Enough is enough---it’s past time for the Repuglicans to stop protecting their party and their moron leader George!  They need to protect America! Nowhere in their oath of office do I see a mention of REPUGLICAN PARTY!!!  Mainstream corporate media should be all over this story like stink on a pile, because that’s exactly what it is---a pile!!!  No one is safe in America with the Repuglicans running this charade called government, no man, woman, or child.  What happened in New Orleans could happen to you, natural disasters are not limited to the Gulf Coast, and if left up to this cabal of nincompoops when the next “natural” disaster happens again, and it surely will, look out!

If ever the proof of “absolute power corrupting absolutely” was as plain as the nose on your face, this is it---“Senate kills bid for Katrina commission”!  If Americans really want the government to be responsible and safety and security is truly important, then the Repuglican Party has got to go!  Starting with touch-screen voting machines all the way up to the top of this cabal to include George Bush and his administration, REPUGLICANS HAVE GOT TO GO!

The latest revelations coming out regarding the 9-11 Commission's Report 1 year later, just go to show that Lee Hamilton and Thomas Kean are not modern day Daniel Ellsbergs!  While telling America the truth was tantamount to Ellsberg, Hamilton and Kean have been satisfied to remain silent while this administration continues to destroy America from the inside out!!!  Such statements as, "While we still believe that the entire document could be made available to the public without damaging national security, we welcome this step forward," certainly does nothing to absolve their silence.  Innocent people died, are still dying, and the responsibility for their deaths can be laid at the doorstep of George Bush, his administration and all those who continue to remain silent!

While I agree that New Orleans needs rebuilding and in the end it will benefit all Americans, I would like to remind everyone that for all of George Bush’s life he had Poppy’s “deep pockets” to dig into whenever and where ever his “youthful indiscretions” created a problem, but today finds him digging into the pockets of the American taxpayer to foot the bill!  After all, how else does he secure his inheritance intact?  What did Americans expect from a spoiled rich kid who plows hurly-burley, bull-headed into whatever “light-bulb” pops into his pea-sized brain?  In the end it all boils down to Americans are now paying for whatever it takes to refurbish the reputation of the moron responsible for breaking it in the first place!  Colin Powell’s “crate and barrel” principle has now become, “Bush broke it, and we have to pay for it”!  And all the same profiteering corporations have lined up on Bush’s doorstep to collect your money!

The Gulf Coast isn’t all that blew away in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.  Obviously someone in the Bush administration has been busy on things other than Katrina.  Rep. Joseph Crowley: “...the White House was given a free pass to continue hiding information in regard to the Downing Street Memo. … The tragedy is that the American public will never know what really happened because this decision was made during a meeting of the International Relations Committee when members voted along largely partisan lines to kill three pieces of legislation that would have required the White House to release the documents that led to the Downing Street Memo.”  And the cover up goes on!!!

* * *

Given the tenure of the Bush administration, somehow these two statements from a Washington Post article do not compute---“Bush Takes Responsibility For Failures of Response”---and then---“Bush already has dispatched his top strategist, Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove … to guide the rebuilding of New Orleans and relocation of flood victims.” Is it really “top strategist” or top thug?  The refrain I find myself repeating over and over in every waking hour has become, God help New Orleans, God help America!

* * *

Oh-my-God---the moron has to ask Condi if he can go to the bathroom!  For God’s sake America, if you truly value your life and the lives of your children, George Bush spoiled rich boy, has got to go and it ain’t to the bathroom!

* * *

Meanwhile, back in Iraq, the death and destruction goes on!  When is the Repuglican party going to wake up to the fact that their boy wondering can’t handle eating pretzels and watching TV at the same time!  How in hell do they expect him to handle destruction on both the domestic and foreign fronts?
