"Just saw this on DU, posted by StarRoute. Short version: Joe Albaugh was FEMA
director in 2001. His only qualification was being Precious Leader's campaign manager. 
Allbaugh hires Michael Brown, his former college room mate, also unqualified for a FEMA job. 
Albaugh leaves to become a lobbyist for Halliburton and Brown becomes FEMA director. 
Halliburton hired to do storm clean at US naval bases. 
They don't even try to hide their crimes any more."

 World stunned at Bush's stupidity

 Link 

 Excerpt:
The world has watched amazed as the planet's only superpower struggles with Katrina, 
with some saying the chaos has exposed flaws and deep divisions in American society.

World leaders and ordinary citizens have expressed sympathy but many have also been shocked 
by the images of disorder beamed around the world -- looters roaming the debris-strewn streets 
and thousands of people waiting for Bush to pull his head out of his ass.

"Anarchy in the USA" declared Britain's best-selling newspaper The Sun.

"Apocalypse Now" headlined Germany's Handelsblatt daily.

Many newspapers highlighted criticism of Der Monkey. They compared the 
sputtering relief effort with the massive resources poured into Bush's bloody war.

"A modern metropolis sinking in water and into anarchy -- it is a really cruel spectacle 
for a champion of security like Bush," France'sLiberation newspaper said.

A lady in South Korea said it may have been no accident the U.S. was hit.
"Maybe it was punishment for what Bush did to Iraq," said the woman.
"A lot of the people I work with think this way."

 Excerpt:
Since Katrina struck, gas prices flew past $3 a gallon. Gas in Atlanta hit $3.99 Thursday. 
A few regions saw shortages and gas lines - echoes of the 1970s. Consumers are in shock. 
Republican politicians feined outrage to distance themselves from the Butcher of Baghdad. 
 

Oil companies are gouging America out of  gazillions of dollars.

 Bush Strafes New Orleans

  Link

  Excerpt:
The National Public Radio news anchor was so excited I thought she'd piss on herself: 
the President of the United had flown his plane down to 1700 feet to get a better look at 
the flood damage! And there was a photo of our Commander-in-Chief taken looking out 
the window. He looked very serious and concerned.

That was Thursday. Friday he played golf. No kidding.

I'm sure the people of New Orleans would have liked to show their appreciation for the 
official Presidential photo-strafing, but their surface-to-air missiles were wet.

 GOP Rag:  It's the black's fault
   If only "they" were more like good white people...
  
  Link

  Excerpt:
New Orleans was ripe for collapse. Its dangerous geography, combined with a dangerous culture, 
made it susceptible to an unfolding catastrophe. Currents of chaos and lawlessness were running 
through the city long before this week, and they were bound to come to the surface under the 
pressure of natural disaster and explode in a scene of looting and mayhem.

Like riotous Los Angeles since the 1960s, New Orleans has been a wasteland of politically 
correct dysfunction for decades -- public schools so obviously decimated vouchers were 
proposed this year (and torpedoed by the left), barbaric gangster rap culture no one will 
confront lest they offend liberal pieties, multiculturalist frauds who empower no one but 
themselves, and cops neutered by the NAACP and ACLU.""

Subject: FEMA directs donations to Pat Robertson

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is directing donations to Pat Robertson 
(Operation Blessing) who recently called for the assassination of the president of Venezuela. 

I think it's a shame that in this hour of crisis that Bush and FEMA are teaming up with crooked,
crazy evangelists to scam people who want to help. That might explain why FEMAs response 
to this disaster have been so ineffective. It appears that Religion has joined in on the looting of 
America along with the oil companies. Americans want to help the hurricane victims, not make 
Bush's political buddies rich.

Subject: the heartless Monkey

This man does not deserve his job. He is a failure. His complete lack of empathy, 
his utter clueless incompentence, and his imperial hubris make him unfit to command 
the fry station at a McDonalds. His complete cluster fuck of the country of Iraq is 
debatable - in some fringe realm of neocon reality, it's debateable. But with New Orleans, 
there can be no debate. The Federal government, under his "leadership," has failed to deal 
with the crisis in Louisiana and Mississippi.   Failed.    Utterly.   Miserably. 

At the cost of God knows how many lives. How many people will be buried, uncounted, in mass 
graves and thus save this man from having that number tattooed forever upon his forehead?

And do you know why this happened? Neither do I! Neither does anyone else!

There is no reason for this. Come on! We are the US of fucking-A. We are America.
One company, Federal Express, could handle the disaster relief far better than what is 
being done now. But no one has asked them to step in. The US Postal service could be 
delivering food, water, and supplies to every neighborhood hit by the hurricane - but no one 
has asked them to do it.

