10/23/07 * quote on the wildfires.
Edited on Wed Oct-24-07 07:49 AM by Botany
"For Those of us fighting these fires."



I have worked around some "controlled burns" (Prairie & Woodland) and the nerve
of bush to say, "For Those of us fighting these fires." is just so over the top. Those
men and women are risking their lives on those fire lines not that unelected nitwit.

* would last maybe 10 minutes before some line boss would throw his ass out
if he hadn't hurt himself or others by then.

Thanx



on second thought maybe bush should be sent out with his Stihl chain saw
and fire gear to fight the fires .... but he would have to go alone.

10. Check out the look of disgust on the guy to the left
of Motherfucker. He's probably saying, "how's it feel to walk with some real men, little girl?"

2. Maybe he considers his brush cutting on the ranch as fighting fires. He
certainly equated his injuries from brush cutting with war wounds.

6. Bush and fire
When I think of Georgie Boy anywhere near a fire, I think of him as holding a can of gasoline and giggling. And when another death is announced, the giggling turns to guffaws.

But maybe that's just me....
