The Katrina E-mails--What are they hiding?
Why would there be such a push to keep those emails hidden between * and Cheney and co. during the period of time that people were stranded on their roofs?

Any embarassing jokes made during that time? Any callous statments? I'm sure there was no mention of race during those 5 DAYS when people were waiting in 100 degree weather for a drink of water.

We need to know WHY Americans had to wait for 5 DAYS for water, while Anderson Cooper and Geraldo were there within 48 hours with cameras and microphones.

They're hiding something HUGE here.

12. Chertoff (sp) made him stay in a trailer and hauled him out for photo ops.
When Chimpy said he was "doing a heck of a job" he was being sarcastic.

2. Cattle
Recently, I have been watching "When the Levees Broke".Now, I watch the news daily,and when I saw all that hay being to delivered to cows shortly after they were stranded in the snow,I thought"My God,what the hell happened in New Orleans?"
I mean,we treat our cattle better.Somebody impeach that filthy bastard.

5. I thought Bush said long ago that he didn't use the email.
Didn't want other people reading his stuff. I wonder what changed his mind.

11. Luckily, there are options in the House, but he has the best opportunity
As I'm reading more about this, I'm realizing all hope isn't lost.

I think it's becoming obvious that he's a mole, and he used his power to deal with Rove--you help me win this campaign, and I'll make sure to cover your ass.

8. Somewhat related; you know those e-mails comparing Katrina with

the "snowstorm du jour"?

Ask the senders why the govt. airdropped feed for the cattle of the Beef producers (during the latest snowstorm) when they ignored the pleas of those dying in New Orleans? (also, if this was proposed by PETA, there would have been thousands of angry phone calls about how PETA cared more for animals than people, instead of the govt. making sure the beef industry doesn't get a hit on their profits)

9. I'm really thinking Lieberman is backing off stuff that is impeachable,
Not only impeachable, but embarassing, and revealing of the administration's attitudes towards the American people, particulary minorities.
