Cheney: Nation won't forget Katrina's victims

You and Georgie most likely will the next time you take off on vacation, like you did when the catastrophe happened.

You can't remember anything you've already completly forgotten.

He is a vapid, white, girly man, who needs hundreds of body guards to protect his evil ass.

Which is more than I can say for Bush, Cheney, or most of the GOP leadership......

Unless they can milk it for votes, it's "Katrina who??"

Katrina, Corrina...what's the diff?
People, shmeeple.

one of his "contractors" probably just got the bid!

Have twenty.

:o

That's probably just the signing bonus they gave haliburton as part of their no-bid sweetheart deal to profit from other people's misery.

If we ended the criminal war in Iraq, how much real money and how many national guards troops would be available to do some real help on the Gulf Coast?

How about more action to help people get their lives back on track? $ is only beginning of aid? How about more action, more help, less empty promises and words, more action?

:wtf:

Moran!

:grr:

trent lott is part of the big scruggs lawsuit against state farm insurance

they have forgotten even the rich and powerful victims, in the end, if you are from the south, i guess you are just toilet paper to be used by these thuggs

even trent lott himself has had to learn the hard way abt how much and how well they remember the victims

...Trent Lott is still whoring for the administration and NeoCons.

So much for that wakeup call.

Cheney reaps Katrina tax benefits for non-Katrina donations

Vice President Dick Cheney appears to have benefitted from the Hurricane Katrina tax relief law for charitable donations unrelated to storm victims. So reports TaxProf Blog, citing information from Notre Dame law professor Michael Kirsh.

According to the VP's 2005 tax return, Cheney claimed $6.8 million in charitable deductions -- a whopping 77 percent of his annual gross income. That's well over the 50 percent limit that would have applied had it not been for the Katrina Emergency Tax Relief Act of 2005, which Congress passed unanimously and President Bush signed into law on Sept. 23, 2005 ...

Or did he? They have no shame while they blow hot air.

He was in a PhD program there briefly but got dropped because he never did any actual work.

the proper phrase is 'they blow'. No further description is needed, as it is an understood noun......thenk you...the grammar coordinator ;)

of Hurricane Katrina, he was, I believe, house hunting on the EAST coast.

Cheney doesn't care about any people but his base.

Fuck you, Mr. Cheney, fuck you. :grr:

victims following the storm.

...speech for days to get it right. :argh:

I think he means once we're done counting them accurately, then we can forget them. We're still missing about...oh.....3,200, aren't we?

3,200 that we don't even know if they're dead or alive! Don't forget the "possibly dead or just missing for a long time"!

-85% jimmy

...couldn't care less about the Katrina victims. How could the hurricane victims ever make him money except through the companies hand picked to do the rebuilding?? There's much more money in military equipment so of course that's where Cheney's focus is.

Rather, I narrowed my comments to Cheney being able to fake compassion of any kind for anyone. Therefore, I still claim that to carry that off he must have had coaches work with him for days to get that speech right. Was there a catch in the voice, or possible a tear? Oops, his coaches may have missed something. :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm:

by neglecting them.

but they have to wait in line behind the more important issues like A CONSTITUTIONAL AMMENDMENT TO BAN GAY MARRIAGE????????????

OMFG!!

What has happened to our country.

not

to be bothered with Katrina until the bad publicity forced him to make a visit several days later.

Just gotta understand who the GasOilPetro folk think the real victims of Katrina are ...

will be ripped by a hurricane this year, and the insurance company denies his claims!!!

I'll bet the house in St. Michaels was purchased with the Haliburton shares of stock that he was "donating" to charity.

It's said that the next three hurricane seasons will be as just as large.

"It's working out quite well for them."

First they get a horrific hurricane, then they get Cheney/Halliburton.

Who did Louisiana piss off to get this kind of luck?

WASHINGTON (Reuters) — Companies with ties to the Bush White House and the former head of FEMA are clinching some of the administration's first disaster relief and reconstruction contracts in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.

At least two major corporate clients of lobbyist Joe Allbaugh, President Bush's former campaign manager and a former head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, have already been tapped to start recovery work along the battered Gulf Coast.

One is Shaw Group Inc. and the other is Halliburton Co. subsidiary Kellogg Brown and Root. Vice President Dick Cheney is a former head of Halliburton.

Bechtel National Inc., a unit of San Francisco-based Bechtel Corp., has also been selected by FEMA to provide short-term housing for people displaced by the hurricane. Bush named Bechtel's CEO to his Export Council and put the former CEO of Bechtel Energy in charge of the Overseas Private Investment Corporation ...

We won't forget who left them twisting and turning in the wind (sorry), either!! :grr:

The WORLD will not forget what the American government allowed to happen to the victims of Katrina.

He has gall to say that, after what they did not do to help all the hurricance survivors!

feel a little pressure to look like you care, dick?

for the door from this MASSIVE crowd...

What about the missing people who will never be included in the death toll?
We all know how much compassion he has for the corporations that took a hit. What about the people who didn't have six figure incomes before Katrina?

Or the Incompetent Resident and Vice Resident who were safe and comfy while the victims died.

<seething anger off>

I look at Katrina as another 9/11 for Bush. All sorts of warning and no response from this supposed Yale student.

How many people in this world are dead because of this man

currently from trailers?

What part of "not forget" is Darth referring to?

what BULLSHIT! :-(

:evilgrin:
