He's at the Hotel del Coronado - a Belle Epoque grand hotel, while people

[Hissyspit]

are drowning and begging for help from a National Guard (and their equipment) that is on the other side of the globe?

I hope this drives his approval ratings to the single digits.

Surely Americans will see that this administration doesn't care, not just about civilians in Iraq, about Americans themselves (unless they're wealthy).

[hnsez]

1. Hope he passes out & drowns in his Soupe à l'Oignon

[opihimoimoi]

19. would that be Freedom Onion Soup??

[nadinbrzezinski]

2. As II keep reminding people

he is getting serenaded by anti war protestors

[Bumblebee]

3. But we want him well rested and having a life, right?

Plus all these people who are trapped in NO are poor people.
He does not call them "his base..."

[Usrename]

4. The surf sucks! May be a bikeride......... n/t

[Joyce78]

5. But, but it's a Red Roof Inn, right?

He's like the rest of us. Next stop is Motel 6 ... Dave'll leave a light on.

[wli]

6. the sadistic genocidal maniac. n/t

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

7. Cheer up..it was one of Nixon's favorite places

[Bumblebee]

8. Thanks -- almost reassuring :)

[Joyce78]

9. When Nixon walked the beach

ala JFK, but didn't have the brains to take his goddam shoes off?

[Hissyspit]

13. Yeah, I was thinking that. Bush is his own worst enemy now. n/t

[Bumblebee]

10. This is from the Guardian

http://www.guardian.co.uk/usa/story/0,12271,1558908,00.html

Large areas of New Orleans were last night under water after Hurricane Katrina pummelled the city with winds of more than 100mph, causing huge damage to property and catastrophic flooding.

There were reports of people climbing into attics to escape rising water in the low-lying city, and witnesses described walls of water running down skyscrapers like waterfalls.

Local radio reported multiple bodies floating in the water in one area of the city.

Many were feared dead in flooded neighbourhoods, but the extent of casualties remained unclear as it was still too dangerous for rescue teams to enter affected areas.

11. Could all the poor people have been evacuated with the money..

spent to fly the little emperor to Utah, Idaho and San Diego for his vacations within his vacation?

I have been sick watching the poorest of the poor left behind when evacuation plans only seemed to work for those with their own funds and cars. With the money spent on Air Force One and all the security for bush these past five weeks, could we have saved all those people?

[Hissyspit]

12. Well, they certainly could have been evacuated with $200 Billion...

spent on an immoral, illegal war!

[BronxBoy]

29. Or all of the money

he raised on his little fund raising trip

[melody]

14. I don't know anyone who doesn't despise him

And I do mean despise him. I don't think I've EVER seen a President this hated, not even Nixon or Reagan during his last, worst years in office.

No one voted for him in the first place. He's going to be lucky if he escapes from office with *just* impeachment.

BTW, he doesn't give a damn about normal, working wealthy people either. These people were poor or middle class once and tend to have sympathy for those who are less fortunate. The Chimpmeister, meanwhile, once said to a group of his "base", "we are as different from the common man as chimpanzees are from humans". I don't think he realized on which end he belonged. :-)

[raysr]

17. Reagan was hated

by ME!

[melody]

18. I hated Reagan, too

I have family members with mental illness.

But not even Reagan was hated as much as Bush is hated.

[MissMarple]

15. He's running from Cindy. Sorry, guy, there is no place to hide.

:evilgrin:

[fooj]

16. This explains it...

He has no soul. He does not feel.

Peace.

[Imagevision]

20. It's the people behind Bush that cause me concern, he barely relays

the messages coherently.

[StayOutTheBushes]

21. He needs to be in New Orleans sandbagging the levee

breach! No wait, he needs to be meeting with the Little League World Champions....Errr let's just impeach him!!:party:

[catmandu57]

22. We need to send him a fiddle..No make that a kazoo

for him to play gowd bless amerika on when the next storm hits. We're just getting into hurricane season, it doesn't peak for another three weeks.
What's the idiot going to do when the next one hits, we need to pound this insensitivity home.

[Lochloosa]

23. Needs a few more votes for the greatest page....don't ya think

[Hissyspit]

31. Well, I thought so...

But I'm full of myself. :7

[gokar]

24. He must be made to stay at MOTEL 6 like the rest of us.....

and sleep on uncomfortable bed, listen to people coming and going all night and use cramped bathrooms.

[rolleitreks]

25. I hope they fumigate after he leaves.

Always wanted to stay there -- location for "Some Like It Hot."

[allalone]

26. I hope he got the haunted room!

[Totally Committed]

27. Uh, doesn't "Belle Epoque" mean "Beautiful War"?

If it does, how ironic is that?

[Hissyspit]

32. "Beautiful Time" (or period, era) n/t

[Amonester]

33. "Belle Epoque" means "Beautiful Era" or "Beautiful Period in

Time", but it's still ironic, thinking about all who suffered and continue to suffer from this gigantic tragedy. I bet the Chimperor will fake going fishing in a wealthy supporter's high-class yacht in the Gulf again after he'll finish faking (crocodile-) tears... :cry: <-- real ones here

[Totally Committed]

35. It's easy to see languages were not my strong suit in college! LOL!

n/t

[calimary]

28. The very fact that he's making speeches about other issues

for which he thinks he needs to drum up more support - like health care and the FUCKING war - in THIS time of colossal domestic crisis (especially in his own "home turf" - some of the reddest of the red states) is appalling. Just appalling. He's gotta go do a sales pitch, instead of focusing 100 percent on helping these people...

Good Lord, every time I think I hate him as much as it's possible to hate somebody, I find reason to hate him more.

Visualize IMPEACHMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pass it on...

And while you're at it - pass THIS along, too:
Bush has slashed Clinton's Disaster Mitigation Program. (unbelievable)
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x4482567

File that one under "oh, yeah, he's making us safer alright..."

[Tinoire]

30. If you squint it looks like Versailles before the crowd rolled in

with the guillotines. You have to squint quite a bit but the result is worth it.

I wonder if on E-bay....

[PDittie]

34. Some people are born to suffer

and some aren't.
