Thoughts On Katrina

 


Thank you NY Daily News for this.




Come the fuck on.

Bill Clinton on whether or not the criticism directed at the federal government for its slow response to the devastation brought on by Hurricane Katrina:

"You and I are not in a position to make any judgment because we weren't there."

He later added in a sit-down interview on CNN:

"I'm telling you," nobody thought this was going to happen like this...they had problems they never could have foreseen."

Arianna Huffington sums my thoughts on Slick Willie perfectly:

"Is his need to be a part of this country's wealth and power establishment so great that it blinds him to reality? Is his need to be fawned over so desperate that he has forgotten how to speak the truth?"

House Speaker Dennis Hastert on the future of New Orleans:


"It looks like a lot of that place could be bulldozed."

The man just embodies compassionate conservatism.

Laura Brown, a Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman, on reports of helicopters being shot at by New Orleans residents:

"We're controlling every single aircraft in that airspace and none of them reported being fired on," she said, adding that the FAA was in contact with the military as well as civilian aircraft."

You mean to tell me someone has been lying? Shocker.

And in another surprise, Halliburton has been tapped to rebuild New Orleans.

Kanye West on this great land of ours:

"America is set up to help the poor, the black people, the less well-off as slow as possible."

Condoleezza "I Have No Soul" Rice on charges of racism affecting the relief efforts in New Orleans:

"That Americans would somehow in a color-affected way decide who to help and who not to help, I, I just don't believe it. The African-American community has obviously been very heavily affected. But people are doing what they can for Americans. Nobody wants to see any American suffer."

Negro, grow up.

Crimson, with the "Gold Digger" remix:

He takes my money, when I'm in need
Yea he's a triflin head of state indeed
Oh he's a oil digga way in D.C.
That digs on me


....

If you ain't no punk, holla we want IM PEACH MENT
we want IM PEACH MENT
Yeah!
It's something that we need to have


Get down, Crim, go'n head get down!
