Bush looks PISSED OFF coming out of his meeting with Blanco

[Walt Starr]

He looked seriously pissed off. Didn't say anything, just waved and waled to Marine One.

[FreedomAngel82]

1. Interesting

Someone didn't get his way it seems.

[ShrewdLiberal]

29. Either that, or Blanco smacked him with the truth.

[kestrel91316]

39. I hope she smacked him with her fist.

[newyawker99]

77. Hi ShrewdLiberal!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[thedailyshow]

2. pics?

Hope she gave him an earful!

[Libby2]

3. I hope so. eom

[Grateful for Hope]

4. She is probably refusing to lie for him

and take the blame.

[Imagevision]

54. WOULD SOMEONE PLEASE RECOMMEND THIS UP?

DO IT FOR THE PEOPLE OF NO.

[Peace Patriot]

58. Done! But, Walt, please provide a news link! n/t

[CatholicEdHead]

5. W probably expected to be bowed down to

and lavished with lots of Thank You's which rightly never came. He is so used to getting HIS way or nothing.

[Brother Buzz]

6. Perhaps Witt put the buzz in Blanco's ear

[Field Of Dreams]

10. I hope Witt was sitting right next to Shrub! n/t

[RevCheesehead]

7. Since when did the blivet ever get along with women in authority?

Or Democrats?

[Fleshdancer]

8. Here's what Bush needs to ask himself:

When Bush was a GOVERNOR and Clinton was Prez and if Texas got slammed with the worst natural disaster in American history, would Bush agree to sign away the TX National Guard to the Feds? Especially after the feds sat on their asses for days and people were dying?

This is such an odd thing for him to get pissy over.

[merbex]

21. If any Dem leaders are reading this the above post is an excellent

point

[DoYouEverWonder]

40. I don't recall anyone every asking FL

to turn over control to the FEDs even after Andrew and 4 Hurricanes last year.

Bush needs to go shove it where the sun don't shine. We're onto his tricks.

[mattclearing]

44. I think you should repost this as a new thread. n/t

[Fleshdancer]

48. will do. n/t

[flyarm]

50. the good governor is hanging on for her dear life...for all of us!!

she is one brave lady!!..and she is holding off a military coup..what a lady!!! she will not turn over her authority..and she is a hero!!!!!!!!!

fly

[BamaBecky]

65. I agree....I'm very impressed with her!....n/t

[salin]

9. reminds me of how he was going to bully Gray Davis over the Cali energy

crisis - wasn't able to do so... Davis gets reelected - and less than a year later - they fund a recall and get Arnie in place. They (bushco) simply get rid of anyone who doesn't comply - watch for a GOP sponsored recall effort in the next year.

[chalky]

28. Well I hope to HELL she goes down swinging. And that SOMEONE

has her back.

[RagAss]

75. Nah...they won't have the power by then....

[Don Claybrook]

11. She needs to go public right this minute with whatever they spoke of

She needs to call another news conference and let the entire nation know what George W Bush had to say for 90 minutes.

[Jeanette in FL]

22. Absolutely, immediately

She needs to get this out in the public in order to keep herself safe, if you catch my drift.

[Don Claybrook]

26. To keep herself safe and to let us know she's not compromised

You just know the Bush people show up at meetings like this with your tax records, and the picture of you with your mistress, etc, etc.

She needs to let us know that she didn't accept an offer she couldn't refuse.

[Im with Rosey]

63. I think that she needs

EVERYTHING out in the public. The only way to protect herself is to have everything on the record so there is no opportunity for anything to happen, either to her or her fight for her state.

[Pharlo]

66. Actually, what she REALLY needed was the foresight to

tape the entire exchange. Oh, I hope she did.

She seems to be doing politically OK against the Chimp-In-Charge - while dealing with a catastrophy of this magnitude.

Maybe, just maybe, LA got a Huey Long political reincarnate - packaged in a persona the rethugs automatically dismiss - it's just a woman - and a democrat at that, what could she possibly know?

I hope she sticks it to him so hard he's still picking LA slivers out of his ass when Hurricane Fitzgerald strikes.


On Edit: Certainly helps reading comprehension when you remember to add the nouns. Doesn't it?

[MadeinOhio]

12. I bet she refused to have the whole state federalized....

Bush will try to federalize mississippi and all the South, put it under Martial Law for Uncle Dick!

[AspenRose]

13. Good

I hope she gave him a tongue lashing he'll never forget. Go Kathleen go!

I hope the liberal media (AAR) is ready to defend her and Mayor Nagin with well-prepared talking points, and that they don't let up. I can tell Rove and company are out to get them.

[Talismom]

14. I admire her strength! I just hope she's not Wellstoned! n/t

[benburch]

15. He still wants her to sign the paper to clear him of wrongdoing...

And she has a spine and won't.

[DoYouEverWonder]

16. Plus Bush had to sit with real black people today

he must be really put out.

[undeterred]

17. Did he mistake her for the worshipful Condoleeza?

I hope she was tough as hell to him.

[lady lib]

18. Why? Did she dare to sit on his furniture?

<just me being snarky>

[patrice]

19. He does not enjoy serving others.

[jpak]

20. Aid to LA slows to a trickle....FEMA sez MS and AL now aid priorties...

The Chimp will retaliate for this impudent behavior.

[Tammie]

30. Good.

I hope he does retaliate. The whole country, the whole world, is watching. This would be proof positive of what a small minded little turd he is. He'd never get away with it.

