For god's sakes, just shut up and send us somebody
Edited on Sun Sep-04-05 07:26 PM by RamboLiberal
And BTW to the Freeper lurkers here - he's white.

Jefferson Parish President. On Timmeh:

Sir, they were told like me. Every single day. The cavalry is coming. On the federal level. The cavalry is coming. The cavalry is coming. The cavalry is coming. I have just begun to hear the hooves of the cavalry. The cavalry is still not here yet, but I have begun to hear the hooves and were almost a week out.

Three quick examples. We had Wal-mart deliver three trucks of water. Trailer trucks of water. Fema turned them back, said we didn't need them. This was a week go. We had 1,000 gallons of diesel fuel on a coast guard vessel docked in my parish. The coast guard said come get the fuel right way. When we got there with our trucks, they got a word, FEMA says don't give you the fuel. Yesterday, yesterday, fema comes in and cuts all our emergency communications lines. They cut them without notice. Our sheriff, Harry Lee, goes back in. he reconnects the line. He posts armed guards said no one is getting near these lines.

...

The guy who runs this building I'm in. Emergency management. He's responsible for everything. His mother was trapped in St. Bernard nursing home and every day she called him and said. Are you coming. Son? Is somebody coming? And he said yeah. Mama. Somebody's coming to get you.. Somebody's coming to get you on Tuesday. Somebody's coming to get you on Wednesday. Somebody's coming to get you on Thursday. Somebody's coming to get you on Friday. And she drowned Friday night. And she drowned Friday night. Nobody's coming to get us. Nobody's coming to get us. The Secretary has promised. Everybody's promised. They've had press conferences. I'm sick of the press conferences. For god's sakes, just shut up and send us somebody.

3. But I think he may be a Dem someone here said they knew him.

So if he is a Dem even a southern conservative Dem that is still bad in Freeper logic, except Zell Miller. Make that anyone who dares talk mean about the monkey, Dem or Repug.

5. Yes, Zell's been pretty quiet, hasn't he. Wonder why?
Buyer's remorse?

7. I'd guess his brain is slowly rotting away. They'll diagnose it someday.

6. In the paper today a story
about thousands of doctors waiting to go in but are kept out by red tape.
one question,did Fema say why they cut the lines?Is Fema also keeping out phone companys so they can't provide free satelite phone service.
