Bob Novak: "Doesn't Bush owe more to Floridians than to 'some foreigners'?
His latest Crossfire statement. We shouldn't give more to southeast Asia than we do to Florida (hurricane) because they are just 'some foreigners'. And that "little Norwegian" from the UN who criticized us as cheap was wrong.

Keep talking, Bob. No wonder the world hates us.

1. What an interesting statement!!
Shouldn't that mean that we should be spending money here at home instead of spending it on an unnecessary war in Iraq?

17. Doesn't Bush owe more to our soldiers than he owes to Iraqis?
Ever since the Iraq war justification changed from "Iraq is a threat to us" to "We are doing it all for the good of the Iraqi people", Bush has been playing the tune of sacrificing for others. But of course, its all bullshit. To Bush, the only reason to stay in Iraq is to save face, not save Iraq. So when another chance for charity comes along, well, he could care less.

6. Brown people aren't even human beings to the wingnuts
You can tell that from the Freeper soldiers who had ethical qualms about killing dogs that were feeding on rotting corpses in Fallujah, but didn't bat an eyelash about razing the entire city.

9. It won't be long now before the entire world
declares sanctions on the US. When the lying, little deserter goes abegging for $2Trillion for his Social Security reform, they'll laugh in his face.

We'll have deserved it.

12. bush* ARROGANT ASSES are everywhere today.....US-A.I.D. bushite
Edited on Wed Dec-29-04 05:12 PM by diamond14


argued with the reporters...told them that bush* EXPECTS a lot of those people to "help themselves" and that our mission doesn't include SAVING EVERYONE.....also said that the generous American people would give a lot of money personally, so why should our government....also said that Europe had a lot more concern here, and that Europe should help, instead of us....overall, just don't expect a whole lot from USAID.....

there was another bushite from the State Dept, that essentially repeated these same talking points on C-span today....


it's really part of the fundie-bush philosophy...HELP YOURSELF....if you're desparate, pray that some faith-based person will help you...OUR government doesn't do charity, but we will make a list of any Americans missing and that is a BIG effort...so there....bleh...and bah humbug too...

15. WHY do they keep Novakula on the air? WHY? WHY? WHY?

Or Tucker Carlson, for that matter.

I gave up watching CNN for good on the second day of the Democratic convention and it's been nice not seeing those idiots, plus the stupid talking heads.

18. bob novak will have his day in court, if not here, he will in heaven where
truth cannot be twisted and where God gives you His Light of Truth to judge yourself with and where witnessess cannot create false witness.

Don't you worry pretty little hearts. Truth and Justice will catch up to Bob Novak one of these days ... and then and then he will say, O God can one of those little brown-skinned souls who survived the tsunami deep their finger in water and refresh my soul?

and God will say, while the labored through their pain, you sat at the table of bush and ate of the fruits of the goon, and looked not nor dropped a crumb off your table at those who labored or suffered.
Why should any of them come to make you comfortable?

do not worry pretty little hearts. unfortunately for bob novak, what goes around comes around and he will have his day in court.

24. Once again--it's all about Family Values
Just so long as the family in question is American, White, Affluent, and oh yes--a Repug.

Honestly, the hypocrisy of these asses never ceases to astound me.
