Did our so called compassionate conservative even venture

[question everything]

to neighboring Dallas to visit the victims of the flood? To, at least, offer, yes, compassion?

I remember during Clinton first year, there were some floods in the Midwest, Iowa, I think, and he was there, hugging, empathizing. But, hey, he is a womanizer while Dubya is a compassionate conservative, or something.

(I don't know how far Dallas is from Crawford but I am sure that in Texas terms, it is closer than, say, Mankato MN where he is scheduled for a visit next week)

1. Clinton and Compassion...

I remember the OKC bombing when Clinton came here. It wasn't even like he was this big important guy. He was just a guy, hugging people, shedding tears, saying the right things to try to help people feel better.

Shrub doesn't understand what compassion means.

2. He can't be bothered with that now

He's got to be in Cleveland tomorrow to gather in some more loot. Priorities, you know.

[question everything]

3. Indeed, priorities

Hey, after all, if he has yet to express compassion for the families of the dead in Iraq, why bother with a trifle like flood in his own back yard?

Has he, will he, at least express his regret for the "casualties" in Iraq? I wonder.

5. Wait, is he fundraising?

I thought he was just doing a quickie photo-op at the International Childrens Games and then buh-bye, outta here?

6. I heard there's a $2000.00 a plate

luncheon at some puke's 72 acre estate in Kirtland. I didn't catch the guy's name though.

8. Oh, Kirtland.

Too bad that's such a long haul for me. Not a chance of showing up THERE with rude signs. Not on a perfectly good Friday night, anyway. ;)

4. Crawford is about two hours from Dallas. n/t

7. Only if they bring it to his attention that people are talking......

and it may hurt him politically if he doesn't visit the flood areas. Otherwise, Where's Dallas ??
