Bwahahaha! Tweety's showing the video of dimson, RE: Katrina!

[babylonsister]

This is delicious! No where to run, no where to hide!

[Gabi Hayes]

1. he's KILLING them on this, quoting * as saying "nobody could"

have anticipated the levies breaking, then repeating the Condi quote about nobody anticipating planes flying into buildings

this is SWEET!

quite a contrast from the previous segment, when he strongly support WH talking points WRT the ports deal

[liveoaktx]

2. And brought up the "No one anticipated the breach of the levees"

AFTER they showed the weatherman.

Heh. YOu know O'Bierne has to be deciding whether to fish or cut bait.

[blm]

7. O'Beirne knows they're all liars because she's one of them.

She has perpetuated lie after lie in the RW march to power.

[liveoaktx]

24. VIDEO

De-Beirned

[wanpete]

3. this woman on now is disgusting...the evil and hate makes her look scary!

[babylonsister]

4. She's a certifiable gas bag! nt

[Obamarama]

5. What is it with these media bitches who carnival bark for Bush...

They all look like snarly, vicious sea hags.

[rodeodance]

15. te he. I agree

[Gabi Hayes]

6. har...."More on this video...who do you believe, 'me, or your lying eyes'"

he's jumping on the inescapable evidence of their utter mendacity, rolled into their incompetence

too bad he won't come out and say it in so many words

[LSparkle]

8. "Who are you gonna believe, me or your lying eyes?"

Tweety looks absolutely STRICKEN over this tape -- it shows clearly that * was negligent.

If his approval ratings were at 34% before this tape aired, they're going to plunge again afterward. I think the Katrina factor is a major reason his numbers have tanked, and here's yet ANOTHER reminder of how just how badly he handled that emergency.

[Gabi Hayes]

9. "I want to assure you folks at the state level...."

that WE ARE FULLY PREPARED.....!!!!!!''

[LSparkle]

10. But then Tweety didn't show the REST OF THE TAPE!

What's damning is when Max Mayfield and Brownie BOTH warn him that this is going to be bad ... and then we know what Jackass-in-Chief said about "no one imagining the levees not holding." Selective use of videotape and shows Tweety's absolute bias. GRRRRRRRRRR.

[Gabi Hayes]

you don't want him to be TOO fair, do you?

NOW tweety is bringing Kerry's war vote into this!

WHY?

seen this?

18. This pic was up on DU originally

I wish I had the exact date...

look carefully...Bush is receiving a briefing BEFORE THE STORM from Max Mayfield...Director of the National Hurricane Center.

on edit...the location of the storm on the tv map seems to indicate Sunday afternoon or sunday night.



Two things:

First, If my memory is correct, the pic was released by the White House to show how "on top of things" Dubya was.

Second, I distinctly remember DUers complaining about:

a. the telephone on the desk didn't appear to have any wires running to it, and'
b. that we spent so much money (apparently) building the conference room and links AT THE CRAWFORD PIG FARM! This picture was supposedly taken on the pig farm the night before the hurricane hit.

[Stephanie]

23. I posted it - it is from the afternoon of Sunday August 28

It was released by the WH. There was another one too, which I posted in the other thread, where he is delivering a prepared statement in a crawford television studio. It was bizarre - remember? They released it first as just an audio, and then they released video later? I mean we were all here that day on pins and needles and watching the people line up to get into the Super Dome and reading that horrific weather prediction about massive destruction etc.

[ewagner]

28. Thanks Stephanie

I didn't have any clue as to who posted it originally, I just saved it because I sensed it would be important....besides, I'm a big fan of Max Mayfield's. He's a friend of a friend and I have a lot of respect for him

Again Thank you. :hi:

[greenman3610]

20. where can I see the rest of the tape?

link please

[faithnotgreed]

11. thank you gabi (and others) for giving us these details

and thankful that they are.... (today anyway)

[Gabi Hayes]

[faithnotgreed]

32. moi aussi

bien sur

malheureusement mon francaise - c'est horrible

so i will say in english thank you again kindly and i will definitely check out your link

[wanpete]

12. Yep LSparkle...and his numbers are truly tanking because, six months later

nothing has changed except that NO had Mardi Gras. There are still toppled cars and a damn ship in someones house. This is pathetic and unacceptable. I'm tired of this corporate media BS. This is a smack in the face of Americans. This president and this government is not committed to "keeping you safe".

[spanone]

13. Bush* LIED. HE WAS BRIEFED ON THE LEVEES BREAKING.

Before Katrina hit.

He then went on national tv and said they didn't know the levees could break. Tweety even compared it to Condi saying they had no idea someone would fly planes into buildingsl

[rodeodance]

16. yes, now to make sure all the world knows (those who will listen)

[rodeodance]

17. so, who gave msnbc this tape?

[babylonsister]

19. That's a good question; is DHS turning on him, or Brown? Here's

a story from the AP.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060301/ap_on_go_pr_wh/katr...

Tape: Bush, Chertoff Warned Before Katrina
By MARGARET EBRAHIM and JOHN SOLOMON, Associated Press Writers 5 minutes ago

WASHINGTON - In dramatic and sometimes agonizing terms, federal disaster officials warned President Bush and his homeland security chief before Hurricane Katrina struck that the storm could breach levees, risk lives in New Orleans' Superdome and overwhelm rescuers, according to confidential video footage of the briefings.

Bush didn't ask a single question during the final government-wide briefing the day before Katrina struck on Aug. 29 but assured soon-to-be-battered state officials: "We are fully prepared."

Six days of footage and transcripts obtained by The Associated Press show in excruciating detail that while federal officials anticipated the tragedy that unfolded in New Orleans and elsewhere along the Gulf Coast, they were fatally slow to realize they had not mustered enough resources to deal with the unprecedented disaster.

Linked by secure video, Bush's bravado on Aug. 29 starkly contrasts with the dire warnings his disaster chief and a cacophony of federal, state and local officials provided during the four days before the storm.

A top hurricane expert voiced "grave concerns" about the levees and then-
Federal Emergency Management Agency chief Michael Brown told the president and Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff that he feared there weren't enough disaster teams to help evacuees at the Superdome.

30. Sorry, can't get that link to open...help?

[babylonsister]

31. Here it is again; I just opened it, so should work.

[Gabi Hayes]

21. it's from the AP, according to another thread, IIRC

[Stephanie]

25. had to be Brownie

They hung him out to dry. For George Bush, loyalty is a one-way street.

[Kingshakabobo]

27. Let's not play "the blame game". n/t

[spanone]

29. Reported that Bush* sat thru the whole briefing...Asked NO questions.

Then he waited for days and lied to the people. ONE OF THESE HAS TO BE THE DEATH BLOW. ONE THING AFTER ANOTHER AFTER ANOTHER.
