Marie Strikes Again

Published: Sep 18, 2005

Marie Antoinette strikes again. Is this the new French Revolution unfolding, or what?

While the President was in Arizona, eating cake with John McCain during a disaster, his mother, Marie, er, Barbara Bush, is talking about how well things are working out for the New Orleans evacuees, since they're all underprivileged any way. I guess she couldn't bother her ``beautiful mind'' to think about the horrors of people dying on rooftops for lack of food, water, and medicine. Maybe they should have just borrowed an oil company's jet, and took off to a resort somewhere.

Then along comes Karen Hughes to tell us that the crimes in New Orleans are tarnishing our reputation abroad. Which crimes are you referring to Karen? People trying to find food and water for their families, or the crime perpetrated by your boss on the entire Gulf states region?

Four years ago the entire world stood by us after the tragedy of 9/11. Since then you, your boss, and several others have done everything possible, through sheer incompetence and deceit, to tarnish our reputation abroad. Abu Gharaib, illegal wars, Kyoto, Guantanamo, and finally, this unnecessary disaster in New Orleans.<

4. Congrats, I read it yesterday....

Well done! They won't publish anything from me. Just too acidic, I quess. Did you happen to read the letter which was entitled ,"Barbara Bush Was Right"?.My wife was spitting bullets for an hour after that.

[Dr.Phool]

9. I didn't read it yet

I don't get the Trib, and they just posted their letters today. They published me a couple of weeks ago, in a letter about "God's Consigliere" trying to "whack" Hugo Chavez.

It's funny, but the St. Pete Times is supposedly the more liberal of the two papers. I usually send the same letter to both of them, but I get printed more often in the Trib.

5. awesome, just awesome

I am glad that these are getting published, something must be done and i am happy to say that this group of democrats are trying to do something about it. The buttheads on capitol hill are so weak and scared the only i have seen stand up to the repukes are Schumer, Clinton Reid and Boxer

[CottonBear]

6. Don't forget the entire Congressional Black Caucus

which includes John Conyers, Charlie Rangel, Stephanie Tubbs Jones and Sheila Jackson Lee among many otheres. These congressmen (and women!) are true patriots! :patriot:

[adarling]

11. I am sorry

Didn't mean to, i was thinking of Senators, i love those guys and gals though, make me hopeful again.

[Helga Scow Stern]

10. Hee, hee, hee

I trust you'll be screening your calls for a few days. Please don't forget to share any of the choicer remarks from the pinheads who try to stick up for Little Lord Pissypants.

that is so good.

[JohnyCanuck]

15. Those loud popping sounds you Tampa DUers heard yesterday

were freeper heads exploding as they read the newspaper over their morning coffee. Great letter. Recommended

[Coexist]

17. LOL! And the freeper-types love the Trib.

The St. Pete Times is the great paper around here.

[Dr.Phool]

18. Had I known yesterday that it was published

I would have made sure I went to our Browns Backers meeting for the game. Our Prez and Secretary are both freepers, and would have seen it already. We don't talk politics, just football, but I know their heads exploded yesterday morning.

20. Congrats on the letter getting in the Sunday edition -

it was awesome.

19. Terrific .... I love it.

Spread the word about Nero.

[melissinha]

21. well done

Not to self, clever letters get more honey.....

Layer condemnations with true statements by neocons and use the truth as a response.

[calimary]

22. There's your fifth recommendation.

Just excellent!!!
