would be cleaned up in 2 weeks.
Those are just the highlights. The woman was venomous in her diatribes and people were listening. This is BUSH country and people were listening. Not one person other than myself called her on her lies. I was soon the bad guy for trying to cover for the evil George Bush.
People... Nagin is not going to take the fall for this. Nor is the governor. The buck stops with the president and that is the way the wind seems to be blowing.
when my lib friends say that they want to impeach Pres Bush - I tell them fine - Pres Cheney would be fine with me - shuts 'em up every time
where were you that this happened? even "Bush country" has alot of Dems in it. sure, people may have been "listeneing", but thinking "what a jerk this woman is".
you should have taken your money back. I was going to give to charity, until the left took this thing went political. now, I will only give to an agency that focuses on MS and AL.
