The President is coming tomorrow!!” “Oh yeah,” the mayor quietly says “ Yeah, the president is coming…”
The product of endless decades of Democratic Party inbreeding. Maybe this is the fate of all the blue States.
By all means, donate to the Red Cross! I'm on volunteer duty here in San Antonio -- working the counseling and shelter management duty.
We need money.
That money is needed to purchase things like medication. That -- and entertainment items like games, toys and books -- is what is in shortest supply.
I finally lost it with one of them today. I try my best to stick with my upbringing when posting online........not even my mother would have recognized me in that particualr post today :)
I noticed Amazon.com put the Red Cross on their home page...wonder how many hates mails they received....
Amazing isn't it?
"Scarborough has been blaming Bush all week...I hate that man.."
These people are revealing themselves as total idiots. Bush isn't responsible for the devestation caused by the hurricane. No other President in history that I know of has ever been blamed for a natural disaster. It just shows the intellectual poverty of the Democrats and their lack of anything to say except, "it's Bush's fault".
OH, please, please, say that it is so...Tony back tomorrow...terrific...
I never thought I would miss a talk show host as much as I have missed Tony the last few weeks..
Rush won't be there tomorrow...he is gonna have a HUGH "stack of stuff" by Tuesday!!!
As is typical for Bastardi, it's somewhat overhyped.
And before some Bastardibot chimes in with how he hyped Katrina and how great that was, actually, Bastardi was one of the contributors to the constant overhype of EVERYTHING so that when a storm really DOES need to be hyped, it doesn't stand out...Bastardi was hyping Dennis hitting New Orleans, which never happened or came close to happening, for example.
FOX cleaned Geraldo up, put him in dockers and a Ralp Lauren polo shirt and tried to make us think he had a brain.
But...
If he walks like an *ss and talks like and *ss...
We ain't fooled.
" Joe Scarborough just "speculated" that over 10,000 may have died in NO...
THEN, he said that is too bad....that 4-5 years ago (coincidently, Bush's length of presidency), it was KNOWN that those levees wouldn't hold, and "the government didn't do anything about it"...then he shook his head."
When Joe Scarborough was a Congressman and served on the Government Reform and Oversight Committee he sponsored legislation to address the levee problem ... oh wait, I'm wrong.
Scarborough had the power to address the situation while in Congress and did zero.
Scarborough was in Congress longer than President Bush has been in office .

You can say what you want, but Geraldo is there and he's being kind and compassionate. He was so gentle with Floritta and Dusty. I can't criticize Geraldo right now.
The Times-Picayune has probably been supporting the Democratic machine that produced two incompetents, Blanco and Nagin, for decade upon decade. To the Times-Picayune I would say, the people of the United States are rescuing your city, despite the incompetence of your elected officials. We will continue to rescue your city, and provide all the assistance we can. The City of New Orleans and the State of Louisiana have done very little or nothing to make this task any easier. I would suggest that the Times-Picayune stop whining and pointing fingers, or you will wear out our good will.
I advise all Freepers to email your local radio talk show hosts and make sure that they cover the incompetancy of Governor Blanco and Mayor Nagin. They are our best hope of getting the truth out there to the general public.
When things get you down, just visualize Sean Penn bailing water with a red Solo cup. It made me laugh for a long time.
I think it (prostituting oneself) must be a requisite of MSNBC...
because I saw Rita Cosby interviewing Jesse Jackson and she was doing the same thing as Scarborough, pandering to the wacked out reasoning of the left....and was was "feeding" the racist questions to Jesse perfectly....
She wasn't quite THAT bad when she was at Fox!
The attacks and mouth-foaming hatred of Bush, the Federal response, FEMA, these attacks made under the banner of racism and class-warfare parallel nothing so closely as the continual vile attacks on Israel on behalf of the designated permanent victim class there -- the Palestinians.
Excellent post; very well stated!!
