anyone have a collection of Republican "leader" quotes on Katrina?

Like Bush on Trent Lott's house

Like Babs on how good the underprivileged have it now

Like Baker on God finally cleaning up in Nola . . .

anyone?

2. Oh, Yes

Brownie, you're doing a heck of a job

For that matter, what about Brown and Chertoff. Didn't one or the other of them say something about no one knew the levies could breach and another (or the same one) that the evacuees bear some responsibility for not leaving?

6. She friggin' did it TWICE...

To me, it's indicative of a lack of familiarity with the situation.

7. That I can buy. Lack of familiarity. Because of course, her MIL has

trained her not to sully her "beautiful mind."

They're all either stupid or evil. At the very least, no one in that family or either Bush administration has the smallest bit of compassion for the lower classes.

13. I just loathe the fact that she's put out there as a talking head when she

has no real familiarity with the situation. People really listen when she says that things are going well?

9. ROFLMAO - THIS was insufficient?

URGENT - WEATHER MESSAGE
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW ORLEANS LA
1011 AM CDT SUN AUG 28 2005

...DEVASTATING DAMAGE EXPECTED...

HURRICANE KATRINA...A MOST POWERFUL HURRICANE WITH UNPRECEDENTED STRENGTH...RIVALING THE INTENSITY OF HURRICANE CAMILLE OF 1969.

MOST OF THE AREA WILL BE UNINHABITABLE FOR WEEKS...PERHAPS LONGER.

AT LEAST HALF OF WELL CONSTRUCTED HOMES WILL HAVE ROOF AND WALL FAILURE. ALL GABLED ROOFS WILL FAIL...ALL WOOD FRAMED LOW RISING APARTMENT BUILDINGS WILL BE DESTROYED...ALL WINDOWS WILL BE BLOWN OUT.

THE VAST MAJORITY...OF TREES WILL BE SNAPPED OR UPROOTED. ONLY THE HEARTIEST WILL REMAIN STANDING...BUT BE TOTALLY DEFOLIATED.

POWER OUTAGES WILL LAST FOR WEEKS...AS MOST POWER POLES WILL BE DOWN AND TRANSFORMERS DESTROYED. WATER SHORTAGES WILL MAKE HUMAN SUFFERING INCREDIBLE BY MODERN STANDARDS.