[dogday]

23. She is not going to take shit from shrub

Stay the course Gov Blanco, don't let them wear you down.

[Cleita]

24. Spoiled frat boy not getting his own way with the mean lady?

:rofl:

[Rainscents]

25. You know, Bush really is heartless scum bag!!!!!!!!

[patrice]

34. AND a POOR Business man!!!

Really not good with business, unless there's TIF or tax breaks involved.

He and the Saudi King were passing notes to each other.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

27. Blanco needs to go do a press conference right now

[Be Brave]

31. CNN showing press conf now. Bush weak as usual. n/t

[Libby2]

32. He kissed her on the cheek.

[Rainscents]

33. Seriously??? YUK!!!

[Be Brave]

36. For the cameras. n/t

[undeterred]

37. Sani-wipes, please

Even a peck on the cheek from Bush would be revolting.

[Pithy Cherub]

35. *: A real life Judas ...

[Cleita]

42. Really? I have never seen him do anything like that. Could it

be she's on his hit list and that's the signal to those who will carry it out?

[Libby2]

43. It could be

[VolcanoJen]

46. ... betrayed by a kiss.

:grr:

[petronius]

47. How demeaning...

...is he going to kiss Haley Barbour, too?

[etherealtruth]

51. Did she vomit? ; )

[demgrrrll]

55. She should have grabbed his face kissed him,,,I know it was you Fredo

I detest him with the fire of 1000 suns.

[lynettebro440]

61. She should have grabbed him by the gonads

and whispered in his ear "I am in control here" that would have shut the little fucker up.

[liveoaktx]

69. Vid Clip

Bush Unprofessional and Condescending to Women

Political Videos

[moondust]

38. She won't give him totalitarian control.

Which is all he really wants.

[Cassandra]

41. Figuring out how to put her in Gitmo

[applegrove]

45. There wasn't enough pomp and pageantry. Witt wanted to get

down to the nitty gritty and explain to Bush "you have at least one person you HAVE TO FIRE". Not knowing that diminishing the capacity for all government organizations to function is actually the plan, they put the screws to him (Brown did & said this). Now Bush has to fire Brownie & look like a fool for supporting him.

That would be my guess.

Blanco & all emergency workers in NO have the goods on "Brownie". As do all the FEMA workers who likely miss DeWitt. This isn't "intelligence" or "war on terror" where Bush & his incompetents can hide behind piles of lies using the "secrets act".

Oh - and they forgot to fawn all over him.

[Double T]

49. I hope BLANCO told bush that she will not fall on the sword......

for a despicable coward like him.

[Imagevision]

52. I HOPE BLANCO IS SUCCESSFUL HAVING BROWN AND

JERKOFF REMOVED AND DEWITT TAKES CHARGE OF THINGS BECAUSE THIS WILL LOOK SO BAD FOR THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION.

HE HIRES A PERSON WITH NO EXPERIENCE WITH NATIONAL DISASTERS, CAN IT BE THAT THIS IS 85% OF THE REASON OF THE SLOW/NO RESPONSE!

http://downingstreetmemo.com/

[earth mom]

53. If she did refuse him, maybe there is a God. Hallelujah! nt

[earth mom]

56. For those of us that didn't see this on T.V.: any more news?

[Mich Otter]

57. Poor Georgie Boy...

he isn't comfortable dealing with people who won't let him have his own way.

[Usrename]

59. Sounds like we got us some uppidy womenfolk.

God I love em.

kick

[Peace Patriot]

60. Would someone please say WHAT HAPPENED or give a link! n/t

[Walt Starr]

62. Private unplanned meeting between * and Blanco

Last 90 minutes. No word whatsoever on what was said between them.

[The Backlash Cometh]

64. I hope Blanco kicked his ass.

[BlueJac]

67. Maybe she had to back hand the punk!

[ChairmanAgnostic]

68. he heard that dreaded "N" word - N O

and you know how he reacts to that word

[Vinca]

70. I feel sorry for the governor. She's obviously the designated scapegoat.

[cthrumatrix]

73. she has to come out with "the truth" and never stop - for ALL Americans

[Peace Patriot]

71. Here's a good thread on the context...

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x4648097

[xkenx]

72. Oooh, Poor Widdle Bushie

Boo fuckin' hoo!!

[McCamy Taylor]

74. She WONT give him control cause this would be political death AND

it would be the wrong thing. So why would she do something that is the wrong thing to do on both counts?If the GOPers in Congress and the Administration attempt to vilify her and if they give even the appearance of trying to coerce or blackmail her into giving the feds power by say, with holding money or supplied or aid, they can kiss Louisiann'a Cajun Ass Good Bye for the next twenty years.

They may be able to paint her as a bad lady in non-southern states, but that dont mean squat. The rest of the South is watching the showdown of states rights versus federal muscle, and the the GOP needs the Southern vote very badly in 2006.

Karl Rove is a moron who knows Texas Politics but not much else, apparently.

[Matariki]

76. can someone post a link to her relief effort fund?

i don't have the link anymore and want to give all my future donations there. she's going to need all the help she can get.

please post it in a separate post and i will recommend it so it doesn't keep getting lost. hopefully, 4 other people will do the same. also email mods and ask them to add it to the HURRICANE DISASTER RELIEF list at the top of the page.

Please.

[Helga Scow Stern]

78. Well, she's joined him now, calling Brown and Chertoff her partners.
