Actually Cokie, I am interested in the "blame game"

You ignorant cow.

Why? Because this disaster is such a monumental failure on all fronts from Bush and Company that I want to make sure it does not happen again.

they don't want to "play politics" or "play the blame game"?

What. A. Joke.

Go glad the guy from NYT is on this panel telling the truth.

for anybody who's paying attention. Apparently Cokie is still in her ivory tower.

responsible so we can prevent this from happening again! It's not about blame, it's about accountability. A word Republicans love to use when it comes to other people.

Bastards.

eom

could do no good?


Damned hypocrites. If Middle-America still buys this load of hose-crap, they deserve the government they have.

NO one died. And Big Dog's popularity stayed high.

shifting responsibility onto Blanco and Nagin.

Doesn't keep happening. They didn't get any kind of help from this and it shows, your political image is ripped to shreds! :mad:

they are out of excuses, but are still obliged to defend their master.

cuts to the First Responders would have a catastrophic effect on the rapidity of aid and a response to ANY catastrophe on a local and/or regional basis.

After all, the First Responders are supposed to respond first.

Dems should volley the "blame game" spin right back between Repuke eyes by saying "It's not about blame, it's about accountability. America deserves answers. There must be consequences for incompetence," etc.

...

fuck her. If it were the dems in control she'd be singing in a different key.

HOw else to get to the heart of what failed and why.

Oh, I know it's all Bush, his cuts to the wealthy and corportations, and cuts to first responders.

They're call first responders for a reason, Cokie you fucking moron.

Even when they've assigned credit.

* is blameless.
Brown is blameless.
The FEMA liaisons are blameless.
Blanco is blameless.
Nagin is blameless.

For some, even every person in NOLA is blameless.

You pick your politics, and all else automatically follows.

It's called taking responsibility!

We should all e-mail her with that response.

I just watched the idiot from Homeland Security in MTP play the blame game by saying that the citizens should have evacuated and THEN he lectures about how people shouldn't "play the blame game" right now because it detracts from all the work that still needs to be done.

So now I'm PISSED for two reasons:

1. So these rich pompous assholes want ME to believe that it's ok to blame the dead, the poor, the disabled and the babies for not getting out of NO but I shouldn't even think about holding THEM accountable for their complete incompetence? Are you fucking kidding me???

2. They really want me to believe that if I criticize them then they can't get off their already MIA asses and try to do something right for a change? Grow the fuck up and do your job already. I don't have the time, energy, or the liberal compassion to give a fuck whether your bureaucratic ass is offended by my anger. Fuck you.

rant complete. thanks for your thread. I really needed to get that off my chest.

Politics for sure, demanding accountability as their incompetence only has one relief: Spin! And they will spin themselves over the edge just like with that DSM......

That'll work, right? :shrug:

please do not equate cokie "i`ll suck or lick anyone for a story" roberts with our bovine friends..remember they are sacred in india

...

On 9/11 they were deep in the blame game before the towers hit the ground. As they should have been. There constant babble did not hold up rescue operations.

If Roberts took her own advice she would be in the gulf area wading in raw sewage rescuing people instead of flapping her trap on MTP!

must be the new script. It's ONE thing if these people were actually doing something to help while they cry 'no blame!', but most are just protecting Bush's incompetent ass.

with the new talking points.

I assume the it's-their-fault-they-stayed meme is not going over as well as first expected.

XD

Brown and Chertoff should be replaced by people who know what they are doing NOW! They are freakin' clueless and this is not over yet. This is what the Democratic leadership should be saying. I would bet there are still some people in FEMA who could step up and take over. How many more people will suffer and die because these political hacks are keeping their jobs? :mad:

the number three city of the Diaster Trifecta, you are damn STRAIGHT I want to just who the heck the fuckups were and how to get him run from office before they destroy MY town.

that's playing the BLAME GAME! (gnashing of conservative teeth)

This is what our country has come to folks. Just imagine if Clinton did this.

If she, and other media whores, had not been shilling for this Resident for the past several years, we would not be in this situation.

I lost respect for this "ignorant cow" several years ago. Cokie really bought the kool aid. I hope she likes the taste. She has family in NO.

WTH happened to her?

Maybe they killed the real Cokie and a pod person took over?

:shrug:

Our job is to make sure it's the ones who are truly responsible. They're expert at floating to the top of the septic tank, but it won't happen this time. America is furious.

they will pay.


But, how can we keep Halliburton from profiting from this disaster? Because the motivation to let things get worse is to feed the Halliburton beast.

I say Blanco should reject Halliburton resonctruction, and say she wants local companies to do it.... give the people of Louisiana the task because they are invested in the state.

Ohhhh Cokie, I hate you with the intense heat of one thousand burning suns.

She said something about "flying down there and making a political show," I wish I could remember it exactly. She rolled her eyes, and we all know she was talking about President Gore.

She's awful, God-awful. I love when Fareed is on the panel to absolutely smack her into submission.

I want to write her and have her submit to me in writing how the Blame Game works, because apparently only RW shills know how to play it. What with her being one of America's top RW shills, I assume she knows so much about it that she can referee it. So when are we allowed to play the blame game, whore? Here are the rules as I understand them.

When dems alone are involved, in something, they are automatically guilty.

When pukes alone are involved in something, they are automatically innocent, and any attempt to say otherwise is "partisan politics."

When both are involved in something, like this storm aftermath, we wait until the RW spinmeisters have taken control of the facts and produced their Bizarro world version of events. Then the BLAME GAME begins. And it is all the dems fault. Until such time as said spin has been planned, "it is not time to play the blame game."
