Okay, I've been in media/internet blackout for about 5 days. What's up?

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

I did notice some news coverage on one of the major networks that actually showed Bush with the McCain birthday cake (landfall) and strumming the guitar in San Diego (landfall plus one). And I caught the end of 60 Minutes where Andy Rooney essentially bashed Bush.

Looked like there was a lot of Roberts hearings coverage.

I guess what I'm wondering is, did the shrubco talking points work, trying to pass responsibility off onto Blanco and Nagin? They sure seemed to be working in my heavily shrub area before I left, but those folks will bite on anything Rush throws at them...

I'm guessing it couldn't have worked that well since Brownie had to resign and shrub had to give that speech...

1. Well, Junior really, REALLY had to pee at the UN yesterday

Still waiting on confirmation that Condi let him go. http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=102x1781602

9. Give the guy a break!

Maybe he was out of change and needed Condi to lend him a quarter for the UN's pay toilets...

Assuming the UN actually has pay toilets...

2. Newsweek is running a major feature story

entitled "Katrina: How Bush Blew It" to hit newsstands on Sept. 19th.

Newsweek.

3. lets see

Judge Roberts will not answer any questions because ANYTHING might be a case that the court takes.

Anderson Cooper is still rampaging down in NOLA.

The GOP Senate rejected a bipartisan committee to investigate what went wrong during Katrina.

Business as usual.

6. Chertoff is coming in for a bit of flack,

but that's not widespread yet.

Also, FEMA Brown had a long bitchy interview in NYT.

7. Thanks for these. The balls on Brown. Just slink off into the darkness

already, sheesh.

[crispini]

8. Oh, no, I *want* him to blame other people.

Take as many of those incompetent boobs down with him as he can! He has clearly been made a "patsy" and I think he must realize that. Sing, FEMA Brown, sing!

Speaking of singing, there are rumors that Judy Miller is in fact doing exactly that! I don't have a linky right now, though, but if you search you'll find it.

10. Hmmm

Bush has a bladder problem
Bolton has the runs
Condi knows black
Bush wants "do overs"
Laura made George apologize
North Carolina must have pissed God off
Britney bred before anybody could stop her
Roberts is the runaway bride's father (same eyes)
We don't have to say the Pledge in school anymore
The dolphins escaped in a pod and DARE anybody to come get them
NO is having Mardi Gras but says "screw Lent" we did it already

That's all I can think of right now.
