Chimpy: "I'm not expecting much from foreign nations" while offers pour i
Edited on Thu Sep-01-05 07:46 PM by joanne
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.”

Offers of help from so many countries appear to be going INGORED.

21. Easier to steal.
If he stole the food and water, clothing, etc. then he has to move that merchandise.
Much easier to just embezzle the cash donations.

23. ...with the added bonus of making it all about him ...
Implying that he will be personally offended if the offers (which he claims he doesn't want anyway) aren't up to his mighty expectations. And not caring that he sounds like a jerk.

He's a master of the multiple-pronged insult, isn't he!


p.s. I know that the vast majority of Americans are NOT this arrogant and self-centered.

4. Yep, the idea of someone GIVING something of their own free will
and without being asked utterly confounds Bush.

Mexico
China

No wonder Bush is turning them down. He doesn't want to admit the painful truth that America needs to be saved by developing countries like Honduras and El Salvador and Communist countries like China.

Arrogant prick....

15. They're just stumbling from one pile of dog shit to the next, tripping . .
Edited on Thu Sep-01-05 07:51 PM by hatrack
. . . falling, sprawling, getting up and stumbling on to the next turd nest.

And it's flying up and spattering across their tailor-made suits and it's spraying them in the face and they just can't stop stumbling around when faced with really having to lead and make decisions.

Every time I think this administration can't possibly be any more clueless and callous and arrogant and just plain detached from reality, they keep right on amazing me.

I wish the world , if it were possible without hurting the average person, would just tell Bush to f**k himself.

22. the reason why he's not expecting much........
Edited on Thu Sep-01-05 07:56 PM by tulsakatz
........is because he already told them no when they offered earlier!!!

I posted an article about it earlier today called Descent into Hell.

He might have confidence that it's going to be ok but no one else has that impression!
