So we waited 4 days to respond? :eyes:

Just giving a heads up on their primary talking point.

[skooooo]

1. Hey, now..

Condi had to get her shoes ready, and Bush had to finish his cake.

[mzmolly]

2. Well when we put it into perspective.

Shoes and cake do come first.

[texpatriot2004]

3. Yeah, and Bush had "Operation Enduring Vacation" just before

that and Cheney still has "other priorities" just like he did in Viet Nam.

[mzmolly]

7. "Operation Enduring Vacation"

:rofl: Bad time to laugh, but that's priceless.

[texpatriot2004]

10. Yeah, I heard it here at DU and I loved it so much I am using it

over and over and over...because it's TRUE and it is priceless too eh.

Bush is always on "Operation Enduring Vacation."

[TheCowsCameHome]

13. Good one! That'll stick

[aquart]

5. And get in that extra round of golf.

Mustn't forget the golf.

[Horse with no Name]

14. and Rove had to go hand out checks

in Crawford.
Priorities man, priorities.

[madmax]

4. It's bad alright

but the first disaster that led to the long list of disasters was the day Democracy died at the hands of the U.S.S.C. 12/12/00.

[aquart]

9. Disaster for us, bonanza for them.

[distantearlywarning]

6. Well, don't you know the LA governor and the mayor

wouldn't let them in?

They were just powerless to do anything until the governor and mayor said it was ok. Damn those local officials! Interfering with the federal process again! Maybe one of these days the federal goverment and FEMA might actually be able to wrest some power and authority out of the hands of these god-like local officials!

:sarcasm:

[mzmolly]

8. Well they'll have a tough time explaining the letter the Gov sent on 8/28

pleading for help wont they?

[CityZen-X]

11. The Worst Disaster?

When this country allowed the scum of the Earth corporate butt puppets to steal the presidency of the United States in 2000!

[TheCowsCameHome]

12. Only a touch worse than the Bush administration. Maybe a tie.

[bpilgrim]

15. we waited 5 days to respond -> MON-TUE-WED-THUR-FRI

we 'responded' on the 5th day of this disaster.

fyi

peace

[MadeinOhio]

16. Its the worst disaster for.......OIL.

You should shut your mouth Chertoff and get shipped into prison. :mad:

[Matariki]

17. worst disaster in history?

that's kinda stretching it. a bit american-centric anyway. worst disaster in us history more likely. i would have said 'american history' but that does a deep disservice to native americans.

[zbdent]

18. I'm sure those people crushed in the cars in the California freeway

a number of years back might take comfort in the fact that they were not in the worst disaster in history.

Someone should tell Chertoff that there's this book out, "The Pessimist's Guide to History" . . .

[rainbow4321]

19. Correction, Chertoff..worst **response** in history...

thanks to the worst prez in history.

And I am tired of their fucking excuse "well we really had TWO disasters, the hurricane AND the flood so THAT was a shock and it delayed us".

[mzmolly]

21. I agree. If they had TWO disasters why didn't they respond to ONE of them

:eyes:

20. No, the Bush coup d'etats were (2000 and 2004). n/t
