Texas Gov. Said Today

[SHRED]

He said, and I am para-phasing, "I told the citizens to make sure that they filled their gas tanks 2 days ago. Apparently many didn't listen", when referring to the long lines.

Or did they? Isn't there a gas SHORTAGE!! Seems to me they listened to him and bought the gas out.

This leads me to believe that the Governor did not act quick enough to make sure that enough gas was available.

Am I looking at this correct? If so then it is more of the Repug "blame game the victims" routine. Sick bastards.

1. easy for that jackass to say

he can hop around the state in a state helicopter.

just another instance of the bubble world of Republican politicians.

3. u r right

[cwydro]

4. yeah and

the Jebster just made an announcement here today that Florida will suffer gas shortages and is asking us NOT to top up our tanks...uh Hello Jeb? It is still hurricane season here, uh, yeah, the PEAK of season...you fricking moron...this country is going haywire thanks to these utter frauds.

[iamjoy]

5. That's Just Stupidity

Never mind the insensitivy, typical Conswervative your suffering is your own fault attitude.

If every one had filled up two days ago, there would have been long lines two days ago.

I remember right after Katrina they were asking people in Florida not to buy gas unless they really needed it, because people making a run on gas stations made them run out. People panicky about not being able to get gas would try to fill their tank when it was half full (rather than waiting until it was near empty) and make the gas shortage a self fulfilling prophesy.

6. How long does it take to use up a tank of gas in a traffic jam

I would reckon not too long, since we've had snow storms up here where people abandoned their cars right in the middle of the downtown street.

7. what a callous remark from a pompous ass. these people did fill

up. they ran out of gas going 10 miles in 12 hours jackass!

11. Pompous Ass?

I see you've met our Governor Goodhair. Many fail to catch the "pompous" portion, but agreement is practically universal as to the latter characteristic.

12. I heard this on NPR. He used a VERY nasty tone of voice, too.

Said that he told them TWO DAYS ago to gas up and get out. Then he's got the nerve to be nasty when folks stuck in traffic for 24-36 hours are so STUPID as to run out of gas. Like there is any gas anywhere to be found. The stations all ran out yesterday, I heard (so much for Perry seeing to it that TX HAD enough gas).

What a pig.

[wanpete]

15. he will eat these words. they will come back to haunt him like so many

callous words of rethugs in times of peril...:spank:

[kestrel91316]

16. Yep, 'cause the victims he is blaming are mostly WHITE folks, I bet.

And good Republicans (at least until now).

[doublethink]

8. What a f .... ing coward ..... amongst other things ... evil........

Ever hear of the term CYA ...trying to 'cover your ass', if these people stuck on the freeways outta there get stuck there and end up dead? This Mofo needs to be locked up now. Peace and prayers. Now I'm pissed.

[wanpete]

9. peace and prayers indeed for these souls. I hope they get to dry land

and safety soon.

This texas governor is smug, arrogant, and very pompous. it's sickening that he would say something like this on air about these people just trying to leave and save themselves. he's definitely cya'ing. and what's with his lack of neck and always under "soft" lighting. me thinks he thinks he's mr. GQ or something.

arrogant fool! maybe he should get out there and try to drive away from this storm in that traffic nightmare and see how far he gets on one full tank of gas!:mad:

[doublethink]

10. Even worse then Trent Lott returning to the ruins of his mansion ...

after Katrina, and shedding a tear, then climbing aboard a waiting helicopter while the first words out of Bush's mouth were ... we're gonna rebuild Trent Lott's house and I'm gonna sit on the porch with him someday bla bla bla .... MY GOD THEY ALL NEED TO JUST SHUT THE F .. K UP AND ALL BE LOCKED UP. ..... Okay .... Peace and prayers again to those people escaping Rita ..... :hug:
