SHAME ON BUSH! MSNBC: Death toll in New Orleans may reach 10,000-15,000
Edited on Sat Sep-03-05 07:59 PM by Bluebear
Tucker Carlson reported that the death toll in New Orleans alone could reach that staggering number.

NEVER EVER FORGET:

Monday, August 29:

Partying with John McCain. Mmmm! Frosting!

Selling seniors on Medicare prescription reform. "Heh heh heh! Heh heh heh!"

Tuesday, August 30:

Waking up refreshed at the Hotel del Coronado after schmoozing with Republican donors. "Heh heh heh! 500 thread count sheets!"

Strumming his guitar with a country singer. "Heh heh heh! Ah'm an old cowhand from the Rio Grande! Heh heh heh! Heh heh heh! The F chord, it's hard work!"

Friday, September 2

The media announces that Bush decides to "cut his vacation short" by two days. En route from his mansion in Texas, he "requests the pilot to fly low over New Orleans." Can you read his mind? "Am I looking concerned and resolute enough? Is the photographer getting my good side? Can we sell these like we sold the pictures of me after 9/11 looking all concerned-like?"

.....
Monday, September 3...Bush says the Federal response to the hurricane is qoute: not going exactly right. However, he goes on: Nobody could have predicted this devastation.

This President is irrelevant and dangerous.

4. 9/11 five times over
Good thing there's no Katarinaland for Dubya to invade.

Of course, this time he'd have to invade using the Coast Guard -- the rest of the military is busy.

6. Just for comparison . . .
Edited on Sat Sep-03-05 08:38 PM by Jack Rabbit
A few earthquakes in China over the years have killed between 200-250,000; these are the worst disasters.

A cyclone and tidal wave, India, killed 15,000 in 1977
an earthquake killed 15,000 in Kran, 1978
Huricaine Flora killed about 6000 in Cuba and Haita, 1963
Hurricaine Fifi killed about 8000 in Honduras in 1974
An earthquake in Guatamala killed 23,000 in 1976
The volcanic eruption of Krakatoa and tidal wave killed 36,000 in Indonesia in 1883

The United States has never had a natural disaster approaching this kind of casualty figure.

The death toll in the Chicago fire of 1871 is estimated at 300.
The death toll in the San Francisco earthquake and fire of 1906 is estimated at 700, although it actually may have been quite a bit higher.
A hurracaine in Galveston, Texas killed about 6000 in 1900

7. We'v got to keep our eyes on these F*ckers
Just wait and see... they are gonna do everything
they can to hide, obscure, fabricate and decieve
in order to distract attention away from the true
death toll.

It's already happening.. press is being banned all over the place.

Hopefully our outcry will remain loud, constant and unavoidable.
