So...GOP shill Rockey Vaccarella "wishes Bush could have a 3rd term"
White House Dismisses Third-Term Talk
Wednesday, August 23, 2006

WASHINGTON — A third term for President Bush? No thanks, his staff says. "Believe me, I think staff thinks that two are plenty,"White House deputy press secretary Dana Perino said Wednesday, suggesting people are being worn out by the demands of the job.

Even Bush seemed taken aback when a supporter, Rockey Vaccarella, said he wished the president could have another term. "Wait a minute,"the president interrupted.

Even if he wanted another term, Bush would be barred by the 22nd Amendment of the Constitution which says no person can be elected president more than twice.

Vaccarella lost his home in New Orleans in Hurricane Katrina a year ago. He drove to Washington hoping to meet with Bush and managed to get an invitation to the Oval Office."I don't think it was a secret that Rockey Vaccarella had been supportive of the federal effort and he had said supportive things about the President, as well,"Perino said.

The St. Bernard Parish resident who drove from Louisiana to meet with the President said "I wanted to thank President Bush for the millions of FEMA trailers that were brought down there." He added, "... I just don't want the government and President Bush to forget about us." White House photo by Paul Morse

6. Yes, fellow DUer "gratuitious" provided the details yesterday...
I posted the photos from Yahoo and thought something seemed fishy, and within a few moments we had the details:

7. Why is Rockey thanking the bush for the FEMA trailers?
Shouldn't he be thanking us, the taxpayers, for the trailers? Did Rockey bother to ask the "great one" about all the FEMA trailers that are rotting away in ARkansas and were never delivered to the ones who really need them in the Gulf States?

13. Rockey's not living in a FEMA trailer
Just to be clear, Mr. Vaccarella isn't living in a FEMA trailer. No, he towed his "honorary" FEMA trailer, along with a convenient documentary film crew up to Washington to meet with President Simpleton. And George had all kinds of time to meet with Mr. Vaccarella (an Italian name derived from the word for "tool" -- at least, that's what "some people" say), though he still hasn't quite found a few minutes to explain to Cindy Sheehan just what the "noble cause" is that her son died for in Iraq.

It's a strange world inhabited by President Simpleton, but one that I'm sick and tired of.

8. Is it just me, or were those remarks just WAY too over-the-top?
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=132&topic_id=2794688

The guy probably thought he could do a better job than his speech writer and went off-script. :eyes:

Rockey, Rockey, Rockey....there's an ART to fellating somebody in public.
You don't just drop and start...well...you know.
:spank:

10. But Bush wasn't elected the first time,
he was appointed (for that matter, he wasn't really elected the 2nd time)

12. Sorry, Rockey, your beloved führer can't run for a third term...
It's in the Constitution, something neither you nor he understands apparently...

And what about these statements:

...millions of FEMA trailers that were brought down there. Really? "Millions?"

I just don't want the government and President Bush to forget about us. Neither do we, Rockey, but we won't hold our collective breath...
