So will there be a "Top TWENTY Conservative Idiots" next week?
Is it possible to even limit it to that many?

Keep in mind, beyond Katrina there is lots of other stuff.

Although, maybe Pat Robertson is right. God may in fact be on his side. After all, does anyone even have time to go after him for requesting assassinations and Supreme Court "retirements?"

2. As of the latest poll numbers, at least 35% of America makes the list.
After the Katrina hurricane, anyone who still supports the Bush Administration is a conservative idiot.

3. I hope Mr. Bush is NOT in the top twenty
Bush is not to blame:

1 - 9/11 - Clinton’s fault
2 - Capture of Bin Laden - Clinton’s fault
3 - Not finding any weapons of Mass destruction - Democrats also said Iraq had WMD
4 - War going bad in Iraq - Clinton destroyed the military
5 - $3.00 gasoline prices - Democrats blocking building new refineries
6 - Largest deficits in history - Democrats can not control their pork projects
7 - Largest trade deficits in history - Democrats buy too much stuff from China
8 - Poor response to relief effort - La. Governor and City Mayor to blame



:sarcasm:

5. I'll recommend one...
This coming from a Governor who received millions for single pork riddled bridge in Alaska.

Gov. Murkowski: $2K is a lot of money - especially for a handout
Alaska Gov. Frank Murkowski, a Republican, said he had concerns about the potential for abuse.

"That's a lot of money. The question is how do you separate the needy from those who just want a $2,000 handout," he said.

The cards will be issued on a one-per-household basis, said Natalie Rule, a FEMA spokeswoman in Washington. As a safeguard against fraud, FEMA will use aerial photographs of devastated areas to verify that the refugees were, indeed, forced from their homes in cases where they cannot provide documents to prove their losses or identities.

"We've got a huge population of people that have been evacuated with very little by way of possessions and we have to have a way to make sure these people can function," Rule said. "If there are those who are out there to cheat the system, that is going to be very disappointing. But the main goal is to get the aid out."

Rule said the agency was setting up registration centers in shelters in Houston and Dallas where evacuees could obtain the cards.

Congressman Don Young (R-Alaska) is one of the House's most proficient feeders at the public trough. He thinks the highway bill is not quite generous enough. As Boston Globe columnist Jeff Jacoby wrote, "One wonders what more Young could have wanted. The bill funnels upward of $941 million to 119 earmarked projects in Alaska, including $223 million for a mile-long bridge linking an island with 50 residents to the town of Ketchikan on the mainland. Another $231 million is earmarked for a new bridge in Anchorage, to be named -- this is specified in the legislation -- Don Young's Way ... ."

http://www.nytimes.com/2005/09/08/opinion/08thu1.html?hp

Surely Representative Don Young, the Alaska Republican who is chairman of the transportation committee, might put off that $223 million "bridge to nowhere" in his state's outback. It's redundant now - Louisiana suddenly has several bridges to nowhere. Likewise, Speaker Dennis Hastert could defer his prized Prairie Parkway, a $200-million-plus project dismissed as a behemoth Sprawlway by hometown critics, and use the money to repair the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway.

8. How about "Anyone who is still a Conservative is an Idiot"?
9/11 March to Bushville, DC

On 9/11 survivors of Katrina will commit an act of Nonviolent Civil Disobedience by setting up an illegal camp on the Washington, DC Mall. Bushville, DC will stay there as long as it takes to get answers and change.

Visit www.bushville.org and spread the word.

We will camp on Bush's doorstep and make him face us every day until he is driven from power.

Join the March to Bushville, DC. If you can't make it on 9/11 visit us on 9/24.