This is the president's job. It's his job to go on television and ask for people to step up, 
ask people to make sacrifices, don't drive unless you have to, don't run your air conditioners 
unless you have to, stay home, telecommute, conserve, sacrifice for this crisis. It's his job to 
ask companies to eat the cost of feeding and housing the hundreds of thousands of refugees. 
Every hotel from the Gulf of Mexico to San Antonio, St. Louis and Miami ought to have its 
doors open to refugees to stay free of charge. Three squares and a bed - send Washington 
the bill later. We have umpteen million hotel beds in this country - there is NO REASON 
that people should be sleeping in the Astrodome.

There is so much that can be done with a FUCKING PHONE CALL when you are the 
president of the United States. What the hell is he doing? Where the hell is the help? 
There's nothing you can do about a hurricane. People who couldn't get out of the way 
are going to die. But afterwards!!! ---- every single uninjured person who dies as a result 
of neglect should add 20 years to the jail sentence of George W. Bush. His failure to act 
is criminally incompentent. He is responsible. He should be held responsible.

He should resign today. He has provided ZERO leadership so far - he won't be missed. 
At least then, everyone else, from mayors to governors to National Guard commanders, 
could begin to act on their own initiative and something might actually get done to help these people.

Subject: guard gathering in New Orleans

Hey Bart,

There have been widely publicized studies over the years about what happens 
in a disaster on the scale of New Orleans.

In the first 36 to 48 hours people act altruistically, helping whomever and whenever they can. 
After 48 hours, people start to act in their own interests. Order breaks down, looting begins 
and chaos ensues. It doesn't matter whether you're talking about poor blacks and poor whites, 
or nice middle class folks -- the breakdown pattern is the same.

You can't tell me the people in FEMA and Homeland Security are not aware of that 48 hour 
timetable. So, why the fuck weren't they doing anything earlier?! Now, in the midst of chaos 
and suffering, all they can say is they are going to restore order at all costs.

Come to Canada Bart, we'd never let our politicians get away with such shit! 
Unless, that is, you need to be in the middle of the shit to report the stench.

"To my country I want to say this: During this crisis you failed us. You looked down on us; 
you dismissed our victims; you dismissed us. You want our Jazz Fest, you want our Mardi Gras, 
you want our cooking and our music. Then when you saw us in  real trouble, when you saw a tiny 
minority preying on the weak among us, you called us 'Sin City,' and turned your backs."

 Copters helping press, not victims

    Link   .

 Excerpt:
The crews for three U.S. Customs Blackhawk helicopters stationed at Crestview Airport 
in Florida are "livid" because they have not been directed to provide full-time support for the 
ongoing hurricane-relief effort in the nation's Gulf Coast region, according to Mark Conrad, 
a former regional Internal Affairs supervisor for U.S. Customs.

Conrad says instead of helping people hurt by Katrina's wrath, the Blackhawk's actually 
were slated to transport a CNN news crew to take video shots of those people.  U.S. Customs 
and Border Protection leadership in Miami is behind the press-play strategy, Conrad says.

"They have three Blackhawk helicopters and crew just sitting there doing nothing, just so they
can look good for CNN. The crew is livid," Conrad says. "They made one trip earlier and flew 
over Biloxi, (Mississippi) where there are dead bodies everywhere. Those are highly trained crews 
and Blackhawk helicopters can carry a lot of food and water. They could be doing something."

Random thought...

Right after Baghdad fell, some reporter asked Rummy why 
there was wall-to-wall looting all thru Baghdad and his answer was:

"Freedom's untidy, and free people are free to make mistakes 
  and commit crimes and do bad things..." 

Does that mean New Orleans is full of "free people?"

You'd think even the most diehard Bush supporter would start to THINK, 
"... uh, maybe this guy is just BAD LUCK for this country!"

I mean, look at all the shit that's come down on us since he was elected. 
WE know it's all due to his short sighted and greedy political maneuvering 
but perhaps now some of the red staters will wake up a little bit and say, 
"Hey, this guy is a curse on our country!"

Subject: Hillary screws Hillary

Hi Bart,
You slam Ms. Dowd for simply pointing out that Hillary is sounding like a Bushite.

No...
 

Hillary is advocating more troops in Iraq! Hillary is advocating the bombing of Syria!
Hillary voted for the war, even though the CIA itself said Bush was lying!

I believe your "facts" are uncoordinated.

Bart wants to reward Hillary's incompetence and insane war mongering, even though the majority
of americans say "No More War!"

I want the BFEE out of the White House.
 

Bart supported the total loser Kerry.
Bart now supports the war monger Hillary.

It's true that I supported Kerry and Hillary.

Please Bart, please stop being easily fooled by these slick talking, 
Israel first, NAFTA, CAFTA, promoting fakes!

"Easily fooled" is a term that does noy apply. 

What they are promoting is treason...the selling out of our country... 
Why are you being so blind to this?

Best Regards,
Rob Mahon
 
 

How many times do we get the same refrain - "I hate Hillary's guts"
but they never say who they like - because who else is there?

If you want more of what's on the TV today vote against Hillary.

  Excerpt:
Most of us have seen the TV footage where Bush made a comedy act of his failure 
to find WMD. Before an audience of national media figures, Bush pretended to search 
in all directions, saying, "Where are those weapons of mass destruction? No weapons here! 
None over here either!" Although the WMD excuse was Bush's original rationale for 
convincing soldiers to put their lives on the line in Iraq, he was comfortable laughing about it.

For all his high-toned talk about the glory of battle, Bush never personally faced combat 
and neither have his two daughters. Despite his lip service about respecting the troops, 
Bush has made light of their sacrifices.

Bart's Law #2 
Any time a person or entity makes a "mistake" that puts extra money (or power) 
in their pocket, expect them to make that "mistake" again and again and again.

Subject: Where does Red Cross money really go?

Hey Bart,

Not wanting to dampen people's desire to help out the victims of Katrina, but is the Red Cross 
the only way to go? In an e-mail from my church, my pastor said, "We *know* that 95% of the 
proceeds will go to helping the people" if we used the Lutheran Disaster Response. 

This made me wonder about the wisdom of relying solely on the Red Cross to help people on 
the Gulf Coast--who knows what percentage of donations actually go to the victims? 

I know that people went crazy after 9/11 and gave hundreds of millions of dollars to the Red Cross. 
I also remember that there were questions about how well those funds were distributed afterward. 
Has there ever been a proper accounting?

The way things are in the world, I don't trust anyone to make a good decision that would help 
the most people in the best way. Everyone's out to make a buck and screw others over, 
no matter what, even in the face of total disaster.

Very bummed out and totally disgusted by the absolute lack of leadership from ANYone,
Sharon in Minnesota
 

Sharon, it's my guess the Red Cross is OK.
The 9/11 Red Cross problem, I think, was they got so much money they said
they'd put some aside for the next disaster such as the one we're seeing right now.

O'Reilly thought that would be a great opportunity for some cheap publicity
so he attacked the Red Cross and the FOX Whore Network backed him up.

 Free Market Killed New Orleans

  Link

 Excerpt: 
The free market played a crucial role in the destruction of New Orleans and the death of thousands 
of its residents. Forewarned that a momentous (force 5) hurricane was going to hit that city and 
surrounding areas, what did officials do? They played the free market. 

They announced that everyone should evacuate. Everyone was expected to devise their own way out 
of the disaster area by private means, just like people do when disaster hits free-market Third World countries. 

It is a beautiful thing this free market in which every individual pursues his or her own personal interests 
and thereby effects an optimal outcome for the entire society. Thus does the invisible hand work its 
wonders in mysterious ways.

 United States of Shame
   by the "lady" who hates everyone 

  Link 

 Excerpt:
When you combine limited government with incompetent government, lethal stuff happens.

America is once more plunged into a snake pit of anarchy, death, looting, raping, marauding thugs, 
suffering innocents, a shattered infrastructure, a gutted police force, insufficient troop levels and 
criminally negligent government planning. But this time it's happening in America.

W. drove his budget-cutting Chevy to the levee, and it wasn't dry. Bye, bye, American lives. 
"I don't think anyone anticipated the breach of the levees," he told Diane Sawyer.

Shirt-sleeves rolled up, W. finally landed in Hell yesterday and chuckled about his wild boozing days 
in "the great city" of N'Awlins. He was clearly moved. "You know, I'm going to fly out of here in a minute," 
he said on the runway at the New Orleans International Airport, "but I want you to know that I'm not 
going to forget what I've seen." Out of the cameras' range, and avoided by W., was a convoy of thousands 
of sick and dying people, some sprawled on the floor or dumped on baggage carousels at a makeshift
M*A*S*H unit inside the terminal.

Why does this self-styled "can do" president always lapse into such lame "who could have known?" excuses.

Who on earth could have known that Osama bin Laden wanted to attack us by flying planes into buildings?
Any official who bothered to read the pre-9/11 intelligence briefs.

Quotes 

"They killed a man here last night.  A young lady was being raped and stabbed. And the sounds of her 
screaming got to this man and so he ran out into the street to get help from troops, to try to flag down a 
passing truck of them, and he jumped up on the truck's windshield and they shot him dead."
     -- Steve Banka, 28, eyewitness   Link

"There is rapes going on here. Women cannot go to the bathroom without men. They are raping them 
and slitting their throats. They keep telling us the buses are coming but they never leave,"
       --Africa Brumfield, eyewitness   Link
 

 
Remember when Bush promised the way to prosperity was to give
the super-rich MORE and stop all that wasteful government spending?

New Orleans is what happens when you do that.

They KNEW those levees could break with the next big storm
but Bush and the GOP said, "Tax cuts for working people" and
then gave it all to the super-rich and the oil companies, instead.

Are you happy with Bush's choices, America?

Guns again

We haven't talked much about the looting, the beatings and the rapes.
Two weeks ago, good liberals in Louisiana had no reason to own a gun, right?

When evil men are told there is no police presence, they start wilding.
If a certain woman catches their eye, they rape her.
If they see a car or truck they want, they shoot the driver and just take it.

Life is such hell in Louisiana I haven't heard of any home invasions,
but I have something for you "guns are bad" liberals to ponder:

I read this on usatoday.com

Michael Mansion said carjackers held a knife to his throat Wednesday and stole
his Nissan pickup. "I guess they needed a truck, so they could go try to rob a store."

Mansion waved his hand up and down the boulevard. "There's a body floating there 
around the corner, with five shots in his head," he said. "They put bricks on him to 
hold him down. And there's two others around up there."
 

Welcome to Bush's Amerikkka.

With the Butcher of Baghdad running the planet, how safe are you?
Two weks ago, nobody in Louisiana gave this any thought.

Can you count on your local police?
If a big disaster hit your town, will the cops be there for you?

The last thing I'd ever want to hear is, "We should've taken Bart's advice,"
because you were unarmed when roving gang of thugs took overl your city. 

The times I've argued with you "guns are bad" liberals, the best answer to 
"What would you do if you confront a burglar in your home?" is
"What are the odds of that happening?" 

If that cop-out ever held water, does it still - with Bush in charge?
There's no telling how many tens of thousands of jihadists were created by Bush
and you see how well your government responds when a major disaster hits. 

So if the bad luck happens to you, and you have to defend yourself, what will you do?

When they kick at your front door
How you gonna come? 
With your hands on your head
Or on the trigger of your gun?

If the shit hits the fan, you'll be owned by whichever thugs walks by.

Think about that.

 Subject: Bravo to Ted Koppel

He slammed that guy, Brown, the head of FEMA, who by the way, was appointed to that position 
because he was a fund raiser for Bush. A fucking fund raiser! Some kind of experience for the head 
of national emergency. 

Koppel asked him some pointed questions about the chaos and mismanagement going on in 
New Orleans and Brown just kind of mumbled, shuffled, and deflected. He couldn't answer 
direct questions! This shows the world the utter incompetence that permeates the Bush Administration. 
Repuglicans are even pointing to the incompetence. 

Did you catch Bush lying again, saying that there was no previous warning concerning the levy break 
only to have officials counter right afterwards saying they've been warning Bush for years? 
Bush is toast. 

The incredible mismanagement of this Administration is now being broadcast on national TV 
and other main stream media. They can no longer hide it. It's the beginning of the end ... 
But, that's just my opinion.

I'm a runner and have been at a number of 10k races. There is better preparation for 
those races then there was for the hurricane. The minute the govt tells the people that 
there is a mandatory evacuation for N.O. and that the superdome is a shelter they 
should have hauled in a couple of 18 wheelers full of bottled water and MREs. 

They warned that there would be no electricity and no running water yet they didn't 
even put in one damned porta-potty. Like I said, if this was a 10k race the organizers 
would get the crap kicked out of them. But I forget, runners are usually wealthier 
then the folks left behind in New Orleans

 Rehnquist calls it quits 
   Now the Dems can confirm two women-hating Nazis

 Link

 Excerpt:
As he contemplates filling his second court vacancy, Bush is considering a plan to install Roberts as 
chief justice rather than as an associate justice replacing Sandra Day O'Connor. With the Roberts 
vetting process well advanced and his confirmation on track, such a shift could guarantee that a 
chief justice would be in place when the court opens its term Oct. 3.

The switch would be unprecedented in modern times. If the president does not opt for that course, 
officials said, he will return to the list of potential candidates he scrutinized in picking Roberts in July
 

I wish Patrick Leahy had a different nickname than "Rubberstamp."

You're right, times were great with Clinton but the Republicans couldn't stand 
a smart, "poor boy" Democrat in the White House. So, with the Media's help 
and Gore's and Kerry's lack of guts the Republicans stole two elections.

Perhaps the disaster and subsequent suffering in New Orleans will bring the 
good puppy press back to their collective senses and they will start telling the truth 
instead of just being a mouthpiece for the Republican liars.
