Katrina Kids’ Sing to Laura Bush: ‘Congress, Bush and FEMA…Have Come to Rebuild Us’

Today at the White House Easter Egg Roll, dozens of children “from the stricken Gulf Coast region serenaded First Lady Laura Bush with a song praising the beleaguered Federal Emergency Management Agency.” To the tune of “Hey Look Me Over,” the kids from Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama sang:

“Our country’s stood beside us
People have sent us aid.
Katrina could not stop us, our hopes will never fade.
Congress, Bush and FEMA
People across our land
Together have come to rebuild us and we join them hand-in-hand!”

Neither Congress, FEMA, nor President Bush should be proud of their response in the Gulf Coast. FEMA’s post-Katrina housing program has produced “vast sums of waste and misspent funds,” now likely to “top $1 billion and perhaps much more.” Despite President Bush’s pledge to build the levees “higher and better,” federal officials now say “there may not be enough money to fully protect the entire region.” And as even Newt Gingrich acknowledged this weekend, “it’s going to be really bad by September when we go back and have a one-year review and we realize how much of New Orleans is not fixed as of this coming September.”

+++++++++++++++++++++

WHAT THE FUCK DID BUSH AND FEMA DO TO HELP ANYONE IN KATRINA EXCEPT SIT ON THEIR BUM ASSES AND DO FUCKING NOTHING!!! THIS IS FUCKING STRAIGHT OUT OF THE JOSEPH GOEBBEL'S HANDBOOK OF PROPAGANDA. HELL, DID THEY DRUG THE CHILDREN FIRST BEFORE THEY MADE THEM SING IT OR BETTER YET THE PARENTS SO THEY WOULDN'T GO BALLISTIC TO HAVE THEIR KIDS SING THIS SONG

2. i thought it went like this

Donald Rumsfeld is briefing president Bush: “Yesterday, 3 Brazilian soldiers were killed.”

“Oh no!” exclaims the president, “that’s terrible!”

His staff is stunned at this unprecedented display of emotion, watching as Bush sits, head in hands.

Finally, he looks up and asks, “How many is a brazillion?”
