1. wow kicked recommended

[imax2268]

2. recommended...

it's about dam time that the media starts calling it like it is...this man and his administration are worthless...like Schnieder(sp?) "this is a total breakdown of authority"...and I also like what he said about leadership...which BushCo doesn't have one clue as to what that means...

I have to say...Kudos to CNN for telling it like it is...

3. I thought Kagan was a rightie

[tinrobot]

14. Isn't she married to Oxyrush?

If so, I would say yes.

7. His couch is a far better

place to be than in his crappy arms. LOL

[jpgray]

5. Kagen is a Limbot and Schneider is an AEI flunkey

What's going on here, I wonder?

[slutticus]

8. It's called "jumping ship"

They don't want to go down with *.

[MADem]

10. Schneider is a closeted gay man, I have heard

It's hard to determine politics of a person when their essential being is so hidden.

[Poiuyt]

18. He reminds me of Bunsen Honeydew

[physioex]

20. Maybe they are Finally Seeing....

Shrub for what he is, an Incompetent Twit.......

[goclark]

6. My mouth is hanging open!

I never thought I would see the day when tight lipped Schneider and Rushball's "bride to be" Kagen ripped into Bush!

Keep it up!
Nominated!!!!

[MADem]

9. HOLY SWEET MERCY!!!

Bush 1=Andrew, WEAK RESPONSE
Bush 2=Katrina, WEAK RESPONSE

And what is gonna happen to the economy after this mess? What is happening to it already, even before this mess? I didn't see gas prices going down....

That's the thing that will resonate. It's what did Poppychimp in, even with a flag-waving war upon which to rest one's laurels.

11. holy shit, the truth on the teevee

pigs lining up on all runways.

Great line. :toast:

12. Stunning, if you have been following these 2 "news" people

to hear them be so critical of the president. They of course weren't as scathing as I would have liked, but for them this is a big deal.

Tying it in the end to our total lack of preparedness for a terrorist attack was particularly striking. That question will have to be asked again and again in the coming months.

Bush and his admin are so freakin incompetent it's almost beyond words. They have managed to fool a lot of Americans with their fear/patriotism nonsense, but this is different. There's no enemy to blame it on, no nationalistic angle. Their failures are being laid bare on this one.

13. Self delete (dupe)

[K8-EEE]

15. Arrrg! My Speakers Not Working, Synopsis Anybody?

What did Rush's galpal say??

[in_cog_ni_to]

17. Daryn said "his visit and press conference looked like an OBVIOUS

political-op because if he wanted a briefing, he could have had that at the WH." (paraphrased :))

23. Here's a part of the transcript and a link to it

KAGAN: Well, we've been listening in to President Bush. He had a few comments, also received a briefing in this hangar in Mobile, Alabama. He arrived there within the last half hour. President Bush being very honest earlier today, saying he's not satisfied with the results he's seen so far, but today, now saying, "Where it's not going right, we're going to make it right," a quote from the president.

Also making reference to the $10.5 billion that Congress has appropriated to help get things started in the rebuilding and repair of the Gulf Coast. He said, I got news for you, that's just a small downpayment on the work that needs to be done. And he believes out of the chaos is going to come a rebuilt Gulf Coast.

We were talking with senior political analyst Bill Schneider before we went to this. Bill, before we heard the president's comments, I got to say, that was rather an odd thing to be watching. The president finally making it to the Gulf Coast after five days and then spending a big chunk of time, when he could be out seeing the devastation -- getting a briefing that frankly he could have gotten back at the White House. If not then, then on board Air Force One. A lot of that seemed like a political opportunity for the cameras and for the Republican governors of Mississippi and Alabama.

SCHNEIDER: Well, it did. I'm not sure that's what most Americans and certainly most people in the area wanted to hear, as if the president were being filled in, told what was going on. There was a lot of thanking, a lot of congratulations. Look, these are frantic, desperate people who have lost everything, who are in a desperate situation. What they want is someone to come there and say the government is in control, we have control of the situation, there's a leader in charge here, and we're going to make it work.

This portion is down the screen a bit. Better to search for "Schneider" when you go there.

21. That's exactly what it was...

A political photo op! Nothing more. Then we see him walking with two black girls around Mobile, AL. That was another photo op. Chimpyboy needs to GO! He's worthless.
