Aid offers pour in from around the globe

[RBHam]

WASHINGTON - In a dramatic turnabout, the United States is now on the receiving end of help from around the world as some two dozen countries offer post-hurricane assistance.

Venezuela, a target of frequent criticism by the Bush administration, offered humanitarian aid and fuel. Venezuela’s Citgo Petroleum Corp. pledged a $1 million donation for hurricane aid.

With offers from the four corners of the globe pouring in, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has decided “no offer that can help alleviate the suffering of the people in the afflicted area will be refused,” State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said Thursday.

12. It's too big a blow to their giant collective ego to accept help

or even acknowledge it. Just like Bush's bootstrappin' rejection of aid offers. Even a minor dent in their pseudo-machismo and their whole world comes crashing down on them.

8. Probably Not.

Still, Bush told ABC-TV: “I’m not expecting much from foreign nations because we hadn’t asked for it. I do expect a lot of sympathy and perhaps some will send cash dollars. But this country’s going to rise up and take care of it.”

“You know,” he said, “we would love help, but we’re going to take care of our own business as well, and there’s no doubt in my mind we’ll succeed. And there’s no doubt in my mind, as I sit here talking to you, that New Orleans is going to rise up again as a great city.”

Translated from the Dumbassian, what Il Douche was saying here is "We-uns got BIG dicks! We-uns kin handle it oursells! Where was allus you peeple when I wanted to git Saddam fer trying t' kill mah Daddy?"

6. Wonder about Condi...................

attending a New York play on last night. Was she thinking about those poor people dying in New Orleans when she said this: “no offer that can help alleviate the suffering of the people in the afflicted area will be refused,”
