A FLYOVER!!!
Just announced. Herr Bush will be making a flyover of the entire hurricane disaster area on his way from Crawford to DC! This is the photo op Rove has been planning for 3 days. I hope he will be buzzing a few people so he can get a kick and laugh out of the whole thing.

I have chills! This is so reminiscent of when Bush flew over the NASCAR track during the campaign.

As Mike Malloy says, it is impossible to imagine how much I hate this man.

1. The sight of AF ONE
Flying low over the disaster area while people below maul each other for water and food will do nothing more than piss off the entire world!

If he does that there will be pitchforks and torches on the lawn of the White House before the month ends!

2. Well you know his entourage could snarl things up....
Seriously W it would be better if you didn't go at all.

Gee do you think they will sell pictures of him looking out the window (as with pics ON 9/1/01) for raise campaign funds?

3. Think he'll look out the window?
I can just hear it.

Bush: "Karl, the people look just like ants from up here!"

Rove: "They ARE ants, Mr. President. We've had this discussion before. Remember?"

Bush: "Just like ants. Anymore of that Lone Star left?"

13. And think what taking him on a boat tour of the
city would do for relief efforts.

Or even just a chopper ride.

15. Good catch. I can't post what I think about this
because it is against DU rules and I don't need a visit from AgentMike. Note to AgentMike-I am not threatening the President of The United States. I am thinking bad things about Mr.bush in my imagination only.

9. There will be a 100,000 middle-finger solute to AF1

I don't think the chaff and flare dispensers will deflect that kind of ground-to-air interception.

We won't be shown any of it on the networks.

12. He can't touch the ground...
There are potential terrorists down there or what we liberals call "refugees".

If the people down there really needed help then they should have thought about that before the hurricane came.
:sarcasm:

14. Reminds me of a joke:
Bush is flying over the destroyed city of New Orleans and he opens the window and throws a $20 bill out.

Cheney turns to him with a sneer and says, "What did you do that for?"

Bush replies, "That city has been destroyed, now some poor slob will find that $20 bill and be happy."

Rice asks, "Why didn't you throw 2 $10 bills out and make 2 people happy?"

Rumsfled asks, "Why didn't you throw 4 $5 bills out and make 4 people happy?"

Just then the Air Force pilot turns around and says, "Why didn't you jump out and make everyone happy?"

22. Fly Over? - Now Bush has no need to asses damage by helicopter
although in Florida, he worked sided by side with jeb handing out water & ice, but, that was before the election. - Bush, the biggest scumbag prez we've ever seen! bar none!!!

He makes Nixon look like a saint!

25. Where's Pickles?
Can you believe, like a child, he also got off the plane with his dog? Where the hell is Laura? Maybe she needs time away from him. If only we all had that.
