Welcome to LAKE GEORGE (from http://www.attytood.com/) *** MUST READ ***
http://www.attytood.com/

excerpt:
Wonkette says that federal bureaucrats angry over the funding cuts for levee projects and related anti-flood programs in New Orleans have come up with a name for the mess down there: Lake George.

And she had email from "a friend at the EPA." If this can be verfied, it will show that the Iraq-related slowdown in federal levee work is directly related to the breach that caused the flooding that has killed at least hundreds. Here's what her federal source reports:

We're naming it Lake George, 'cause it's his frickin fault. Have you seen all that data about the levee projects' funding being cut over the past three years by the Prez, and the funding transferred to Iraq? The levee, as designed, might not have held back the surge from a direct Class 5 hit, but it certainly would not have crumbled on Monday night from saturation and scour erosion following a glancing blow from a Class 3. The failure was in a spot that had just been rebuilt, not yet compacted, not planted, and not armed (hardened with rock/concrete). The project should have been done two years ago, but the federal gov't diverted 80% of the funding to Iraq. Other areas had settled by a few feet from their design specs, and the money to repair them was diverted to Iraq.

1. That's pretty rich
I'd prefer Lake DUBYA DUMBASS or Lake CHIMPY or Lake IMPEACH THE BASTARD but Lake George will do..

3. The hurricane wasn't his fault!
But the flooding of NO is!

Contibuting to global warming with no sign of belief in the sciences that tell us it does indeed exist. "Nope, God hasn't told me it exists therefore it doesn't"... Long term 90 degree gulf water temps, arctic melt, CBDs and the list goes on and on.

Nah lil boots might not be directly responsible for the hurricane but he sure did help it do what it did with his policies of destruction and hubris.
