rename NO: Grover Nordquist's bathtub

[Hamlette]

this is what happens when you let people who hate government run the government.

We need to keep reminding people of that. They let 9/11 happen, now this.

1. AMEN!!!! A big bravo to you, Hamlette!!!

nail, meet head. Bingo was his name-o! This is exactly OUR problem in this country. Too many people who want the services but don't want to pay for them. Then elect a government that has even more disdain for govt.

2. My sentiments exactly.

Though Norquist doesn't deserve having a piece of shit named after him, let alone one of the world's great cities.

3. Republicans drowned the Federal Government in Lake Ponchatrain.

4. I've heard that the FEMA people are referring to it as

"Lake George"

5. This cannot be emphasized enough...

On another thread I posted this:

This whole disaster should end the "I'll run government like a business" mantra often used in campaigns for public office.

How many times have we heard that from candidates (usually Republicans) for elected office? How many times have we heard how "government" is "out of control" and needs the steady hand of someone in business to guide it? How many times have we heard "I've had to meet a payroll!" from a business owner who believes he can run government better? Bullshit! It is clear now that we need people of vision in office. People who are skilled in public service, not some corporate yahoos who think their perceived CEO skills are what qualifies them for the job.

Both Bush and Cheney touted their CEO oil corporate skills in 2000. And the result? Record high gasoline prices and this hurricane debacle. Perhaps being a CEO didn't prepare these two bozos for a natural disaster and how to prepare and provide relief. It appears that screaming at some secretary to get them their coffee does not give them the experience to plan and organize a rescue effort. I think now we'll see a revive interest in the public service experience of candidates for public office.

We need to investigate how many other agencies have been hobbled into incompetence to satisfy the conservative dream!
