Exactly. No truck could move until king George made his photo op, chortling about partying there when he was young and how the results weren't good enough so he could blame someone "down" ( as Condi says) the chain. this is all about the help arriving when George was ready and only when, a fake photo op of levee repair and help being brought.
They wanted to milk this just as they milked 9/11 making George the Hero. Make everybody else look like failure as long as their boy is the Hero.
emeldir, that's not quite what I meant. FEMA could have moved in quickly and still have constructed a stage for GWB to appear on a few days later.
What I was musing about is if Chertoff was trying to best Rove. Turning a whole city into a stage and not just little cheesy stage shows that Rove constructs. I'm probably not being clear on this. But if they weren't looking to destroy NO and many of the citizens, and we know that they weren't this incompetent in FL, plus we can't explain why offers for additional resources were rejected, what was going on?
Posted by Marie at September 4, 2005 04:38 PMMichael Chertoff, who certainly looks like death warmed over, actually died because of last week’s hurricane. He was sitting on Trent Lott’s porch, both were drinking mint juleps and pissing into the wind that was just blowing up from Katrina, when the storm blew in and they blew away. The next day they were both found several miles away in a magnolia tree. Lott was not seriously injured and his hair was still in place, but Chertoff was in much more serious condition. All the blood was drained from his body and he was hanging from a branch by only a few strands of his scruffy beard.
Chertoff likely could have been saved but FEMA’s horse-trainer-in-chief, Mike Brown, was unable to deliver the baboon entrails (heart, thyroid, testicles, etc.) necessary to save him in time despite being ordered to do so by Preznit Bu$h earlier in the week. (As an aside, FEMA was successful in delivering VP Cheney’s pig heart that was transplanted into him by Dr. Bill Frist at an undisclosed location in Wyoming earlier in the week before the many reports emerged speculating that the VP was either dead or, at least, in the “last-throes” of his artificially supported life.)
Chertoff’s appearance today and earlier this week was only made possible by him being given the same voodoo intravenous potion that is currently being used to keep well-known, right-wing columnist Robert Novak alive. However, officials point out that Chertoff cannot use this procedure very much longer because he doesn’t sleep in a lead coffin lined with soil from his homeland as Novak does. It remains to be seen how much longer we’ll have to listen to Chertoff’s lies before he kicks off for good.

Marie, what you are saying would be like implying that bushco was trying to "stage" this event?
That cannot be right, why, you might as well say that 9/11, the "new pearl harbour", was staged too.
This is also like saying the elections we have had since 2000 are a bit unusual.
Bite your toungue, or fingers, as the case may be.

Bush admin line.

Karl Rove returns to the whitehouse from vacation.
Okay, now we're ready.
