It's a sickening display, but not surprising if you consider the source. The left's quest for power has overwhelmed their ability to judge the best best interests of the USA. It's sad to see.

Now the lefties have really been inconvenienced by the hurricane, because it distracts from their smear campaign against John Roberts.

"Now there is this hurricane," said Eleanor Smeal, president of the Feminist Majority Foundation. In exasperation, Ms. Smeal suggested Thursday that the Senate Judiciary Committee should postpone the confirmation hearings, scheduled to begin Tuesday, because the hurricane was distracting attention from debate on the nomination. "This has got to get more visibility," Ms.

Here's the world's tiniest fetus, holding a violin, playing just for you.

Not just the moonbats blasting "gitar" playing Bush. You did see the picture of W taken while the hurricane was hitting New Orleans: http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&ncid=1756&e=5&u=/050830/480/capm10208301856

Five days after the storm and Bush's FEMA still hasn't made it into New Orleans.

You know al Qaeda has to be looking at the lousy response and thinking about their next hit on us.

I mean, we're accepting foreign aid from MEXICO!

If we had a Parliment -- there'd be a "no confidence" vote today and elections in October.

Randy, you really ought to have that Bush Derangement Syndrome looked at--believe it or not, every single problem that humanity faces and has ever faced- is not Bush's fault. Ahh, but the perfect place for you to post a comment, I suppose, is Moonbattery!

Must be a depressing world you live in, Randy.

10,000 More Troops to Support Military's Hurricane Response

There's more going on behind the scenes than most people realize--especially the ones who are so vocal in their complaining.

I think we should be thinking about why the American people are no longer self-reliant or self-sufficient and why they're unwilling to take responsibility for their own actions. Can you imagine early American frontier families demanding government assistance or intervention? Our welfare society created this monster; it has stripped people of their ability to take care of themselves and their families, and when they make poor decisions, it has become convenient to point fingers at the government as if it is really their fault.

It's a pretty frightening reality and I wonder what kind of socialist reponse will be set into motion because of all this complaining?

So, if I understand Head Case, any time there's a consensus that a disaster is inevitable at some point in the future, Bush is responsible for making needed reforms to prevent people from being devastated...

... except when it comes to social security reform.

No, you have me wrong.

Waiting five days and FEMA still isn't there is the President's problem. That's his agency, he handpicks the political appointees who run it.

What amazes me is how the right can take up for a man who makes Jimmy Carter look like a freakin' political genius.

When will you admit that the buck has to stop with the President and he should accept responsibility for the things he's twice sworn to do in his oath of office?

Holding up rescue efforts for five days is unacceptable.

What if we'd waited five days to do something about Apollo 13?

What if we'd waited 5 days to respond to the fire alarms at the World Trade Center on 9/11?

Response to a natural disaster of this magnitude is the responsibility of the federal government -- and President Bush is the leader.

All I've ever asked for is that this overgrown frat boy show some leadership and take responsibility for something.

And what did Bush do to "hold up" rescue efforts? Five days ago, it was Monday. It would have made no sense to send in troops on Monday while it was still storming! and before anyone knew where the hardest hit areas would be. The flooding didn't actually begin until the levee breached on Tuesday. I recall on Tuesday seeing National Guard and USCG rescue helicopters already in the city picking up survivors. Also, people were advised to evacuate three days before the storm hit, and many chose not to for whatever reason --- How can that possibly be Bush's fault?

Not to mention the state and local authorities had it within their power to request additional resources and effectively deploy the resources they had... but I guess the incompentence of the Mayor and the Dingbat governor are also Bush's fault. Not to mention that the Coast Guard's C3I network was knocked off-line by the storm, which delayed its own rescue efforts ... but that was probably also Bush's fault.

We know exactly what you're about Head Case, no matter what happens, find a way to smear Bush with it... even coming up with the absurd notion that Bush "held up" rescue efforts, or that there were no rescue efforts underway until today. That's what makes you a moonbat.

ANd as for emergency planning and preparation, shouldn't that have been the responsibility of... oh, I don't know... the people who actually live in New Orleans and Lousiana and are most familiar and most likely to be affected by the situation? Or is every municipality in America like a helpless little waif until the bureaucrats who live in DC and Virginia tell them what they should do to get ready for a hurricane?

Pop Quiz:

These buses could have been used to evacuate thousands of people.

Obviously, they weren't.

Bush's fault?

Or fault of the local authorities who had physical control over them?

Bad News Head Case, Bush Called for Mandatory Evacuation Before Local Officials

8/28/2005, 10:48 a.m. CT -- Gov. Kathleen Blanco, standing beside the mayor at a news conference, said President Bush called and personally appealed for a mandatory evacuation for the low-lying city, which is prone to flooding.

I'm from Baton Rouge, and let me tell you, if you're taking this as a liberal smear, you are not seeing the picture.

Right now, Democrats and Republicans alike have some menacing questions for the president.

How could he make the statement "No one foresaw the levee being breached?" That's all anyone was talking about for days on the radio, and our local goverment has been jumping up and down trying to beg Washington to stop cutting funding to fix this problem.

Why did FEMA turn away trucks carrying food and water? Why did Bush appoint Mike Brown, a man with no disaster experience, to head this important post?

How can Michael Chertoff claim that on Tuesday he read in the papers "New Orleans dodges a bullet?" The levee broke at 9:00 am Monday, and no paper has been found to substantiate his claim. This is our head of HOMELAND SECURITY!

Why were fake food dropoffs staged behind the president during his statements, then dismantled immediately afterwards?

There are people from all affiliations who are livid over these unanswered questions. Please, do not write these off as liberal smears. You cannot overestimate our grief and anger at this moment. Please do not trivialize it by claiming this is a figment of the left's imagination.
