It Take A Hurricane

For Most Americans To See?

Watch out when the mainstream media finally finds its balls. Largely

silent for the last five years, while BushCo bludgeoned everyone and

everything around him (except his cronies), our spayed and neutered

newsreporters finally have begun to take their jobs seriously.

Finally, they've begun to express their indignation with the Bushco

incompetence and corruption that's been terrorizing people for five

years now. Indeed, some newsreporters have become almost as

perceptive as those on the Internet. Welcome to the cause; better

late than never.

 

Witness--FINALLY--the calls for resignations from the mainstream

media, for the inept and downright criminal cronies heading

government agencies like FEMA and Homeland Security. Witness--FINALLY-

-some of the most heated dialogue ever allowed to air on national

television.

 

Aaron Broussard's tearful rebuke to FEMA and BushCo should have

inspired the entire nation to demand the resignation of everyone in

this tawdry regime. Likewise, Keith Olbermann's primetime dissection

of Ivy-League educated (supposedly) Michael Chertoff was as shocking

as it was priceless. Chertoff, allegedly head of Homeland Security

but holding dual citizenship, asserted that " Louisiana is a city that

is largely underwater. "

 

Is this guy Chertoff really just an anorexic Homer Simpson? Do Bush

appointees really compete to see who can be more ignorant, more

amoral? Or is stupidity simply a job requirement?

 

Is it just me, or does anyone else fear the clueless morons leading

this nation more than they fear any Muslims? Are Americans citizens

more terrorized by a few Islam fanatics, or by the incompetent

scoundrels who allegedly " lead " us? Witness all the

folks " terrorized " by a perfectly predictable natural disaster in the

Gulf and the shocking lack of response from the bumpkins in power in

Washington DC. God help any state not named Florida.

 

Indeed, I think criminal charges should be brought against both FEMA

director Michael Brown and Homeland Security head, Michael Chertoff.

Resignations mean nothing more than a wrist slap. Nothing less than

long prison sentences would be fitting for those two guys.

 

But of course, as friends of the President, Brown and Chertoff will

probably get medals. After all, the incompetent morons who allowed

the 9-11 attacks and the morass in Iraq received Presidential Medals

of Failure, I mean freedom.

 

Jefferson Parish president, Aaron Broussard--a president who actually

gave a damn about his constituents said: " I want to give you one last

story and I,ll shut up and let you tell me whatever you want to tell

me. The guy who runs this building I,m in, Emergency Management, he's

responsible for everything. His mother was trapped in St. Bernard

nursing home and every day she called him and said, " Are you coming,

son? Is somebody coming? and he said, " Yeah, Mama, somebody's coming

to get you. Somebody's coming to get you on Tuesday. Somebody's

coming to get you on Wednesday. Somebody's coming to get you on

Thursday. Somebody's coming to get you on Friday and she drowned

Friday night. She drowned Friday night! Nobody's coming to get us.

Nobody's coming to get us. The Secretary has promised. Everybody's

promised. They,ve had press conferences. I,m sick of the press

conferences. For god's sakes, just shut up and send us somebody. "

 

Then Broussard burst into tears. People will not soon forget that

image, not even the mainstream media it seems.
