It's not just the National Guard, it's the FEMA people and the military. Tuesday morning, to anyone paying attention, it was obvious that *massive* aid was going to be needed in a big hurry. But Bush was waltzing around wishing John McCain a happy birthday, playing guitar, and delivering speeches comparing the Iraq war to World War II. And then he took another day of vacation before he actually got himself back to the White House. It's not just the libruls who are fuming about this, by the way. > Remember they were in their homes as well cut off from > communications and electricity like everybody else.

Unquestionably, those people are the scum of the earth. ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Get fast access to your favorite Yahoo! Groups.
