Americans are not so dumb...if Bush spent night in "Tent City" Bushville
His Poll Numbers would rally...and he would get his "Bullhorn Moment."

But he cowers in Air Force One and on the "Bataan" or wherever the Military house him...and his "SS TASTERS" of his Food and the Bathroom and his Shampoo and Soap are always there for the "Emperor" who is SO AFRAID...he had to have "Theatrical Prop People" build him a "set" whever he goes.

He is SO AFRAID OF..."WE, THE PEOPLE" he knows that in Biblical Times he would be "stoned to death."

I know this is harsh...but I'm a "We the People" and I'm sure those folks suffering in the hot and humid Gulf Coast are wondering what the Hell Bush is Smoking..right about now. :shrug:

1. On the news it said he had his meeting in an air conditioned tent.
Which, I'm sure, was disassembled and taken away when he flew his sorry assed chicken butt out of there.

I assume that they have to now build little 'sets' for him to keep the people (aka to him 'rabble') away and to keep surrounding himself with fawning sycophants.

5. I assume that at least half of the air conditioned air is wasted, as it
escapes through the tent walls, openings, etc. I'd like to know how much that tent cost for the chimp's carefully constructed little bubble of white people applauding him.

2. Republicans are never comfortable dealing with the masses
In the early 1930s, WWI veterans marched on Washington, demanding the government give them some promised bonus money early. Herbert Hoover, who was president at the time, sent McArthur with troops-cavalry charged into the group of veterans, angering and scattering them.

The vets went home, and in 1932, elected FDR. They came back to Washington, asking for their bonuses again. FDR sent Eleanor out to them with lots of coffee. They talked, they sang songs, and the vets returned home peacefully, knowing they had been heard by the government.

7. Our Liberal Band of Honest Reporters always saw that...the rest of them
are like Bush. I know Matthews says he spent a week in NO's ...but was it in a Tent in 98 degree heat with humidity at 100% in Slidell, LA...where the snakes and smell of rot were with him day and night?

Or, did Tweety check into one of the hotels in the "unflooded French Quarter" where he thought he was "roughing it" because the complimentary soap, shampoo and nice heavy weight terry cloth bathrobe weren't waiting for him? Was his hotel bar not stocked with his favorite beverage because of the "LOOTERS?"

Whatever...I wonder how he would feel if he had been sent to "camp out" in one of the devastated Parishes where the real folks are...in sleeping bags on the ground, in makeshift tents or stuffed into some Red Cross Way Station with a bare cot and limited toilet facilities.

4. He should quit wasting money for his security and stay
in DC. What it cost just for security every time he shows up could be used for helping the poor who don't want him using them anyhow.

6. And...there were reports his "Security" cost lives...because they shut the
airways and relief efforts down every time he and the one time Cheney visited?

What about this... Clearing the skis for the P-Resident...costs folks their lives for a PR Opportunity?

What gives here? I'm glad that those "Average Americans" who answer Polls by the Right Wing are really getting it and understanding it. We've tried to tell them...they didn't want to listen.

Where the Hell are they getting their News from? It can't be from the "whore cables who switch back and forth on whim?
