Is the truth finally dawning on the Little Chimperor? -PIX->>>

[Stephanie]

Does he know he's in deep shit?











U.S. President George W. Bush (L) speaks before departing the White House to tour areas devastated by Hurricane Katrina, September 2, 2005. Relief efforts after Hurricane Katrina are 'not acceptable', Bush said Friday before heading out on a tour of storm-ravaged New Orleans and other areas of the U.S. Gulf Coast. Beside Bush is Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff, who will accompany him on his tour. (Kevin Lamarque/Reuters)

1. No, he probably thinks he'll be lauded for his incompetence.

In his world of black is white, he probably thinks he will be adored for his pathetically late, pathetically anemic response.

[photuris]

2. He slept well

Look at his eyes. No bags under them. Every effing person I've run into today has bags. Last night was tough, tough night of news.

[Stephanie]

12. I have bags

definitely

[kliljedahl]

3. Relief efforts after Hurricane Katrina are 'not acceptable',

Bet that means the head of FEMA will get a "Medal of Honor"

4. Chertoff looks like a freaking zombie

Brains! Brains!

[DoYouEverWonder]

8. His real name should be

Skelator. Somehow that seems to fit better.

[myrna minx]

5. He probably believes that the good people of NOLA

will greet him with flowers and chocolates. This bastard is the most incompetent pos that has ever walked the earth. Too bad Condi won't come to show off her new shoes. :grr: :grr:

[TornadoTN]

6. Does it strike you a little funny about his atire?

Here he is, getting ready to tour a ravaged and suffering area, and he is wearing a $5,000 suit? I'm thinking from a marketing/P.R. perspective that these people on the Gulf Coast are going to be a little pissed off that Little Lord Pissypants is here just for a photo-op. Didn't Bill Clinton try to roll up his sleeves (literally and figuratively), get his boots on the ground and show some compassion?

At any rate, his wardrobe is trivial, but I think it speaks to his mindset.

7. finally sobering up

[Crankie Avalon]

9. I think he's waiting for a bigger company to come and bail him out...

...at every stage of his pampered life, just as he was running whatever company he was set up with into the ground, some bigger company would come to buy him up and bail him out.

Where's the entity big enough to come and absorb his losses as "leader of the free world"? He's waiting for his next golden parachute.

[madokie]

13. Don't be thinking about those pesky Chinese now

[nonconformist]

10. Yeah - the truth of his PR nightmare. Nothing more. nt

[symbolman]

11. Did you notice how he made it sound like he was going to LAND

in NO, get on the ground, talk to THEM people, etc..

He's going to fly over and hide behind that fatass lardbrain Barbour who'll dress up some of his golfing buddies in cheap walmart clothes and put on MAC truck baseball hats and "thank" the "president" for his "courage"..

Willing to bet 50 bucks he has his hands down his pants as he flys over NO.

[NYC Liberal]

14. No, that looks like someone who doesn't give a shit about his own people

[Spike from MN]

15. The relief efforts aren't acceptable all right.

After all, they made it possible for some of those "colored folks" to get out. How did that happen? :sarcasm:

Four or five days into this (depending on when you start counting) he's just NOW figuring out what a complete disaster the "relief efforts" have been? What isn't acceptable is his complete lack of leadership. What isn't acceptable is his eating cake with McCain while people were drowning. What isn't acceptable is his strumming a guitar while people were dying. What isn't acceptable is his unwilingness to cut his vacation short and send ALL available help to NO immediately the minute he was informed that the levees were breeched. What isn't acceptable is that the response would have been completely different if it was rich white people that were stranded in NO. What isn't acceptable is FEMA's inability to respond to this disaster. What isn't acceptable is the fact that this guy is still in office despite his gross incompetence and failed leadership. I could go on but I think you get my point.

[SiouxJ]

16. He has no clue, what to do.

He's panicking because the people will finally realize - the emperor has no clothes. The emperor has no clothes!

[mogster]

17. He looks nervous

Perhaps he's read some history?

TRANSCRIPT - THE CLOSED TRIAL OF NICOLAE AND ELENA CEAUSESCU

A voice: A glass of water !


NICOLAE CEAUSESCU: I only recognize the Grand National Assembly. I
will only speak in front of it.


PROSECUTOR: In the same way he refused to hold a dialogue with the
people, now he also refuses to speak with us. He always claimed to act
and speak on behalf of the people, to be a beloved son of the people,
but he only tyrannized the people all the time. You are faced with
charges that you held really sumptuous celebrations on all holidays at
your house. The details are known. These two defendants procured the
most luxurious foodstuffs and clothes from abroad. They were even
worse than the king, the former king of Romania. The people only
received 200 grams per day, against an identity card. These two
defendants have robbed the people, and not even today do they want to
talk. They are cowards. We have data concerning both of them. I ask
the chairman of the prosecutor's office to read the bill of
indictment.


CHIEF PROSECUTOR: Esteemed chairman of the court, today we have to
pass a verdict on the defendants Nicolae Ceausescu and Elena Ceausescu
who have committed the following offenses: Crimes against the people.
They carried out acts that are incompatible with human dignity and
social thinking; they acted in a despotic and criminal way; they
destroyed the people whose leaders they claimed to be. Because of the
crimes they committed against the people, I plead, on behalf of the
victims of these two tyrants, for the death sentence for the two
defendants. The bill of indictment contains the following points:
Genocide, in accordance with Article 356 of the penal code. Two: Armed
attack on the people and the state power, in accordance with Article
163 of the penal code. The destruction of buildings and state
institutions, undermining of the national economy, in accordance with
Articles 165 and 145 of the penal code. They obstructed the normal
process of the economy.

PROSECUTOR: Did you hear the charges? Have you understood them?

CEAUSESCU: I do not answer, I will only answer questions before the
Grand National Assembly. I do not recognize this court. The charges
are incorrect, and I will not answer a single question here.

PROSECUTOR: Note: He does not recognize the points mentioned in the
bill of indictment.

CEAUSESCU: I will not sign anything.

PROSECUTOR: This situation is known. The catastrophic situation of the
country is known all over the world. Every honest citizen who worked
hard here until 22 December knows that we do not have medicines, that
you two have killed children and other people in this way, that there
is nothing to eat, no heating, no electricity.
