If you listened to Chertoff you'd think everything was going great.

[Beelzebud]

This guy is trying to downplay this big-time.

what a sick asshole.

[doublethink]

Just how Bush sees Iraq ......

everythings fine, nothing to see here. Move along .... :grr:

[rodeodance]

1. the whole news conf. was about covering their butts -plain and simple!

[rodeodance]

3. and then Karen (cnn) comes on the air and says people are dead in

on the streets. we are seeing the bodies. yup --things are great.

[rat618]

5. Can't get in because of the water

Haven't they heard of amphibious landing vehicles? Hell if they had just watched "Saving Pvt Ryan" they could see these vehicles have been around for years.

[rodeodance]

11. some buses got to Conv. Center yesterday--for the hotel guests that

surround the Center. these people were bused out!!

[Whoa_Nelly]

2. "...more than enough troops..."

How the fuck does Chertoff KNOW that there are more then enough troops when this disaster HAS NO PRECEDENT?!?!?!?!

[rodeodance]

4. they are in the wrong places Mr. Chertoff.

[rodeodance]

6. all talking heads saying basically the same thing. we were prepared.

[rodeodance]

8. cnn saying the Bush Adm. denies that Fema was told to 'stand down"

[speedoo]

7. "the genius of the people in FEMA...."

"pulled off this exceptional response"

[rodeodance]

9. cnn saying movement at the center. may be a rumor but people seen

starting to walk to buses. told there were buses.

[rodeodance]

10. cnn saying people were told to walk to some highway where buses

would pick them up.

[rodeodance]

[indepat]

13. Everything is coming up roses for you and me and all America

[guruoo]

14. Bush intends a recovery on the cheap (sound familar?)

I've seen this kind of preemptive damage control
before. What I believe it 's saying, quite simply, is
that Bush is intending to get away with Katrina
recovery on the cheap.

'Where's liberal Hollywood?'

Why?
I was wondering when a right wing apologist would ask this question. Who would have thought it would be Michelle Malkin? "Where are Hollywood and the Live Aid people? Answer: Nowhere to be found yet."
Yes sir, only a couple hours after the disaster that is Katrina, Michelle expects Hollywood and musicians to have concerts and telethons already coordinated. Those Hollywood weirdos and music types sure are an evil and uncaring bunch as they destroy the fabric of our society.

But never content to simply ascribe man-made evils upon us, the Left has now broken (wetted?) new ground by blaming President Bush for Hurricane Katrina and all the damage that is sure to ensue. Here are a few examples:

Looters Are The Worst Of Humanity By Kevin Fobbs
It was the worst of humanity that was roaming unchecked through the city of New Orleans. These thieves were open and defiant and did not fear apprehension. They were brazen in their unchecked thievery, doing it in open daylight, with television network cameras rolling and holding their own version of a Blue Light special.
