What was it that he promised? $65 million?

Damn Abramoff.  Where is he when you need him to help Native Americans, Indians, Redskins, Braves, what ever sport you’re talking, build casinos.  We need them built before those people, you know, those people, start thinking about returning to New Orleans.  What a gold mine that place can be.  But first it has to be Rooted, Browned and Kellogged.  If they come back, we need to tell them that they chose to move.  That’s right.  No one forced ‘em to move.  In fact, no one even helped them move.  Bush says, “Don’t blame that sh*t on me.”

Casinos are going to pay a whole lot more taxes than those people would pay.  In the name of security and reviving the economy, he can say that New Orleans will be eminently domained.

It’s not like The Regime is racist.  It’s had two Black Secretaries of State, one of whom they made a fool on the floor of the UN (I bet he wished that he was on the floor) and the other with whom they’re filling the fool’s shoes.  Maybe that’s what she was shopping for during Katrina.

But, really, can The Regime make anyone look more like a moron than they’ve made George W. Bush look?

Yeah, it was cute to hear him mangle the language.

Sure it was a hoot watching him look for WMD under chairs and desks during his speech at a media dinner on March 24, 2004.

Sure he makes members of his cult feel special because he allows them to witness his speeches in person.  It’s sort of like the velvet rope of political rallies.

And landing on the USS Abraham Lincoln in May 2003 in full military flight regalia claiming that “major combat operations in Iraq have ended” was priceless. For everything else, you need MasterCard, especially since the Bankruptcy Bill went into effect.  I guess he saw the statue fall, too.

At that time, luckily, there were only a few hundred dead soldiers.  No big whoop.  Now where has that USS Abraham Lincoln gone?  Is it under this desk, that chair?  Oh, man, the sense of humor never stops.

He can say that Iraq is like the Indianapolis 500 because we’ve turned enough corners to have made it back to where we started and there are corners up ahead that need to be turned.

Where’s a yellow flag when you need one?

The 2000 selection.

The 2004 exercise.

The 9/11 fires from hell.

The refusal to allow a 9/11 investigation.
