All I presented was a single, simple fact. That our president was
smiling and playing with a guitar in front of an audience while
thousands of people were drowning in hurricane Katrina. Maybe
implied, but I expressed no comment. What part of the fact is
difficult to understand?
OUR PRESIDENT WAS SMILING AND PLAYING WITH A GUITAR IN FRONT
OF AN AUDIENCE WHILE AT THE SAME TIME THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WERE
DROWNING IN HURRICANE KATRINA
And David Maynard makes pathetic excuses for that. That's just
pathetic.
Thank you. That's precisely the ignorant, mindless, rabid drivel I was
alluding to.
Yes, the 'picture' exists. So do pictures of the Grand Canyon and if guitar
playing suits your fancy Willy Nelson comes to mind. Or, if you prefer
electric, pick any rock band because they're all just as irrelevant to the
Katrina disaster and contribute not one thing other than to provide
gibberish for the mad dog, frothing mouth lunatic fringe to babble about.
Not that they needed that particular picture. If it didn't exist they'd
dream up something else equally moronic, thinking themselves clever for
doing so, such as "Bush turns on light bulb while New Orleans in the dark"
or "Bush takes a leak while New Orleans a sewer."
And that's the sort of idiotic drivel you call "a simple fact." Simpleton,
yes. 'Fact' of any substance, no.
The real 'facts' are that Bush made an emergency declaration on August 27,
two days before the storm hit on August 29, so that federal and private aid
was prepositioned, primed and ready to go, at the beck and call of the duly
elected State and Local Governments who are the ONLY Constitutionally
authorized entities for those matters. They not only failed to beckon but
specifically and intentionally BLOCKED aid from entering the region, to
prevent the shelters from becoming "magnets," while, at the same time,
failing to provide adequate means for those who were trapped to get out.
And there's not a blessed thing Bush could Constitutionally do about it,
whether or not he eschewed guitar playing, turned off light bulbs, or held
his water for 2 weeks, until the State and Local Governments finally
acquiesced and allowed aid to flow.
That is, unless the mad dog, frothing mouth, lunatic fringe has decided to
elevate Bush to the status of 'King' so that he may invade any State
whenever he feels they aren't doing things the way he'd like.
