No, I’m not kidding. Here’s a paraphrase of what he said:
...the only reason Bush is talking about fatalities is because he didn’t give MN enough money to maintain the bridge.
Right, Ed. Because it’s the President, and not Congress, who appropriates highway funds for roads and bridges.
What’s more, have we really departed so far from our federalist roots that we’re now blaming the President of the United States for not properly maintaining a bridge in Minneapolis (if that is indeed why the bridge went down)? What about local city officials? County road inspectors? State highway department people? The governor?
But hey, I guess this is what you get from a paid mouthpiece for the Democrat party.
Of course, Schultz isn’t the only liberal driven to stupidity by the bridge collapse in Minnesota. Others are saying that the bridge collapsed because, get this, we aren’t paying enough in taxes. Again, I’m not sure why the bridge in Minnesota collapsed (hasn’t anyone been inspecting it?), but if more funding was needed to maintain it Congress could have cut back on the number of million dollar bus stops and bridges to nowhere they’ve been building with our highway money.
Well, who can blame the guy?
What took so long for them to blame Bush? What next? This happened because Bush didn’t secure the borders?
What friggin desperate losers those people are. Unbelievable.
He is the creator of “Peanuts”.
It is indeed. Article 673,854,622 in the Constitution states the following:
If there is a Republican President in the White House, he is responsible for each road, bridge, and highway in the US including the manholes, dust roads, private roads etc... And he shall personally inspect each one of them and read a daily report on their conditions, and most importantly he shall be blamed for any failure of these roads, bridges, etc... and article of impeachment shall be drafted against him once any failure occurs.
If there is a democrat President in the White House he is not responsible for anything in the nation including the defense of the nation and failure on national security matters and he shall blame the previous Republican President who was in the White House for any type of failure that occurs during his current administration.
Extreme sarcasm
And Kol Hakavod to you too. ; )
Medically it’s known as Bush Tourette’s Syndrome. Those afflicted reflexively scream out ‘It’s Bush’s fault!’ or ‘F’in Bush!’ at anything that goes wrong, from a stubbed toe to a natural disaster. Physical spasms may or may not accompany the verbal outburst. Incurable but not necessarily life threatening from what I hear.
;-)
Charles Schultz created Peanuts, and he passed away seven years ago.
Schultz should be Schulz.
Sorry, too much Schliz Malt Liquor.
:^)
I was wondering how long it would take before some idiot Democrat blamed Bush for the bridge collapse. Less than 24 hours.
"He used to do the Peanuts cartoon strip."
No, I thought Schultz was the fat dumb sergeant who used to work for Col. Klink on Hogan's Heroes.
Sen. Robert C. Byrd did it because he is Chairman of the Senate Committee on Appropriations—Mr. Taxypaying Moneybags himself.
I bow to your sarcasm - you beat me badly. LOL
Darth Cheney must have pulled a Magneto from X3.
Amazing, isn’t it? Just like with New Orleans, a mayor, Governor, Construction Workers, County Commissioners, State Senators and Representatives and a whole host of others have no part in it, only Bush!
How is it possible that so many can be so deluded in America today? Must be Public Education.
Dems will say anything if they think it will get them enough power to enact their precious socialism. Pray for our country if enough gullible people listen to them.
From a post at your original link:
U.S. President George Bush signed a $286.4 billion six-year transportation reauthorization bill Aug. 10, 2005 that covers federal fiscal years 2004-09.
Although the details of the reauthorization package are still being reviewed, Minnesota state and local governments can expect to receive about $3.5 billion in federal transportation funding through 2009, an increase of about 46 percent (or about $1.1 billion) over the previous six-year bill.
The bill is called SAFETEA-LU, which stands for “Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users.”
He’s not “departing from Federalism,” he’s departing from sanity.
