At the risk of baiting the Republicans on the board...

Quote:
"Now, for you people who are saying, 'Well, stop pointing fingers at the president ... left-wing ... the media's being too hard: No. Shut up. No. This is inarguably -- inarguably -- a failure of leadership from the top of the federal government.

"Remember when Bill Clinton went out with Monica Lewinsky? That was inarguably a failure of judgment at the top. Democrats had to come out and risk losing credibility if they did not condemn Bill Clinton for his behavior. I believe Republicans are in the same position right now. And I will say this: Hurricane Katrina is George Bush's Monica Lewinsky. The only difference is this: Tens of thousands of people weren't stranded in Monica Lewinsky's vagina."


Discuss. Without vitrol, please, if at all possible.

EDIT: I just thought this was funny, that's all – politics aside.

Monica Lewinsky's vagina is probably pretty fat and juicy.

He's right, you know...the tens of thousands were stranded in her mouth, except for a splinter group which mysteriously landed on her blue dress.

Louisiana chose not to fund the levys despite receiving plenty of money from the federal government. I'm not trying to back Bush or anything but to blame the president for this destruction is ridiculous

I see failure on all levels, not just the feds.

Though, the Army Corps appears to have tried like hell to get the levees and barrier islands built up. Props to them for the effort even if they were called chicken littles for their warnings.

Scientists and Engineers weren't to blame for any of this, but the fault isn't just at the federal level.

Plenty of blame to go around for the Feds and the local authorities.

there is a difference between "its bush's fault" and "bush showed a lack of leadership".

i've heard a relativly small number people that blame the entire disaster on bush. the people that are using that rhetoric are usually the people that routinely defend the president's actions. they are putting those words in the mouths of those that are clearly disappointed in the president....i think the right is doing this because they can not defend his lack of leadership so they make this blanket accusation that the left blame the entire disaster on bush which is clearly an absurd idea.

Thank you, Dana. I really needed that. Thankfully my officemate has left for the day, otherwise I would have had to explain my outburst of laughter.

Jon Stewart is correct. He is a clever Jew who surrounds himself with clever people.

However, on Friday nights, I watch Bill Maher!

Yeah, this shit aint Bush's fault-----but it is on his watch so there has to be some blame-gaming. Sorry GWB. You got a pass on 911, you'll probably get a pass on this one too because you have the political genius to Deny everything. But you really should take a little blame for something.

Look, I have found myself in this position of defending Bush in recent weeks because I dont believe in villifying the President of the United States for dumb shit but lets consider something here (and I really hope that Dalen and Fu will help me out on clarifying this shit):::

How amazing is it that the conservative elite has become The Big Boss at flipping the script on shit in this country? Since 911, if you criticize Bush you are UnAmerican, yet everything (especially 911) is still blamed on Clinton?????

Plus these same media outlets that own these alleged "liberally biased" newspapers (I'm just gonna throw out Cox for starters) are the same ones that own radio stations who have broadcast days that consist of Boortz,Hannity,and Savage? Equal time, indeed.

The script has been flipped folks, only its us who are losers. George Bush and the Feds are not your enemy. Its the corporations who have destroyed America.
