CNN's Cooper: Bush's Katrina defense 'boggles the mind'
David Edwards and Muriel Kane
Published: Tuesday January 13, 2009

CNN's Anderson Cooper -- who reported memorably on Katrina's devastation as it was happening -- also was astonished by Bush's response.

"It's sort of a red herring to talk about the flyover," Cooper suggested. "To talk about what the Coast Guard did, which was valliant and courageous and brilliant, and totally forget about ... on Friday, days after the storm had passed, not even remembering people in the convention center -- it just boggles the mind."

Analyst David Gergen agreed with Cooper, calling Bush's response on Katrina "the most stunning thing, I think, that happened in the press conference."

"I thought maybe that people would have some sense of warmth about George Bush as he leaves office," Gergen continued. "I think I was wrong. ... I don't think we've had a time since Richard Nixon left office ... when people were so relieved to see the end of a presidency."

1. I have nothing but CONTEMPT for Bush and his cronies.

January 20th cannot come soon enough for me. In my mind there is absolutely NOTHING of redeeming value in 43!

[bvar22]

22. My contempt extends to a certain "wing" of the Democratic Party...

...that was more than happy to enable Bush/NeoCons.

[John Q. Citizen]

2. Ya think, David?

[endarkenment]

3. I do!

that same awful disgusting sense of warmth one gets when a fart goes terribly wrong.

[truedelphi]

19. I thought you were gonna say you get all warm and fuzzy thinking

About the warmer fires of Hell that Bush shall possibly see

But at this point the fart analogy works too.

[phantom power]

4. Warmth???

Even after 8 years, our MSM doesn't understand what everybody else already knows. Bush is a fucking sociopath and the worst president in American history.

[myrna minx]

5. Yes, my cheeks are flushed with the warm afterglow of the Bush Years.

Uh, yes, Mr Gergen, you were wrong.

[Stellabella]

6. Well, burning torches and pitchforks, maybe.

That's the only 'warmth' he'll get.

[polichick]

7. Jeez, where the hell has Gergen been??

[Betsy Ross]

8. Warmth? Fires of Hell. nt

[JHB]

9. Geez! What part of ...

"Get that worthless fucker out of there!" don't they understand?

[bdamomma]

10. Mr Gergen never underestimate the (some)American people

we know a BS'er and murderer when we see one.

[baldguy]

11. .

[bdamomma]

12. what your picture shows is something we should have done a long time ago

[jpak]

13. Warm glow 2009 - standing around a 55 gallon drum of burning pallet lumber and trash to keep warm

Fuck you Bush

[guitar man]

14. I do

I have a sense of warmth after the Bu$h years, but I am hoping some Preparation H will take care of it. :(

[Loki]

15. The only warmth that will be felt

will be as Poppy 41 pisses down the leg of his pants as he realizes that his *president son will be indicted for war crimes. Sooner than later God, I want this old man and this family to see what they have wrought upon this world.

[madaboutharry]

16. I think that someone has

been conducting LSD experiments again. Except this time they are using "news commentators" as the subjects.

[Harry Monroe]

17. A sense of warmth???!!!

He is supposed to leave us with a warm fuzzy feeling?? WTF!!! Yeah like a warm steaming pile of shit!!!

[bunny planet]

18. that sense of warmth

that's the steam coming off my exploding head after that last disgraceful news conference.
Unbelievably clueless press, when will their bubble burst, every other bubble has?

[seafan]

20. Gergen: "I thought .. people would have some sense of warmth about George Bush as he leaves office."

.....

Analyst David Gergen agreed with Cooper, calling Bush's response on Katrina "the most stunning thing, I think, that happened in the press conference."

"I thought maybe that people would have some sense of warmth about George Bush as he leaves office," Gergen continued. "I think I was wrong. ... I don't think we've had a time since Richard Nixon left office ... when people were so relieved to see the end of a presidency."

Raw Story

These guys are hopelessly, helplessly and quite happily, out of touch with reality.

21. Nobody likes him

Poor Georgie. Best go eat worms.


In prison.

[booley]

23. said it before

Rehabilitating the Bush presidency is like trying to be positive about a bowel obstruction. The only good thing you can say is that it's no longer there.

[noiretextatique]

24. gergen is a jackass

yes, you are wrong...again, gergenass.

[eridani]

25. The "warmth" is just piss trickling down your neck n/t

[Skittles]

26. the only thing that warms is my burning rage

may he rot in hell

[saltpoint]

27. Gergen is talking to himself. The real dialogue is still going on down

in New Orleans, and in international circles, among people who have watched the United States under Bush these last 8 years.

Great relief is the logical respons to the departure of fools from power.
