Letter From Michael Moore to Pres. Bush:
Friday, September 2nd, 2005

Dear Mr. Bush:

Any idea where all our helicopters are? It's Day 5 of Hurricane Katrina and thousands remain stranded in New Orleans and need to be airlifted. Where on earth could you have misplaced all our military choppers? Do you need help finding them? I once lost my car in a Sears parking lot. Man, was that a drag.

Also, any idea where all our national guard soldiers are? We could really use them right now for the type of thing they signed up to do like helping with national disasters. How come they weren't there to begin with?

Last Thursday I was in south Florida and sat outside while the eye of Hurricane Katrina passed over my head. It was only a Category 1 then but it was pretty nasty. Eleven people died and, as of today, there were still homes without power. That night the weatherman said this storm was on its way to New Orleans. That was Thursday! Did anybody tell you? I know you didn't want to interrupt your vacation and I know how you don't like to get bad news. Plus, you had fundraisers to go to and mothers of dead soldiers to ignore and smear. You sure showed her!

4. FINALLY! Someone tells it like it is! THIS IS RACIAL BIGOTRY!
If they were all white people, they would have been out of there by Monday night, Tuesday morning. THIS IS BLATANT RACISM! THIS IS PURE BULLSHIT! THIS IS BIGOTRY AT IT'S WORSE! The longer this goes on, the more PISSED OFF I get! I can only imagine how ANGRY the people living it are. AND Mike Brown, FEMA Director should be FIRED for blaming the victims for staying. What a BASTARD!!!!:grr:
