1. My god, I hate that man.

[AirmensMom]

3. So do I!

Don't you just want to slap that smirk off his face? :spank:

6. Hi, AirmensMom.

Welcome to DU. Glad you're here. :hi:

[AirmensMom]

13. Thanks -- so am I!

Except for my husband and kids, all my "friends" and family are die-hard Bush supporters. I was starting to think I had lost my mind. It's nice to know there are so many others who see things the way they are.
:hi:

2. ROTFLMAO

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

I saw that. Did you catch the "there will be plenty of time to play the blame game" comment? Why do these people all sound the same?

7. Rove: "there will be plenty of time to play the blame game"

and this is they're only come back at this point, has begun to sound like a mantra...!
"there will be plenty of time to play the blame game"
"there will be plenty of time to play the blame game"
"there will be plenty of time to play the blame game"
"there will be plenty of time to play the blame game"
"there will be plenty of time to play the blame game"

4. He also said we needed to take a "sober look"...

Interesting choice of words, given his sobering past.

10. That was hilarious!

You could almost see that he realized he'd chosen the wrong word after he said that.

5. Who dodged a bullet?

What an ass.

9. Notice the body language - very telling to me

11. Referring to right after the hurricane went through ...

BEFORE the flooding really started. I remember watching (CNN, I think) and everyone was relieved that there wasn't as much flooding as they had predicted, not as much damage to NO, etc. But what he said was pretty stupid -- something like, "They told me we had dodged the bullet. The bullet HAS BEEN DODGED!"

12. He said that was Monday night!!!!!!

Levees broke 9AM MONDAY morning.

[AirmensMom]

14. Well, he's a little slow ...

you know how it is when your brain is fried. It really messes with your response time. :evilgrin:

[maine_raptor]

16. Yea, but

I remember the days of LBJ when there were only 3 TV news channels and he had 3 sets in the oval office, each tuned to a different channel. As much as I dislike that man, I gotta give him credit for at least keeping up on the news.

But I digress;

The point is that Bush is saying that he heard "from you folks" (news media) that the bullet had been dodged. Yet ALL and I mean ALL the news media were reporting the levee breaks by MONDAY NIGHT. And some had been reporting the breaks and flooding since late morning of that day.

So Bush, if as he claims, got the "dodged" thing from the news media, he MUST have also heard of the levee breaks.

8. The "bullet" is the bulk of questions this administration never

has to answer for.... Katrina is no different.

Would you like a list?
