McClellan: Quick! Look over there!
George W. Bush already had his "accountability moment" back in November, when Republican Ohio Secretary of State Kenneth "Katherine Harris" Blackwell, who had sat on Ohio's committee to "re"-elect Bush, made sure that Bush "won" Ohio and thus "won" "re"-election -- remember?
If I or any other sane, competent person were president of the United States of America, every fucking moment would be an "accountability moment," but Bush and the members of his cabal believe that in his (presumedly) eight-year reign, King George II was to have just that one "accountability moment" in November 2004.
"This is not a time for politics," White House spokesweasel Scott McClellan declared today of the mainstream (not just the moonbat) media chatter about how the devastation by Hurricane Katrina had been predicted in 2001 by FEMA and by engineers and how Katrina's impact probably would have been considerably less if the Bush regime hadn't been pouring billions of U.S. tax dollars out of the country and into the eagerly waiting pockets of Dick Cheney's Halliburton and other war-profiteering subsidiaries of BushCheneyCorp, using Vietraq as the vehicle to do so.
"This is a time for the nation to come together and help those in the Gulf Coast region," McClellan weaseled. "That's where our focus is."
Well, that's where they want your focus -- just like how, in the aftermath of Sept. 11, 2001, the last thing that the members of the Bush regime wanted you to focus on was the presidential daily briefing titled "Bin Laden Determined to Strike in U.S." that Bush was given on Aug. 6, 2001, while he was on permavacation at the ranch in Crawford.
No, all the Bush regime wanted you to focus on then was waving your made-in-China U.S. flag and focusing your hatred like a laser on the sand monkeys.
Maybe George W. Bush can't breathe and swallow a pretzel at the same time, but we blue-staters, at least, can do two things at once: We can deal with a crisis and we can consider how and why the crisis happened and whether it could have been prevented in the first place -- so that we can prevent a similar crisis from happening again.
Mounting evidence is that like the Bush regime had been warned about 9/11, the Bush regime had been warned about the devastating effects of a large hurricane on the Gulf Coast states but instead decided to cut federal funding to the Gulf Coast states that would have mitigated Hurricane Katrina's destruction -- and to spend the money on Iraq, which had never possessed weapons of mass destruction and which therefore had never posed a threat to the United States.
So it was politically necessary for McClellan to suggest today that any questioning into the Bush regime's leadership and stewardship -- well, the lack thereof, I mean, of course -- is base. Because to politicize things is base -- unless you are a Republican.
If Bush truly can't handle politics, maybe he shouldn't have decided to become a politician. If he can't handle the heat, Bush should get out of the kitchen (of course, he usually is far away from the kitchen and on vacation).
My dream is that the Democrats take back the House and the Senate in November 2006, then the House impeaches Bush, and then the Senate gives Bush a much-deserved early retirement by finding him guilty of his crimes, which include war crimes and treason. (In my dream -- which is better than a sex dream -- Cheney, also being a war criminal and a traitor, is not allowed to succeed Bush.)
See?
I just gave the American Red Cross another $25 for the victims of Hurrican Katrina, for a total of $50 so far, and I have "played politics" by having had the audacity to point out that the Bush regime's stunning incompetence and lack of leadership and stewardship -- coupled with its funneling of billions of U.S. tax dollars from the things that we American taxpayers need here at home to the subsidiaries of BushCheneyCorp that are profiteering from the Bush regime's fabricated war in Iraq -- have had quite real consequences for the American people.
So I have proved that it is possible to both help the people of the Gulf Coast states and to point out that their crisis could have been and should have been -- but was not -- prevented in the first place.
That's not "playing politics." That's called multi-tasking.
