O'LOOFAH's un-American government theory
*******QUOTE*******

http://www.nypost.com/gossip/liz.htm

FOX NEWS emperor Bill O'Reilly tells us in Katrina's wake that if we — Americans — depend on the United States government for any reason, we are certain to be disappointed. Always. The government of the United States cannot help you. Bill's advice to America (to the poor of New Orleans, especially) is educate yourself and get a well-paying job. Only then can you avoid standing on a "metaphorical rooftop" when the next disaster rolls around. Bill did not give the poor any advice on how one finds a proper education or a job. Remember, the government can't help.

Oh, Newt Gingrich told Bill — in the nicest possible way, because they are friends — that his government theory was, well . . . "un-American."

1. I watched this
It was really pretty amazing. Bill also asked Newt why Bush was "slow in responding" to Katrina.

I was confused - O'Reilly arguing with Newt, Newt saying he was un-uhmurrican, Bill saying the government is useless....it really is the end of the world!!

3. 5 days
Bill also said that 5 days is what it takes

Not talking about USS Bathan(sorry for spelling) Was right there but could not get orders!

After 9/11 we fixed this stuff, and are ready?

Ready to help but/ power out? didn't see that coming

Ready with radio and phones but/ powers out, got water damage, didn't see that coming

Maybe next time we can ask storms not take power out, get things wet, and please not so much wind. WTF

What part of get ready did they do right?

7. Thanks
It seems the older I get the more I'm like the Gen giving the talk. More set in my ways and less able to change. More of a Crank!!

5. Don't agree with Bill
He want to blame poor people

But Bill doesn't want Pig farm rancher to get any blame?

Pentagon just talked about USS Bathan being there. And helping out. WTF

This Gen can't answer questions, he just puts his spin out not what happened.

Red tape has done more damage than the storm!!!
