CAGiversary!
Its been a couple of hours since I read this. I've been sitting here, seething with fury, trying to think of a way to express how I feel about this. Lets try...
I think this ultimately proves once and for all what we've always known about Bush's supporters: they've selfish, greedy mother-
ers who care about nobody but themselves.
We had people locked in a sweltering, unventilated, stinking football stadium for days, forbidden to even try to walk out of the city and maybe find help somewhere themselves. Infants dying of thirst. Old people dying because they didn't have their medication. And this went on for DAYS. DAYS passed, while national guard crews sat around waiting for authorization from Washington to do something. The FEMA medical ship, which nobody bothered to call to service until Tuesday, and couldn't leave port until Friday, is STILL IN NEW YORK until tomorrow. The gov. of Louisiana asked for 40,000 national guard troops the day before Katrina hit - they may finally get that number sometime next week.
And 48% of the country rate this responce as 'good to excellent'.
Think about that.
Thousands have died because incompetent assholes, with no experience in disaster planning or management, were appointed to manage disaster planning and management. Appointed by who? Bush. And 46% of the country say Bush has done a pretty good job.
...
...
Words cannot describe this.
...
Ok, so if 10,000 people dead isn't a big deal to the country, what is? Why, gas prices, of course. 80% of the country is unhappy with the government's performance.
...
What can you say about this? As I said, words fail me at this point. People are dying by the thousands because of sheer incompetence, but apparently that's just fine and dandy as long as it doesn't force people to pay a few bucks more for their Labor Day trip. The only thing these people care about are themselves. The suffering of others means NOTHING to them (and I'm sure the fact that its mostly black people suffering doesn't help matters any either.)
I hope they rot in hell.
