The perils of George (pix heavy)

This is a picture-heavy thread. I am sorry for that.

I am enraged that this lying, thieving, murdering war criminal still occupies our White House.




U.S. Rep. Katherine Harris meets Bush after his arrival Tuesday at MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa.


But though Harris spoke animatedly for several minutes and kept a firm grip on the president's hand, he wore a grim expression and didn't display the jocularity he usually bestows on local greeters.




























A Biloxi resident cries near the Quiet Water Apartments on Gulf Drive in Biloxi, Mississippi August 30, 2005. Helicopters plucked frantic survivors from rooftops of inundated homes on Tuesday and hundreds were feared dead along the U.S. Gulf Coast after Hurricane Katrina sent a wall of water into Mississippi and flooded New Orleans. In the Mississippi coastal city of Biloxi, hundreds may have been killed after being trapped in their homes when a 30-foot (9 metre) storm surge came ashore, a city spokesman said.

The remnants of Katrina smashed into Georgia, spawning bands of storms and tornadoes across the state that caused at least one fatality, multiple injuries and leveled dozens of buildings.

Katrina would flood 85 percent of the city, and tens of thousands of survivors, like this couple, would need to be transported to higher ground.



Many of the survivors waiting for shelter in New Orleans just after the storm are now dispersed throughout the country. Katrina left roughly 100,000 people homeless.

And the pictures say way more then our "liberal media" ever will.

You showed the world that we can be the media .... thanx again!

:cry:

I have a feeling that Little Lord Pissypants never sees pictures like these...not that he would give a shit anyhow.

The amount of hate I feel for that man grows stronger everyday. I don't like feeling like this.

One more thing...Jeb Bush has one of the largest heads that I have ever seen!

:cry:

;(

I thank you for this thread. Kicked and recommended.

I am torn between the horror and the humanity. I think horror wins. Kurtz would probably agree.

I hope someone saved him. He's someone's beloved little lap dog, not suited for fending for himself. God help us all.

wearing a fuzzy sweater and smiling in a later pic -- it was posted here.

And I couldn't get it out of my head, either. So thank you.:-)

The pets whose owners were forced to abandon them bothered me terribly. There was one little cocker, dirty and afraid, that MSNBC kept showing, that ripped my heart out. He reminded me so much of my Barney.;(

I'm glad to know that this little guy's story had a happy ending.:-)

She/he had grown a little more fur (not a lot) but this was admirably compensated for by the doggie sweater, and the eyes were bright and the dog-smile was unmistakable.

were often more than I could take. I'd finally just leave the room.;(

The chief meteorologist on one of my local Albany, NY, TV stations has a "pet connection" segment where he features animals up for adoption. I found my beloved cocker, Barney, when he was on the news :-) and we've kept in touch. He wrote me to let me know they were showing a special on the animals of Katrina and asked me to spread the word. I never had the heart to tell him that I couldn't watch it.:-(

I'm just glad to know that at least one of these little guys had a happy ending. Thanks.:-)

peace

Your pictures speak words that everyone should hear!

did I ever tell you that you are my fav?

:loveya: <--- Just for you!

wanna dance?

Of one thing I am certain... this administration's remaining days are numbered.

God and the world will hold this bastard accountable.

you are. This is very affecting and definitely one for the bookmarks on DU, so we can always be reminded, since we will never forget. Thank you, my friend. What a photo essay and an indictment of Bush*, et al! This one is a keeper. Thank you.

Rhiannon:hug:

It just came to a furious boil today.

Thanks again for your kind words.

Back to the fight.

9/11/01. Since 11/02/04 I've been bewildered and enraged. This just did not compute with me. But I share your feelings, and know that many others on DU do, as well, demonstrated in the number of votes that your thread has received. You even have a fan in GD, a good friend of mine. We share your pain and admire your eloquence.

Hate to say it but I've seen stuff like that all over Eastern Europe and it has nothing to do with dipshit or his lackeys...

Shows so clearly what this man has done to our country, and to Iraq.

"The horror. The horror." (except the Gore and Kerry pics) :( :( :(

for war with Iraq:mad:

"Get that un-elected warmonger out of the White House" says it all for me.

Seriously. It feels as if the guy worked hard just to see how much he can f*ck it up.

This miserable bastard and his corporate cronies have brought this country NOTHING--And I mean NOTHING--but grief and shame.

mind boggling to see this mans evil in pictures

One of our darkest periods ever.

Thanks for such a compelling photo-essay. :toast:

And to all the dedicated photojournalists whom we will never know, thank you for your tireless efforts to tell the truth to the world.
