McClellan: "This is not a time to point fingers."

Thousands of people dead and dying, but don't ask questions?

"Not a time for politics."

Unfreepingbelievable!

2. Scottie, of course this is not a time, especially since

all the fingers are pointing at you.

3. But we have zero tolerance for people

who are hungry, thirsty, and traumatized.

So it is time to point a finger at the real villans...
The poor who did not have the good sense to drown in the flooding.

4. Did he say flood control was a top priority from day 1 of the admin?

Because that's simply a lie. The opposite is true.

13. He did.

Then he cited some bogus figures to mislead, as if they'd done oh so much for New Orleans.

7. au contraire

this is exACTly the time to get the truth out on the failings that led to this disaster before the WH can paper over the truth w/ slick photo ops.

all of the info re: bush's cuts to the levee budget needs to be sent to every media outlet in the country as well as to anyone we know who remains in his 'base'. let them deal w/ this domestic blood on their hands in addition to the bloodshed in Iraq.

8. It's time to accept RESPONSIBILITY for the failure to aid the victims of

Katrina. Didn't Bush mention "PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY" in his speech today (or yesterday - may have been a repeat)?

10. Sure it is, Scotty. It's a PERFECT time.

the people are sick of the lies, and have died for *'s incompetence.

The accountability is coming. Deal with it. Then kindly beam yourself right up your ass.

11. So Snottie, when IS the time for pointing fingers?

Will you keep us apprised of that? Or will the window of finger-pointing close so unexpectedly that any post-mortem analysis of what you and your whole corrupt administration fucked up will once again pass into the realm of ancient history, mere political posturing, and wallowing in the past we need to look to the future?

In a just society, Snottie, you would be slowly roasting on a spit over an open fire outside the New Orleans Convention Center right about now.
