Mr. Bush, go Cheney yourself!

We have no leadership, no captain at the helm as it were. We are, in effect, being led from disaster to disaster by a headless horseman run amok with stuffed pockets and an empty conscience.

SUSPENDING HIGHER GROUND

On September 11, 2001, The Vacationing and un-elected President of this country was tooling around on his holiday and even making time to fit in a little PR in Florida too. Later it was the "bring it on" hubris of a boy-king, who had spent his entire life doing absolutely nothing of value, now deciding the fate of thousands upon thousands of people. Still later, it was a Veruca Salt-like tantrum of "I want it now Daddy, I WANT IT NOW!" demanding of either Rummy or Cheney that he get his golden- egg- laying Goose. Now this dim-witted and loathed bully of a child still sits on his beach blanket while his toy soldiers are sent to kill "his" toy victims. "Daddy, I WANT IT NOW!"

Daddy VP Delivers:

So what happens when, once again, our leadership is sun-bathing and there is a national emergency? What happens when children are drowning in attics while others are burning in the sun on Cajun hot roofs? What happens to a great city like New Orleans when funding for emergency spending has been cut so that "toys can kill toys?" What happens when the entire military and emergency resources of a nation – the ones not yet outsourced to Project Lying Bastards – are tied up in simulations of being prepared for emergencies, and by being tied up are not prepared at all? Just a few of these simulations listed below, taking place over the last few weeks, have tied up all of our resources that are otherwise needed for a catastrophe like Katrina that is unfolding before our eyes:

8. Ya done good La La, real good... thats why they are there.

SOmeone wrote you in Russian! Whats it say?

[lala_rawraw]

Nothing nice:(

I am getting slammed over there. Me think it may have to do with the essay being posted by our "friends" over at the "other board," and you know how they love to troll, lol.

[frictionlessO]

12. Its great they are taking the time to do it though.

Seriously whenever you are the recipient of such self righteous Fox faux Christian hatred its time to take a nice bubble bath and well... like crazy!

Though most of us are having a hard time of finding anything worthy of joyous celebration since the fascist regime and its cult of clones took over... perchance you can take some time for yourself having pricked their ballooning megalomaniacal egos.

(really you do work like crazy!)

18. You hurt them, young lady,

by showing them the truth. And they react to the truth very predictably.

[sarcasmo]

[Just Me]

11. That opening paragraph is POWERFUL!!!!

Larisa, you certainly don't mince your passion!!! :applause:

[Jack Rabbit]

13. Artfully done, Lala

You have the courage and talant to say what you think and feel. Don't ever lose it.

[lala_rawraw]

14. why thank you:)

i am thinking of letting comments in again after the psycho spammers have had some time to get distracted by something shiny

[bleever]

15. Thank you so much Larisa, for not only finding the words

but getting them out there!

I've said it before, and I'll say it again:

:yourock:


:)

[DemReadingDU]

16. Excellent, Bravo!!

Thank you, Larisa, for getting it all out...angry, sarcastic, yet so eleoquent. Great article!

[lala_rawraw]

17. Thanks guys, really!!!

Had to be said. At some point and at some time, things collide together and one has to vent. Glad I made some sense in my anger. I feel like a good nap is in order, lol.:)

AND I am taking the day off tomorrow to sleep!!!

[Hello_Kitty]

19. You handle your trolls so artfully too.

I could never maintain my decorum the way you do. :yourock:

[lala_rawraw]

21. Only because I am spent from writing that thing, lol

I was so angry at the lack of response... now I am a bit more calm. Todays comments are better and other people are coming out to say much the same thing in their publications.

[paineinthearse]

22. Don't pay any attention to the trolls

They are probably psyops sent to upset you. Stay focused. Keep up the excellent journalism.

[lala_rawraw]

23. :D

The half with it and half-witted Andrew Sullivan gave me a Michelle Malkin award, I assume for "hyperbole" as he does not mention why. I am so glad to see the conserve-nothing-bots ready to down play this kind of disaster. Good lord.

24. Blunt and brilliant. Bravo, Larisa!

Excerpt:

My god, cutting funding (alone, without adding the negligence and middle finger to “duty”) for emergency services to pay off the already rich “Bush Pioneers” in tax cuts, results in this: death. What will the Bush minions say now: “We did not know that a Hurricane could or would do that?”

Odd, we knew about hurricanes, especially those of us who went through four of them last year in a three week run. FEMA warned of them for New Orleans starting in 2001. We knew. Scientists knew. So did city of New Orleans via its mayor who repeatedly asked for government funding, over and over, and over. In fact, every rational person on the planet knows that the top priority of a good leader is "the people", not his frat house pals!

Tax cuts to the top-already-grossly-rich 2% of the nation over the duties to the other 98% of the people, is unpardonable!

25. Great! Should have been said 4 years ago
