You’ve got to hand it to the Shrub, he really learned from the Hurricane Katrina fiasco. Suzanne Malveaux reported on the noon news on CNN that the boy wonder is leaving DC to go check on the carnage in Texas and then will be going on to the NORAD facility at Cheyenne Mountain in Colorado to stay on top of the military’s response to Rita. HUH????
Since when is the military in charge of coordinating the response to natural disasters? Exactly how much more blatant does the transition to police state have to get before the citizens of this burg wake up. The best though was when Malveaux acknowledged that Bush might be leaving DC in part to avoid this weekend’s protests where she breathlessly informs us that hundreds if not thousands are expected. Geez, there will be about that many attending from my mid-size midwestern city alone and organizers expect upwards of 100,000. Does CNN not read their press releases? This kind of blatant underestimation amounts to an unacceptable and blatant misrepresentation of the truth. Hmmm, maybe that’s why Mr. and Mrs. America don’t have a clue…
Late breaking fantasy: Where exactly is Crawford in relationship to the storm path? Perhaps W could open up the ranch to those fleeing the storm. Just a thought.
