"... ten thousand, four-hunnert tarps....."
*kmla shakes head in disbelief*

Not only did he strum his guitar while NO flooded, he cannot grasp simple enunciation.

Lord help us.

7. Couple of troubling remarks
first when he enumerated teh numbers of cots and whatever...he had been briefed on those numbers and his speechwriters thought they would sound "impressive"...it's logistics and that's all...that's not leadership...

second, he slipped in a mention of "private enterprise" as part of the solution....can you say privatization????

8. "eleb'm thousand cots" - divided by a million homeless -
Means about 15 minutes, 40 seconds per person every day.

10. What? No jokes about oceanfront property in Tennessee?
Probably had the gags cut by some uptight bluenose. Oh well, George will have a chance to tell these rib-ticklers the next time he hosts a private audience for his base: The haves and the have-mores.
