Cindy opened today's press conference by expressing her concern for the people affected by Hurricane Katrina. Cindy said that the people of Louisiana are in her prayers. Iraqi Veterans Against the War then called for veterans around the country to help with the disaster relief in the affected areas. It was announced that supplies donated to Camp Casey will be delivered to New Orleans when the camp is broken down on Wednesday.

Kelly Doherty, a veteran of the Iraq war, raised the issue of the National Guard being stretched thin at home. She said that with troops and equipment deployed in Iraq, the Guard will not be able to provide the resources they usually bring to disaster relief efforts.

1. "the National Guard being stretched too thin"...and that's a fact.

George and his cronies are shoving us to the edge of viability, not "making us safer".

2. Now, why didn't Bush suggest that?

Cindy is showing leadership. The Chimp isn't.

3. Bush is more concerned about "Illegal Immigration"...

...When fox showed him he made a quick generic comment about the hurricane then started babbling about "e-legal immagration"

4. Cindy shows what patriotism is all about!

Caring about your fellow Americans and calling for aid to those in need...I don't care what those chickenshit Freepers throw at her, this lady has more heart and patriotism in her pinky than those losers have in their soulless bodies.

Meanwhile Chimp can't even be fucking bothered to say anything except "uh, the Gulf coast is getting hit hard" NO SHIT, CAPTAIN OBVIOUS.

I fucking hate him, I swear to god...:argh:

5. She's a better leader than Chimpy. . .

you don't see him suggesting that some $1000-a-plate Republican fundraising dinner be donated to refugees in Mississippi and Louisiana. . .

What a great plan. And what a great lady.
