Standard maneuver, the Libs have generals too.
They will slide in a political smear whenever they can, but as soon as anyone else tries it you will hear them piously say we all should work together and not point fingers.
Laugh at them, and point out their inconsistency.
They know they are operating from a position of weakness, and ridicule usually shuts them up the quickest.
In other news, I heard Ellis Henican say that we really can't depend on the local officials to respond in a disaster like this, because they've lost their families and homes also. He said it's all the Fed's job.
One poster earlier showed a model that shows a second hurricane hitting LA again later this week. Not sure how much validity it has, but if want to check it out, you can find it here.
This discussion is from the NHS:
A 1009 MB LOW IS CENTERED BETWEEN ANDROS ISLAND IN THE BAHAMAS AND THE SOUTHEAST COAST OF FLORIDA NEAR 26N79W DRIFTING TO THE NW. THE CENTER OF CIRCULATION IS NOT THAT WELL-DEFINED IN MIAMI RADAR IMAGERY BUT THE OVERALL CIRCULATION APPEARS TO BE BECOMING A LITTLE STRONGER IN SATELLITE IMAGERY. DEEP CONVECTION IS BECOMING A LITTLE MORE CONSOLIDATED ESPECIALLY N OF THE CENTER AND WINDS HAVE INCREASED TO 25 KT AT FREEPORT AND SETTLEMENT POINT BAHAMAS. SCATTERED MODERATE CONVECTION FROM 24N-28N BETWEEN 74W-80W INCLUDING OVER GREAT ABACO...GRAND BAHAMA... ANDROS...AND NEW PROVIDENCE ISLANDS AND MOVING WWD TOWARDS THE FLORIDA COAST. THE LOW IS EXPECTED TO DRIFT NW BENEATH AN UPPER LEVEL ANTICYCLONE AND BE NEAR OR OVER FLORIDA DURING THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. TROPICAL CYCLONE DEVELOPMENT IS POSSIBLE WITHIN THE NEXT 36 HRS IF THE SYSTEM REMAINS OVER WATER.
Too early to get alarmed about anything. Besides, nautinurse needs a break!
They just love to revamp the Constitution anytime they can, don't they?
I'd love to see the state try to take over NC during a storm. U G L Y.
He's lying.
And DC Republicans seeking national approval or election know:
If, as a Republican, you say something that pi$$es the LEFT off, you lose the "moderates," who are totally spoon-fed the "facts" by media, and you become a pariah, crucified in media. (This is EXACTLY what happened to NEWT ten years ago).
If, as a Republican, you say something that DOESN'T pi$$ off the left, and instead pi$$es off the RIGHT, you lose little or nothing, because the voters on the right have nowhere else to turn and are going to vote Republican ANYWAY.
PLUS, you get articles about yourself in the NYT and Atlantic Monthly, and you get invited to DC parties with Tim Russert and Teddy Kennedy.
Yes, but I haven't heard reports that they are refusing to go to the 9 other states.
This has nothing to do with leaving NO. They already have left NO. It's about where they DON'T want to go.
my first reaction is to think it's just because it's so far away from everything/and everyone they know. Much harder to get back home or to see family. I would guess many of these people have never been very far from home.
"what's the date of that email? it must be from the middle of last week, the stuff described there can't be going on right now."
I don't know but it says: "My uncle, who is a dr. working out of east jefferson, is literally appalled at the thought that they are allowing people from jefferson back in on monday to "check on their stuff"... the disease that is in the air and water, the lack of running water, people are going to ####ing RIOT...."
It's not from today. When was the decision made to let people back to Jefferson. Wasn't that yesterday or the day before??
Texas isn't far, far away. Utah is far, far away. I'm telling you... that's all it is.
Blanco's out of the loop.
Per the WP article from yesterday, she was offered the opportuity to come inside by requesting that Bush federalize the afflicted areas, but she refused.
The lines are drawn, the battle has commenced.
Bush holds the purse strings, and Blanco holds the media's sympathy.
Much of it will occur below our sightlines and we will have to infer that part of it.
But that the battle has been joined is evidenced by Honore's comments and tone.
Gloves are off.
The part of it that we actually see will get bloodier.
It's up to the host to have enough knowledge to tell Ellis jerko that he has his facts wrong. And Ellis is an expert? That ticks me off.
Listening to Tony Snow. His introduction just stated he is going to discuss that Lyin' Landrieu and Mad Mayor of New Orleans. LOL
Speaking of Ellis, he disregarded the ABC poll this morning because it didn't produce the results they wanted about Bush today. Which is why the media, that had lessoned a little in intensity, picked up hard again when released when they realized they didn't have the Prez nailed as they had thought.
Now I'm not one that is high on the integrity of polls...but the MSM live and die by them. So do the political elites. They believe every word, and considering the source and circumstances, the truth is even better then imagined in that ABC poll.
I feel like we're out here all alone; not one of "our people" has stood up for this president.
Wow, no wonder they're falling apart.
Watch Landrieu, Blanco, Nagin, et al panic when election day draws near. All their voters will have emmigrated to other states!!
Like your tag-line and am interested in more on cremation.
Thanks,

You have freepmail!
So, I guess Minnesota and Michigan better give up trying to get some up there?
Two kinds of people, one rolls up their sleeves and gets to work, the others cry about what cannot be undone.
