Limbaugh says Left will find a way to "Politicize" Katrina

[Jon8503]

Evidently he feels there is something to talk bout:

Rush Limbaugh warned his listeners this morning that "the left" would find a way to "politicize" Hurricane Katrina. We wouldn't want to disappoint him, so here goes: Think Progress has dredged up a report showing that the Bush administration proposed to cut $71.2 million from the 2006 budget for the New Orleans district of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. According to the report, the cuts mean that "major hurricane and flood protection projects will not be awarded to local engineering firms," and that a study to find ways to protect the region from major hurricanes has been shelved.

How much is $71.2 million? Enough to fund about nine-and-a-half hours of war in Iraq.

1. For once he's telling the truth. We are going to politicize into

impeachment for Bush and Cheney. When our side politicizes though, we tell the truth and present our facts.

6. Limpballs is such an ass

[liberaliraqvet26]

3. He just politicized Katrina

by making that statement. The vulgar pigboy never fails.

[ClintonTyree]

14. I wish that fat junkie.......

was in the lower ninth ward of NO right now. Under a house. Under water.

[Kerrytravelers]

4. Oh, he means like * and company politicized 9/11.

I get it now.

:eyes:

[NewJeffCT]

13. hey now, Bush promised he would never politicize 9/11

I think it was in a speech in Ohio in early 2002 he promised to never politicize 9/11.

I can't imagine he would break such a big promise.

:sarcasm:

[RobertSeattle]

5. I'm going to do a little Projection...

Deep down, these Right Wingers should WISH this were a Democrat President (under similar conditions) - they'd be like pigs in a pigpen. Instead, they have to apologize and defend Bubble Boy Bush which makes them cranky!

[htuttle]

7. They've said this after every disaster on Bush's watch

They always claim we politicize things before we even politicize them.

Which means that THEY end up politicizing the issue first.

[Deja Q]

8. Well, if the situation was reversed, the tighty-righties WOULD DO SO.

Forget this fat bag of oreo-eating lard who thinks illegal drug use is okay for him but wrong for everybody else. (pain killers no less, what a wimp!) He's a bag full of hot air that would challenge the Goodyear Blimp(tm) in terms cubic feet...

Again, if the situation was reversed, the tighty-righties WOULD DO SO. Their history proves as much and more.

To politicize it is not nice. But gander and geese, pots and kettles.

[wli]

9. Damn right we will. The rethugs screwed up bad defunding ACOE & FEMA. n/t

[Mr_Spock]

10. LOL - as he politicizes it with those very words

What a fucking ass hole he is. He's sitting on his fat anal cyst ass saying "nah, nah, nah, nah nah!!" while people are dying. What a fucking loser!

[Deja Q]

12. Your subject line should be the official Dem response.

Otherwise the Dems should lie down and bend over backwards.

[Mr_Spock]

18. I hear ya - sometimes our leaders miss the obivious

and over analyze things...

That's for us to do here :D

[ThoughtCriminal]

11. Translation

Sorry ditto-heads, I haven't figured out how to blame this on Clinton yet. Stay tuned.

[Snotcicles]

15. Rush must be the first person they call when they need to cover something

up. It must be the fastest way to get the lie started.
It's kinda like watching a cat in a litter box covering a turd.

[MissWaverly]

16. Rush will be singing a different tune soon

As the death toll mounts, the red states will wake up, George W. Bush is not a born again compassionate christian, he wouldn't even interrupt his vacation, he has gone back to TEXAS, he is not on his way to New Orleans, he is not sending troop transport to help with the evacuation, he MAY leave 2 days early, so what. People will realize that
he has sucked the country dry for his pet projects and left US at risk.
He sucked up the money for the levees for Homeland Security and Iraq.

17. Still voting for the "Lumbaugh says/Hannity Says/O'Leilly Says Forum....

PLEASE!

[HysteryDiagnosis]

19. Slimbaugh said that?? Shocking. nt.

[Triana]

20. Well the reichwingnuts already got a jump on us...

...to late. They already did it.

[CottonBear]

21. Boortz said Mon. that "emergency people were crying wolf about flooding."

My hubby, a native of NOLA, heard that and was almost apoplectic. He is so angry. What the hell do these RW assholes think they're doing?
I hope Boortz had to eat his words today. I can't bring myself to listen to his stupid "show" to find out if he retracted his statements.
:( :grr: :(

[littleraf]

24. Did He Say the Emergency Workers Were Crying Wolf?

That proves just how desperate the right-wingnuts are to cover Shrubya's sorry ass. They know he's responsible for coordinating relief efforts and that he isn't showing any leadership during this crisis. The Emergency workers will be very credible when they start going on TV and saying "We aren't getting anything that we need from Washington." They know criticism will come from all corners and they're going into shameless-attackmode, blaming the victims. If they're acting like this now in anticipation of scorn from emergency workers think of how they'll react when the residents and city government of NO speaks out. NO is the core of Democrat power in Louisiana, after all.

[CottonBear]

25. Mr. CB said he was on an insane rant about "no flooding going to happen."

It boggles the mind. He's fucking insane. :grr:

[shance]

22. Interesting. Is Rush worried that we will find out how this storm was

"politicized"?

How has this Administration been so *psychic* about the New Orleans catastrophe?

[theHandpuppet]

23. And could anyone here possibly imagine....

... what Limpballs and his Freeptard Army (not to mention the media) would have said if Bill Clinton, Al Gore or John Kerry had decided to romp at a posh resort and play guitar while New Orleans and a good portion of the Gulf Coast was being destroyed?

But we all know the answer to that question, don't we.

[Ms. Clio]

27. The metaphor really is complete--he "fiddled" while New Orleans drowned

But god forbid I should "politicize" this monstrosity.

[Jon8503]

28. There is a rumor that he is trying to finish his one book "My Pet

Goat" tonight so he can leave for Washington tomorrow.

[Ms. Clio]

29. Maybe Condi will read it to him tonight before bed

He has to get on with his life and get a good night's sleep--that's what makes him such an effective leader.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

26. Nice to know he's already working clean up for the Admin

Fuck him and his little boots leader.

[Cha]

30. Does he mean like jebby and his

brother, chimp, did during the hurricanes in Florida last year?

Cause I don't think any Dem could take that tragedy and try an squeeze out dirty politics like chimp and the pig(I really apologize to chimps and pigs everywhere).
