chertoff on cnn spewing bullshit!!

[leftchick]

I hate that asshole....

[Beelzebud]

1. Is it just me or does he look like Anton LeVay? The nut that started the

church of satan.

[mattclearing]

4. It's not just you.

Lenin too.

[leftchick]

7. ack! You are right!

[leftchick]

5. he looks like Willem Defoe's vampire

can't remember the name of the movie

[Beelzebud]

6. Yep. Shadows of the Vampire. the movie about the silent movie

Nosferatu

[mshasta]

2. I know he looks death...

[leftchick]

3. yada yada yada

extremely pleased with the federal governments response!!!

Why are people still dying you asshole?

[mshasta]

8. He’s mumbling something.. can't hear what he is saying..

oops the volumen was off!!!

[leftchick]

9. wtf? Suspension of the Clean Air Act???

another bush dream come true! :(

[Beelzebud]

10. Here it comes folks.

We only thought the storm was over...

[smbolisnch]

11. Just heard that.

why are they doing that??

[leftchick]

12. no restrictions on fuel emissions

it makes no fucking sense. But what ever does with these evil bastards?

[smbolisnch]

18. I must not be with it today. WTF does that have to do with Katrina??

And how can they claim that will help anything??

[leftchick]

30. they said it would expedite fuel and get the trucks their quicker

all total horseshit to gut the CAA. I can envision cheney in his bunker now thinking of every conceivable way to take advantage of this disaster for his oil buddies. This is just the start.

:grr:

[cbear70]

20. i may be naive.... but

how does that help? Or could you explain to me the ration of their thinking??

[mshasta]

14. wtf is that?/??

till sept 25 or 15 ...what ..is happening in front of our eyes??

[leftofthedial]

13. and the top priority?

suspend "temporarily" the Clean Air Act and allow the oil companies to pollute at will.

[cbear70]

15. wow

now thats compassion :sarcasm:

If I was in the hurricane affected region and I was listening to this, I would get physically ill. I really hate living here , where did my country go???

[leftchick]

17. I hate to say

I agree. where has my country gone?

[ptolle]

61. the new america

I'm not sure where I first saw it, but someone somewhere made the insightful comment that they USED to live in America, but now they lived in a homeland.Basically I just occupy a minimum of space and time in this country while trying to figure how to get things right again and how to minimize even more my footprint.I'm afraid not much can or will be done until the chimperor and his minions are gone. It is to be devoutly wished that disgust with their attitudes and actions will see them out the door as soon as possible, and inspire a movement to counteract the ill affects left in their wake.

[leftchick]

16. saying how great we have extended truckers hours driving

they are doing nothing but justifying all of their crimes.

[Solly Mack]

19. aid one disaster by creating another? (Clean Air Act suspension)

[rodeodance]

21. a lot of talk about hospital units but only one has been set up so far.

[rodeodance]

22. what a stark constrast. Affluent white men vs the people walking thru

mucky water!!

[rodeodance]

24. Chertoff was the attorney on Whitewater wasn't he?

[Solly Mack]

43. Yes, he was indeed

[G_j]

23. we all knew

they would attempt to USE any disaster or tragedy to further their own.

[rodeodance]

25. rummy--should proactively act--ok

[rodeodance]

27. gee, the DOD is going to make available 50 heliocoptors!!

[rodeodance]

28. Rummy--they needed these 2 DAYS ago!!

[rodeodance]

29. a ship will arrive Sept 8.

[G_j]

33. what ship is that?

with the 50 helicopters? wow, that is quick...NOT

[leftchick]

40. sept 8????

omg... :(

[rodeodance]

46. sorry, but i did not catch the name--it is one of several that would be

coming to help. yes, sept 8.

[leftchick]

50. The USS Shreveport left VA this AM

it takes that fucking long to get there? And what about the other medical ship that is already in the gulf?

[tgnyc]

58. Sept. 8?! Holy fucking shit! This nation STILL has no disater

preparedness, 4 years after 9/11!

[leftchick]

45. a "deep bench" wtf does that mean??

they keep saying they have a deep bench of NG and Reserve available. Well... Where The Fuck Are They?

[leftchick]

38. yes indeed we did

the MFers! I can see cheney calling all of his oil buddies from the bunker asking what they want.

[G_j]

54. I've said it far too many times

for the good of my own blood pressure, but these are the lowest, most despicable excuses for human beings one could find on the planet.

SCUM OF THE EARTH

[leftchick]

59. my blood pressure is sky high right now

I never thought so many evil rat bastards could exist in one place.

[leftchick]

26. bush says "All hands on deck"

no shit! They said he said that!!!! Like he would even know WTF that means in terms of actually DOING SOMETHING!!!

:puke:

[rodeodance]

31. um.. he is still in the air, not yet arrived in DC

[rodeodance]

32. Bush told him-leave no stone unturnded!!--in efforts to assist the people.

[rodeodance]

35. have made substancial progress. reporter asked him what have been

doing so far.

[rodeodance]

37. what steps are you taking for security (the looting).

[rodeodance]

39. says they are backup but local police do the security stuff.

[rodeodance]

42. asked about why so many many deployed to irag when we NG here at

home. he said we have the numbers we need here.

[rodeodance]

44. he basically said the Guard worked at the state level and not the DOD ??

[leftchick]

47. opposite of what a LANG Soldier said today

on cnn he was in Iraq and said his first duty was to the USA then the State of LA. All of the WH fuckers LIE.

[Nikki Stone 1]

56. That's insane. The police have nowhere to put these folks

and not much backup.

[leftchick]

34. no kidding

I think the WH PR machine is spinning out of control. Or perhaps they will have a photo of him on the phone on AF1 to cheney with a caption of him saying that.

[SammyWinstonJack]

48. All hands on deck?

Does that include the sailors he was speaking to at the Naval base? Are they being deployed to NOLA. Miss and Alabama?

[mshasta]

36. twins...

[leftchick]

41. "we did not anticipate the need of the NG"!!

fuckers

[rodeodance]

49. snippy comment--it is a plan in use for several months--it should not be

new to you. he said this to some reporter who asked about who would be responsible to who. what a snip!!

[rodeodance]

51. Chertoff is rather a snippy man in my book!!

[ChairmanAgnostic]

60. he is in a no-win situation

If he tells the truth, people panic
If he lies, he gets called on it
If he does his very best, people on all sides will find something to criticize - from the Faux commentator claiming we should pay nothing to help NO to several of us claiming we aren't doing enough.


I, for one, do not envy his position or his responsibility. He has had to fight turf battles with DOD, FEMA, and many other agencies, on top of dealing with the worst storm to hit the southeast coast ever.

Yeah, he ain't pretty, but I will lay asside my distrust of all things shrub and give this guy full support until it becomes impossible to support him.

The issues are life and death, not politics. i get the feeling that he has those priorities in mind as well.

[Lindsay]

52. Thanks to all of you posting on the bullshit.

I cannot listen to these lying assholes.

[leftchick]

55. it was awful, I need a shower

the idiot news bunny on CNN says after it was over how "Unprecedented" this press conference was. Trying to make it look like they know wtf they are doing.

[Neecy]

53. unbelieveable!

Note how they're sluffing off the responsibility for the widespread looting to the governor of Louisiana!

Partisan even in a disaster. Bastards.

[leftchick]

57. well she is a Dem after all

she should have deployed the NG that are guarding oil in a ME country at the moment. :puke:
