Bob Boudelang asks: "What happened to that American "Can’t Do" spirit? "
Shameless vanity post...

"By the way, all those people who have been carrying on for months about troops in Iraq not having armored humvees can be quiet now. Our Great Vice President Dick Cheney had no problem finding one.
Speaking of Commissioner Brownie, it is very unfair that Mrs. Brown Rosenfeld keeps calling him "Commissioner Horseflop." Yes, he was in charge of the show horse association, and yes, he got into a fight with horse owners over horse bottoms, and yes, he got fired and the association went out of business, and yes, he lied on his resume, but as George W. said, he was doing a Hell of a job. In fact, Hell is exactly what most Americans would of described his accomplishments as.
Well now the finger pointers and hysterical liberals and moderates have got their way, and Commissioner Brownie has not been fired. I hope they are happy now! "

1. My favorite paragraph, hands down
"The new Homely Secretary of Security, Michael Shirtoff, said Brownie is needed for other disasters. Is it not reassuring to think that he could do for your city what he did for New Orleans? I feel safer already."

:rofl:

3. Horrifying to know Chertoff actually SAID "city of Louisiana"
It's scary to realize how close to the actual mark Bob is...

4. Beautiful weather....
My imbecile Congressperson, Scott Garrett, was one of the shameful 11 who voted AGAINST aid to flood victims. I hope to help voters remember that in 2006....and also remember how useless he was getting FEMA funds to help flood victims here along the Delaware in towns like Belvidere...

He DID sponsor no fewer than THREE bills to help a crony of his who imported pimientoes...thus relieving the crippling pimiento shortage that gripped Warren County (snicker)....

6. Scary, isn't it? I heard about Laura Bush's "Hurricane Corrina"
too late to work it in...

Imagine, after the worst disaster in a century, our "caring" First Lady can't even be bothered to learn the name of the hurricane.

7. Aaaaaaa... good ole Bob strikes again
Another great one, MrBenchley :hi:

I was missing Bob the last couple of weeks...

What is worst is that some people are calling Our Great President racist just because he stayed on vacation while black people were dying. Amazing! Do those people really think that if he had stopped his vacation and made sure the flood victims got taken care of that they wouldn’t have been inferior?

8. Thanks...
What I find most amazing is that conservatives en masse seem to think Katrina was an excuse for them to reveal how openly racist they are...and that now that the country has noticed, they want to scream "Foul!"

9. the same sort of "Malcolm Tents"
:rofl:
"....and now some people are saying he is racist just because there are tens of thousands of black people. And you know who those people are, too, and they are the same sort of malcolm tents who went around telling blacko-Americans in the sixties that they were unhappy and causing unrest."

Bravo MrB Bravo :applause:
