The Chimperor** Is Going To TOUR By Helo The Katrina Damage
Edited on Thu Sep-01-05 10:05 AM by leftchick
<snip>

White House press secretary Scott McClellan said Bush will survey the Alabama and Mississippi coast by helicopter, then go on to New Orleans. He also will tour some locations on the ground. He got a higher-altitude view Wednesday when Air Force One dropped several thousand feet to fly directly over the region during Bush's flight from his Texas ranch back to Washington.

"The president has wanted to visit the area as soon as possible," McClellan said. "We didn't go sooner because we didn't want to be disruptive of efforts on the ground."

7. Actually, that makes sense
It's a desperate situation down there. No way is he going to "tour" without disrupting the rescue effort. Better he should stay home and just send his helicoptor to air drop bottled water.

15. It Make NO Sense To Me...
I see the point you're getting at... but here's what they said:

<< "We didn't go sooner because we didn't want to be disruptive of efforts on the ground.">>

WHAT "efforts on the ground" did they not want to disrupt? At that early stage... how would they have disrupted those efforts by doing a fly-over?

If they they are planning a meet-n-greet, rope-line hug-n-kiss, handing-out-ice-bags-photo-op... then yes... that would be disruptive under ANY circumstances.

But I don't think that's what they have in mind, and I don't think it's what people want or expect. It sounds to me like Scotty is trying to cover Bush's lazy-ass 'Que Será Será' attitude and to try and hide his annoyance that it disrupted his vacation.

8. Cop out!
He didn't get there sooner because he had other priorities like FUND RAISING AND EATING CAKE! And because he just doesn't give a shit!

5. He knows that my Brothers and Sisters Don't Want To See Him !


Would you want to see his sorry butt - not me!

If he came anywhere near me at the Super Dome he would hear a ton of words from me.

I have zero tolerance for that clown.

most disruptive to the ground efforts.

Fuck him. Stay in DC with his bike and video games.
