[rodeodance]

[rodeodance]

5. Chernoff will have update later so Scotty not too specific

[rodeodance]

8. gee. homes wiped out along the coast says Scotty.

[deadparrot]

6. Yeah, and it's really doing a whole lot of good. nt

[Duncan Grant]

7. Scotty: unable to offer an estimate of the damage or total cost (nt)

[rodeodance]

9. "why has it taken 3 or more days for Fed. gov. to start relief"--?asks

a reporter.

[rodeodance]

11. Scotty saying lots of 'pre-work" done to help. Did not really answer.

[Duncan Grant]

10. Scotty: I can understand the frustration people are experiencing

It's going to take time to reach some people. The Fed gov't is assessing (it's our job)...

He's tap dancing as fast as he can folks. :grr:

[rodeodance]

13. reporter--people withour food and water for 3 days and Scotty says

we say them yesterday (from Air Force ONE).

[rodeodance]

16. Scotty really not able (not allowed) to answer these questions.

[rodeodance]

18. says Congress if returning from break and we will work with them for

funding. says WH already talking with some members.

[speedoo]

12. Response to criticism:

"I can understand how people are frustrated."

In other words the crtiticism is unwarranted.

More statisics of stuff "delivered". Delivered to WHERE you fucking liar?

[Roland99]

14. If they don't secure the area, * won't be showing up.

[gkhouston]

20. Is that supposed to be an incentive for the

folks putting up a ruckus to stop? :spray:

[Duncan Grant]

17. Helen Thomas: Any chance we'll move Nat'l Guard members from Iraq?

Scotty offers lame B.S. answer - (I didn't catch it all). Did anyone get what his reply was?

[Ganja Ninja]

21. God bless her. n/t

[rodeodance]

22. I missed that question from Helen.

[LSK]

19. Scotty, WHERE THE FUCK IS THE NATIONAL GUARD?!?!?!?!?!

Anyone ask that?

[rodeodance]

26. Scott saying FEMA will have update news conference later today.

[Duncan Grant]

23. Scotty: We intend to accept international aid (paraphrased) (nt)

[Spazito]

33. My understanding is that when bush was asked about this at his

interview this morning, he said he would accept 'cash money' from other countries but the other aid wasn't needed, that the U.S. could look after it's own.

I hope there will be a transcript of that interview soon so we can see exactly what he said.

[KansDem]

53. "...he said he would accept 'cash money' from other countries"

They'd better make sure they get a receipt.

[Gruenemann]

81. Cash money that will probably be spent

on anything BUT hurricane relief.

[lse7581011]

65. Something to the effect

that "merika" can take care of its own!

[Beetwasher]

24. Anyone Ask: WHERE IS THE VP AND WHAT IS HE DOING DURING THIS

National tragedy of historic proportion????

[Media_Lies_Daily]

30. He's planning the next "terrorist" attack.

[merbex]

25. You couldn't pay me enough money to defend this Administration's

pitiful,corrupt,CRIMINALLY NEGLIGENT behavior

What a whore

[rodeodance]

31. reporter: Any effort to 'federalize" the efforts?--not just a task force.?

that was a good one--so clear that Fed gov plan is not working!

[rodeodance]

32. Did Scotty just say NO Tolerance for people who loot water and food?

[rodeodance]

38. then he said that is why we have supplies in place. Well scotty, these

supplies are NOT reaching people!!!!

[Solly Mack]

27. as an aside, FEMA guy said earlier that "it's 'acceptable' for relief

to take 5-6 days to get to people"

On CNNi.

Unreal.

[rodeodance]

45. yes, heard that FEMA guy say that yesterday.

[Media_Lies_Daily]

[Webster Green]

No tolerance for people taking food and water. :mad:

[Roland99]

49. Transporter beam from the USS Enterprise?

[Duncan Grant]

35. Scotty isn't answering questions, he's deferring reporters...

to other agencies and officials. (same old song and dance)

[rodeodance]

40. over and over he is doing this.

[Blue_Roses]

36. what a bunch of fucking bullshit!!!!!!

He is tap dancing aroung the questions. Guess he can't just come out and say, "we are a bunch of bigoted, greedy, incompentent assholes, who only care about making a buck,"...:grr:

[Libby2]

37. Scotty needs to remember

[seemslikeadream]

[rodeodance]

44. Well folks, -it is business as usual at the WH!

[snowbird42]

46. He doesnt know babies are dying

[Just Me]

47. Scottie sez: "blah blah blah bullshit blah blah more bullshit blah"

UGH! x(

[Duncan Grant]

50. Scotty now trying to define "short-term" and "long-term" strategies...

for the recovery.

How can one man say so little with so many words?

[LSK]

51. anyone ask him why hes having these talks on THURSDAY

And not on MONDAY????????

[rodeodance]

"national response plan implemented by Chernoff just the other day" it

was the first time it has been used. So, now we know it was implemented LATE-instead of last SATURDAY! when we knew for sure the coast was to be blasted!!

[LSK]

54. Remember, this is the responsibility of Homeland Security

And their national disaster plan.

Remember he just said whos responsible for 100,000 deaths.

[Duncan Grant]

55. Scotty: Bush's lunch with Chairman Greenspan not previously scheduled

* lunching with Greenspan today to discuss economic impact of Katrina.

[rodeodance]

56. again he is talking of FED doing prioritizing!! dah!!

[rodeodance]

57. Scotty--not the time for 'fingerpointing" Wanna bet scotty!!

[rodeodance]

60. well,scotty, Tuesday was too late to deploy FEMA!!

[hatrack]

83. Wow! The Chimp took action, boldly altering his daily schedule!

Never have MS Outlook keystrokes more boldly served the cause of human dignity and freedom. :puke:

[coffeenap]

58. The only acceptable response from Scott is to say:

I quit! This administration is criminal!

[LSK]

59. remember we took a number of steps prior to the hurricane

Like cut funding, cut funding, cut funding, terror terror terror.

[rodeodance]

64. scotty keeps saying Fema was 'prepositioned' with assets. well,

they must have positioned in the wrong places Scotty.

[Duncan Grant]

63. Scotty: This is not a time for politics or finger-pointing.

The last thing victims need is partisianship (blah, blah, blah)

[Duncan Grant]

68. This was his answer to the cost of the war in Iraq. (nt)

[rodeodance]

69. now he said that the Gen at Army Corp of Engineers saying there was

problem with any flooding plans/arrangements. So,......

[LSK]

70. its a time to learn guitar pickin - yeeeehawwwww

[Jeanette in FL]

66. Fuck You, Scotty

"This is not a time to play politics" when asked about the underfunding of the Levee systems to enable to fund the Iraqi war.. This is not a time to point fingers. Fuck you, asshole.

[LSK]

67. this is not a time for politics - media grilling him about levee funding!!

Talk to General Sprock????

[rodeodance]

72. scoty -we will naturally look back and learn form situations such as

this. Well Scotty, we will look back also!!!!!! and are doing so right now.

[Duncan Grant]

71. Reporter: Is there a request for international aid?

Scotty: Ask the Dept. of Homeland Security. We are open to all offers of assistance from other nations.

There have been no specific requests from this administration for aid (paraphrased).

[rodeodance]

73. yes, this is second time he has deflected questions related to interna-

tional aid. I take that to mean the the WH has not yet accepted/coordinated any aid.

[rodeodance]

74. "Big news:--per cnn--Pres. will take a tour and Clinton and Poppy will

do disaster relief.
cnn cut away, i had to laugh. they know there in no news comming from SCOTTY>

[LSK]

Going on tour with Mark Wills??? Yeehaww, pickin n grinnin'

[Duncan Grant]

75. Reporter: Any request to conserve gasoline?

Scotty: Strategic Petroleum Reserve opened, * asked people to conserve,...

CNN cuts away :argh:

[rodeodance]

76. CNN cut away--no new news from Scotty today folks.

[Kool Kitty]

78. Oh, good heavens, no!!!!

If we conserve, how would Bush's oil friends make an obscene profit? Scott's answer was the usual, "You heard the president's response to that this morning. People should conserve, in places where they can."

[Duncan Grant]

77. CSPAN still covering...(nt)

[Duncan Grant]

80. Was that Walter Mondale asking a question? Did I imagine that?

It doesn't really matter I suppose - Scotty promised to come back to it later...

[Duncan Grant]

82. Reporter: Are price controls on gasoline ruled out by this administration

Scotty: We're taking steps with the Dept. of Energy re: supply. It's not something I've heard discussed.

[Duncan Grant]

84. Reporter: We're still in hurricane season.

What is this administration doing to prepare?

Scotty: We have people who are focused on that.

[Duncan Grant]

85. Reporter: You're deflected all updates to the FEMA briefing.

Scotty: Your characterization is just wrong Jessica.

[LSK]

86. whitehouse.gov feed just cut out?

[blogslut]

88. scotty walked

[Duncan Grant]

87. Well, that was reassuring.

Not. :eyes:
