Sunday, September 04, 2005 Confirmed: Landrieu Nails Bush on N.O. Photo Ops Sen Mary Landrieu Site: "Flying over this critical spot again this morning, less than 24 hrs later, it became apparent that yesterday we witnessed a hastily prepared stage set for a Presidential photo opportunity; and the desperately needed resources we saw were this morning reduced to a single, lonely piece of equipment. The good and decent people of southeast Louisiana and the Gulf Coast- black and white, rich and poor, young and old -deserve far better from their natl govt." War and Piece: "According to German TV--ZDF News reported that the prez's visit was a completely staged event. Their crew witnessed how the open air food distribution point Bush visited in front of the cameras was torn down immediately after the president and the herd of 'news people' had left and that others which were allegedly being set up were abandoned at the same time. The people in the area were once again left to fend for themselves, said ZDF." Hat tip to Themis, and is anyone shocked by this? Bush faked fixing the breached levees for a great photo op, and he paraded around a plastic turkey for the troops. So why wouldn't he tempt starving/dehydrated refugees w/relief and then rip it away from them, too? God knows his slut twins have plenty of cold ones at their disposal, so why should he also care if his kingly presence ceased food distribution by helicopter, as the Times-Picayune points out? |
