(Washington) -- U.S. Senator Rick Santorum is suggesting that early mistakes in predicting the path of Hurricane Katrina may be a symptom of lost focus at the National Weather Service. Santorum, who introduced legislation earlier this year to curb the output of government weather forecasters, says tracking life-threatening weather must be central to what the agency is doing. 00149_ric09d.mp3 Asked about Katrina by WITF, Santorum described weather service warnings for Florida, where the storm first made landfall, as not sufficient." Santorums bill instructs the government to abandon weather prediction and data reporting efforts that duplicate private-sector activity. He came under fire when it was revealed that the head of State College-based AccuWeather, which would benefit, has given his campaigns thousands of dollars.
ClusterZOTS are great to see! I have only seen 3 of 'em, but gotta say, wow!
As the late Jimmy Durante used to say, "Everybody wants to get into the act."
I think a few of them all signed up and said, "Hey lets start some stuff"
Santorum should resign his seat in the Senate after campaigning for that dunce Arlen Specter enabling him to be reelected. Those two retards tarnish the reputation of the state they "represent".
Surprises me how many freepers are falling for these trolls. The keys are a filthy screen name, posting negative article with strident comments the first day they sign up, and using the catch phrases "Our Party" "Our Republicans", "Republicans have to win", plus copping an attitude. One last sign is they do not use spell check.
OOOOOOH A TROLL Am I in Before ZOt?
Would be a frightening situation to listen to the likes of grandstanding Joe Bastardi when my life and property depends upon it. I'll stay with the NHC, thank you. They aren't looking for viewer ratings, they have a better accuracy rate than Joe Bastardi, and they readily admit when they are perplexed by a storm's potential track.
Zot material, not for his Santorum comments, but his wishing for a democrat to win his seat.
Welcome to FR.
Needs to be repeated, all but the "spell check" part. Please don't ban my spelling! :D
No kidding. They usually do not last very long after Darksheare and some others show up. Usually I get some sadistic pleasure in messing with them, as long as the screen name is not obscene. This screen name is rather juvenile. The troll supporters range from the truly naive, to the weeks-old plant. The plants obviously make use of IM, it shows in the coordination across threads and topics.
Yup, he didn't call for him just to lose his seat. He called for people to vote for a "democrat". Why not an Independent or Libertarian?
You are right Santorum is tool. Many here don't take criticism of any Repub very well as you see, unless it's McCain, it's OK to bash McCain.
He could have called for him to lose in the primary to a another republican also, nope he had to go with democrat.
yup.
Since you don't care much for Santorum could I trade you Santorum for Barbara Boxer?
Please
Why is he a "tool"?
We bash many Repubs, just when its fair and its McCain.
But rod muncher 99(lost his cherry that year?) is a troll, just a longer lasting one.
I have never voted for that carpetbagger.
Wow! more trolls?
