Smirky wasted no time going to WTC ground zero for a photo-op

[lpbk2713]

with the firemen. So where the fuck is he now? The simple minded fuck.

[gratuitous]

1. Actually, he DID waste a lot of time

By the time Chimpy got done running like a scared rabbit from hidey hole to hidey hole, Mayor Giuliani was already striding the streets of New York like a colossus and Bill Clinton had returned to the country from a trip to Australia to lend support through his presence.

6. Right

He had to wait to make sure it was safe for himself and then surround himself with the real hero's.

9. Yes, I agree. He wasted a bunch of time. Just like now.

He flew to Omaha then Lousiana (because they didn't know if the terrorists were going to try to take AF1 out....duh if they'd wanted to do that they would have done it before he went to STRATCOM! PLUS..if you're worried about an air-to-air strike...put the bloody plane down and park it!)

Smoke and mirrors.

I think in the next few weeks we are going to find much negligence from our "esteemed" president and his cabal.

14. Yep. he showed up only after loud voices

in NYC expressed their outrage over his absence.

No doubt Karen Hughes had to put the finishing touches on the script George acted out for us, and Karl had to vet the cast, so there was something of a hold up for the opening of his play "The Cheerleader on a Pyre."

2. No, he took days to get to NY also. Seems to be his mo.

Remember he flew all over the country looking for a hidey-hole and Clinton, who was in Australia, got to NY faster than Bush. He also did the same thing for the tsunami - he's just not fast enough on his feet to do anybody any good, but he's right there for the photo-ops. Total waste of a human being.

3. did you check under Cheneys desk....

I heard that he spends a lot of time under there.... and someting about a blue dress.

we're doomed people.

4. Speaking of photo ops he did mention

The Catholic Charities, army of compassion, and dedicated citezens in his address today.

5. whitehouse.gov is already on top of it...

With the wonders of photoshop:

7. Shameless. Completely, utterly shameless. nt

8. Wow, it's like the problem is solved! I feel all warm and fuzzy.

I wonder what President Carter and Habitat For Humanity are going to do.

12. Hell, thanks to PhotoShop the asshole doesn't even need to leave

the White House. He can stand in front of "Mission Accomplished" banners in his flight suit all he wants to now and the RWers will eat that shit up.

10. He didn't show up until Friday, September 14, 2001

n/t

11. Sorry, that's wrong.

New Yorkers were on their own for a while...& the silence from D.C. was deafening...I know, I was there.

Guiliani led the city along with heroic police, fire, EMS workers, & lots of regular folks who jumped in & helped. Also, surrounding areas responded immediately, from the boroughs & New Jersey & Ct.

The volunteers were overwhelming, & it was a magnificent effort.

13. He only does photo ops with black people

who have been properly vetted and brainwashed. He can't be seen with your average African American. That would alienate his redneck, white fundie base!
