I bet the local, county and state inspectors had no idea the POTUS was their boss
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, in a joint news conference recommended that President Bush name a blue ribbon commission to be chaired by Senator Ted Kennedy to make sure no cars ever go off of bridges into rivers again.
Mrs. Pelosi stated; "This is failure of presidential leadership. We know Senator Kennedy will get to the bottom of this."
And Pubert E. Humphrey.
Cafferty’s just jealous he wasn’t able to drive in the bicycle lane when it came down.
My tag-line says it all!!!
Sickening.
Right on. The blame resides with 40 years of road salt eating away at the steel structure, then the steel being contorted by 40 years of Minnesota winters. Oh yeah, shouldn't forget the global warming factor working in opposition with the ever colder winters - the colder winters being caused by global warming which in turn is being caused by Prez Bush of course....
I blame liberals and Democrats as they have taken more and more money every year for their socialist agenda and have denied funds for infrastructure. I remember when Reagan took office infrastructure was one of his priorities because Carter had slashed the budgets.
Nothing compares to both Massachusetts and Rhode Island when comparing the bluest of states.
Hell yeah. This happened under Keith "Raghead" Ellison's watch, you know.
In fact, any Americans that take these kooks seriously probably shouldn't be voting...
what was the excuse for not fixing BEFORE the Iraq war?
Do they teach spelling in Journalism school these days?
Just wondering, why didn't we solve all these infrastructure problems when Clinton was president?
maybe if we didn’t spend so much on social security, medicare, medicaid and food stamps you know?
Some of our locals are doing that too. Did he insinuate (or come right out and say) that Bush has “squandered” all our resources on Iraq and neglected our highways and bridges? If so, they’ve already published their talking points.
My teeth hurt. It’s Jack Cafferty’s fault.
the Clinton News Network has been doing it all day....
this morning about 8AM a CNN reporter starts with the usual defeatocrat babble...”the war in Iraq....no money for bridges...” and typical BS....
after crying about the lack of funds to repair infrastructure he then pointed out how the George Washington bridge, where he was reporting from, is able to maintain itself and keep up with needed repairs because they charge a $6.00 toll to get across the bridge...
hmmm...how about that; you use you pay....
the irony is I watched the press conference by the Minny officials...the cheif of the Minny FD said they were as well prepared as ever and handled this tragedy better than anyone he’s ever been to thanks to the equipment and training they received as part of post 9-11 training...
“”I’ll bet the latest transportation bill probably provides more money for highways and bridges then any in US history.””
Hm, I wonder how many fossil fuels will be burned in the effort to upgrade our crumbling infrastructure. The reality is that conrete, steel and asphalt are critical raw materials in construction. THose materials require huge amounts of fossil fuels to produce. I think that this represents a dilemma for the Dems. They will have to agree to more greenhouse gas emissions while the infrastructure is upgraded.
