4. CNN's been covering it. That's where I've been getting my news.
Edited on Sat Jun-14-08 01:24 PM by mycritters2
And I know people in those areas, so I'm following it carefully. I think CNN is doing fine.

But I DO want to know where that asshat in the White House is!!!!

Is John McCane the pastiest man in America? He's whiter than the cake frosting.

How many of the exact same events/situations have to occur for the pattern to be undeniable?

34. He's neither. He's just plain a sociopath.
If Cheney was to waterboard a member of Bush's own family he still wouldn't feel a thing. The man is absolutely dead inside.

12. After all the bullshit when he finally DID get to NO
maybe it's best that he isn't there. At least all his 'security' won't be interfering with the actual work that needs to be done.

13. His involvement will be late, and minimal
Edited on Sat Jun-14-08 02:49 PM by usaftmo
Iowa has voted for the Democratic candidate every time since saint ronald of raygun left office (2004 being the only exception). Taking that into consideration plus Obama's home state is next door...it's a slam dunk that state will vote blue in November.

Which brings me to something off-topic. If the people of Iowa voted blue every general election since 1988, why switch to red in 2004? We all knew shrub was a piece of garbage long before the 2000 election...the msm ignored that fact...from 2000-2004 Amurika fully realized what a lousy bum he is...then Iowa voted for him in 2004 instead of Kerry?!?! :wtf:

If he's smart (cue thunderous laughter), then shrub will realize that quick and significant involvement will help McSame get more votes (either in Iowa or elsewhere due to being compassionate).

Visiting the Pope... Spreading his usual brand of rancor, so that if the Terrorists didn't hate our guts before, they will now.

15. Where do you think he is? NOT where he's needed.
Edited on Sat Jun-14-08 02:34 PM by calimary
He's out globe-trotting through Europe, knowing this is probably the last fun overseas joyride he can take on the taxpayers' dime. Notice how much traveling he's crowding into his last year. Mr. "I never travel." I'm sure he'll want to go everywhere, one last time, as long as you and I are paying for it.

FUCKER.

DAMN this is a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGG goodbye.

21. Let's face it. George just doesn't care. I have to comment on
the picture of the guy carrying the two cats. Of all the possessions he could have grabbed, it's nice to see he chose the cats.

My cat carriers are right inside the back door, on the way to the garage. If we ever evacuate, the dog and cats go first. Inanimate objects will go as time and space in the car allow.

22. While I understand the sentiment,
honestly, I really don't want poo flinging monkey to get in the way like he did when he finally showed up in NO. He will just see this as another "photo op". He's too useless to actually be needed anywhere.

24. Exactly. He doesn't need to do a photo op while making others stop
doing what they need to do. Keep him away. Where is FEMA is a bigger question and HOW THE HELL can we get FEMA back to being a worthwhile enitity?

28. Iowa's largest cities are all experiencing flooding
Des Moines, Cedar Rapids are pretty bad. Davenport is seeing some flooding. Iowa City, home of the University of Iowa, hasn't even seen the worst of it yet. These are 4 of the largest cities in the state. You can add dozens of small towns to the list as well.

31. It's heartbreaking. And disturbing. And like re-living a nightmare.
And, predictably, George Bush and this administration don't give a shit.

I-80 west is a mess. People have lost everything. Watching the local coverage, I continue to be amazed by the human spirit and kindness of others... neighbors rescuing the pets of families who have basically lost everything.

We all caused him to be a really bad president. It's all someone elses fault!

From what I've seen he has no emotion, no feeling, no concious of any kind whatsoever.

39. Actually the kind of hate he has is the evil kind.
The hates living things, not so much like Dick Cheney. I believe Dick hates all living things. It is what he uses to run his empire' blood, oil and hate.

elbows with the Pope and ask Gordon Brown for special forces to capture Bin Laden and other such important things.

Silly peasants, you don't understand, the King has more important things to do than worry about the people.

and Rove is telling the official White House photographer to prepare photos so they can tell the American people he's looking out on Iowa below.

His presence there would only be self-serving and disruptive. THese people have been through enough already, they don't need this ass clown there for speeches that skirt his responsibility and photo-ops to prop up his image.
