2. He's intent on blaming the Mayor & Gov as I hear it.
Doing damage control for the feds.

4. This is good....
He has some Colonel on there who says that Bush has the ultimate responsibility.

Saying everyone ws on vacation and no-one would make a decision.

11. Unreal.
The colonel is a Bush supporter who is nailing him for failing the country. This is an important show. Joe isn't parroting the party line.

soldier say something like that without fear of prosecution?

40. "... whether in New Orleans *or* Iraq" --- POW!!

Nows the time to come out w/ the video clips of Bush saying, post-9/11, that he "would not rest" until the terrorists were caught -- as a montage flipping back-and-forth between vacation clips of * and the many disasters of his Administration.

10. "the buck stops with the president"
Edited on Thu Sep-08-05 09:19 PM by LSK
Ok, Im really on bizairo world because both of these guys said they supported Bush but now they both admit that he is ultimately responsible.

Scarborough, Anderson Cooper, and others - this disaster is waking some people up bigtime. I really think these guys are waking up because they are still there a week later. They could easily head back to their comfy homes and offices, but they are staying down there.

21. NOT Malkin.....she is BLAMING in a most scathing manner:
Blanco and Nagin


that article which trumpets her calling for Brown's head states quite clearly later on that the BLAME for this rests on those two's heads

read the whole article

25. I confess I didn't read it
Don't want to soil my memory banks with her verbal droolings.

The list was from Keith O's blog

37. Keith was not saying Malkin was one of the critics.
Edited on Thu Sep-08-05 09:44 PM by BerryBush
He was saying that today's editorial in the Union-Leader of Manchester, New Hampshire was critical of Bush. And one would normally not expect to find criticism of Bush in a paper so conservative that the national columnists it runs are Robert Novak, Jonah Goldberg, Charles Krauthammer, Michelle Malkin, Deroy Murdock and George Will.

He did not say that all those columnists came out against Bush.

on edit: In excitable times such as these, it's even more important to read and listen carefully so as not to unintentionally pass along untruths.

14. Wow. This was great. Two "former" Bush supporters just railing on
him.

Thank God. I was worried yesterday that the Rove slime machine might work and I was very upset that my fellow Americans could possibly be that indifferent, stupid or cruel. I feel much better about my fellow Americans tonight.

18. Scarborough also said "The buck stops with Bush"
:wow:

He could probably use a bit of feedback from rational people.

19. He is desperately trying to keep his ratings up so he doesn't get canceled
He knows that sucking Bush's ass right now will not play well in Peoria. He just wants to hold in there for a while until this blows over without getting the axe and then he will be back to the same old "dead girl in his office" Joe. Promise.

22. Do you not believe that some events
can be life-altering? Many, many people's eyes have been opened during this disaster. Who knows? Joe could be one of them.

35. He was a politician which means he is practiced at bullshitting people
As for the "Do you not believe that some events can be life-altering?" question my answer is absolutely yes there are events that can be can be life-altering. I seen it happen right before my eyes once. Over 30 years ago I watched a guy have a bad LSD trip and turn into an instant Jesus Freak. Last time I seen him he was walking down the street carrying a bible mumbling some shit to himself.

Well, maybe you're right about Joe. He's not one of my favorites, to be sure. I'll take a "wait-and-see" attitude.

38. You got that right.
He is one manipulative lying POS and it's a damn shame the Pensacola News Journal covered his ass for him when he "retired" in disgrace from the House and continues to do so to this day. The guy nauseates me with his beady eyes and rotten ethics. I'm with you 100% regarding your analysis of the scumbag.

26. Joe's po'd becasue his friends from Fla. Panhandle are yelling at him.
They're yelling and screaming to Joe - he said he has been hearing from all of them.

He was a Rep. from that area.
