Funny this sudden concern with sunshine, it sure didn't stop Bush from strumming his gi-tar in sunny Cal and eating cake with McCain in sunny Arizona when New Orleans was under 10 feet of water.

I'd like to think that the wheels are coming off, but I should never underestimate the stupidity of the American people, or the whorishness of the DC/NYT press corps axis of evil.
And even if the wheels are coming off, it's going to very, very, very unpleasant for a very long time.

Chimpy wanted to dress up like the Gorton's Fisherman. It woulda looked kinda stupid, even for him, with the sun beating down on his sou'wester.

You guys are way to hard on w. Poor dear didn't really get to enjoy his vacation, what with that Sheehan broad camping out on his doorstep. And now, he's having to do things he doesn't want to do. Like pretend to care about national disasters and what not. Add to that that people expect him to actually do something about the collapse of Iraq and high fuel prices. I mean come on. Maybe if he could take a real vacation, like for three years and three months, he wouldn't look so petulent all the time.

Bush also cancelled a trip to Laura's vagina because it was too sunny.

I absolutely believe it, having earlier read the story of the 'Peace Bridge' photo op plans in Jordan, just like I believe he was hiding in a bunker last night because he is the same coward who hunkered on the pig farm during the 2000 FL recount.

It's a surprise to anyone that "image is everything" to Bushco?
this, the man who was born in the elitist northeast, is deathly afraid of horses, yet pretends to be a downhome cowboy living in a fake-ranch constructed on what used to be a landfill?
I'm shocked, shocked I tell you!

that seems appropriate somehow, that it used to be a landfill.

But if they followed through on their plan to strap him to a yardarm to confront the storm's fury, couldn't they called an audible and pretended he was Joan de'Arc?

why couldnt they just have one of those backdrops, like in the old surfing movies where the actors make surfing motions against a screen with waves in the background. somebody with a big fan and another guy with a hose.

You mean the one where he had to be cajoled to even go?
You mean the one where, about 2 hours out of Bagdad, he started shitting his pants with fear and almost had the pilot trun the plane around and fly back to the US?
You mean the one where he would not leave the Bagdad airport because he was so skeert, but Hillary was travelling in the war zone as he was trying to pass out plastic turkey?
No mention about the failure of the war, only regret at the management of its perception.
No policy only politics.

No big surprise. The Bushies assume everyone with a brain knows that what they are producing is entertainment and deception. They also tend to assume that news people are in on the game.
Under those circumstances, and in an unguarded moment, letting slip a comment such as this one is perfectly understandable.
If one were shooting a "docudrama" film that involved a storm, obviously for certain scenes one would avoid an area which was too sunny.
Think of the re-enactments one sees on television programs such as "Rescue 911." This is the exactly the kind of infotainment the Bush regime tries to create.
In their methodology, Karl Rove dreams up a narrative, for which the publicists stage scenes, just as if the events had really taken place.
The press's job is to act as recording secretaries for these enactments of real-world events which never actually happened.

I thought he had to cancel the trip to Texas because David Gregory correctly pointed out to the world, that Bush would just be in the way.

Did you know you can spread a plastic tarp over a hole in the ground after placing a jar or bowl in the center, weight it down with a rock in the middle, and collect moisture from the earth after the sun has warmed the tarp?
This could save your life.

these depraved mofos and their contempt for the american people is really something to behold. just accepting that it was a photo op -- i think the public is clued in about weather issues and doesn't need a cloudy visual to reinforce the message. bushco really is nothing more than a p.r. operation that is shovelling the national treasurey to its cronies. how are we going to survive the next 3 years...

Bush now says he needs to fly around and watch how local, state and federal agencies handle disaster. He needs to now understand the process. What did he learn as governor or during his first term? And why does he wait out the storm in a nuclear bunker?

Before Dear Leader's arrival on Peterson AFB in Colorado Springs; all non-essential personnel were sent home early. I wonder how much roughly 6000 or so contractors, military, and civilians' wages for 2 hours is?

Maybe somewhere down the line Bush will get cancer.
Or the ranch will sink into the landfill.
Or both!

A young friend of mine just returned from his second tour of duty as a marine truck driver in Iraq.
He attempted suicide unsuccessfully.
Now he's in Kentucky, according to his dad today, and they asked him about a third tour in Iraq. He told 'em, "No way!" Six-year hitch...
I hope and pray that all of us, united in our opposition to this immoral and useless conflict, will do everything in our power to obstruct and defeat all forms of military recruitment, whereever it rears its ugly, deceitful head. Let's protect our kids. It's a cinch the government has no such inclination, and they are both corrupt and wrong-headed.
Had I realized this sooner, I never would have done a tour in 'Nam, even tho I was drafted...

Don't get me wrong, in fact I don't regret my tour in 'Nam, because I was never obliged to kill or injure anyone, even tho I walked point.
My tour taught me exactly why war is wrong, a racket for the rich bankers and industrialists, at the expense of the common people. So I have dedicated the rest of my life to eliminating the scourge of war from the face of the earth, for the sake of generations to come.
And for the sake of my young, suicidal friend...
