Here's another good one for you, Perfesser, and you, Hero-

Quote:
One prominent African-American supporter of Mr. Bush who is close to Karl Rove, the White House political chief, said the president did not go into the heart of New Orleans and meet with black victims on his first trip there, last Friday, because he knew that White House officials were "scared to death" of the reaction.

"If I'm Karl, do I want the visual of black people hollering at the president as if we're living in Rwanda?"

Remember ladies and gents, in a real crisis, a real leader looks to his advisor who tells him to hide out under a desk for a while.

He looked bigger when I couldn't see him.

Don't ask where I found this:

SUPER-SECRET BUSH PHONECALL TRANSCRIPT 08272005 08:42 Contact unknown
PERMANENT COUNCIL MEMBERS L2 AND ABOVE EYES ONLY

" So it's a local matter?...Well sure, if they're as stupid as we think.....in the meeting we had I was told that it didn't matter, in fact we could make a catastrophe work for us....yeah *laughs*, What war, I get it....NO, I was told loss of life would be no different, no matter what we do. I was told that. So it isn't a question of letting anyone die, it's just how do we play it if it hits hard and those a**holes DO f***up like we think they will....yeah, so if it goes well, we send everything in FAST, if it doesn't, well, we'll let them swim in it a bit, so to speak...wait 'til they ask us nicely *laughs*...F**k 'em, they'll say bad things about us in any case!....that's right, win/win.....yep. The approval ratings. Toss one back for me, y'hear?....Adios"

Facts, facts, facts ... the more I read of them, the more pissed off I get.

So don't expect facts in our media, especially on TV. Just lots of lots of sound bites and spin control with Bush prancing around looking concerned and grave.

My conclusion: LEADERSHIP IS THE AUTHORITY TO MAKE SOMEONE ELSE WALK THE PLANK.

Please don't think they give a shit.

I made that sound pretty good, huh? I can almost see that exact phone call taking place. It's all like a game to them....
