What Bill Maher said.....
His closing bit the other night:
"Mr. President, this job can't be fun for you any more. There's no more money to spend--you used up all of that. You can't start another war because you used up the army. And now, darn the luck, the rest of your term has become the Bush family nightmare: helping poor people. Listen to your Mom. The cupboard's bare, the credit cards maxed out. No one's speaking to you. Mission accomplished.
"Now it's time to do what you've always done best: - lose interest and walk away. Like you did with your military service and the oil company and the baseball team. It's time. Time to move on and try the next fantasy job. How about cowboy or space man? Now I know what you're saying: there's so many other things that you as President could involve yourself in. Please don't. I know, I know. There's a lot left to do. There's a war with Venezuela. Eliminating the sales tax on yachts. Turning the space program over to the church. And Social Security to Fannie Mae. Giving embryos the vote.
"But, Sir, none of that is going to happen now. Why? Because you govern like Billy Joel drives. You've performed so poorly I'm surprised that you haven't given yourself a medal. You're a catastrophe that walks like a man.
Herbert Hoover was a shitty president, but even he never conceded an entire city to rising water and snakes.
"On your watch, we've lost almost all of our allies, the surplus, four airliners, two trade centers, a piece of the Pentagon and the City of New Orleans. Maybe you're just not lucky. I'm not saying you don't love this country. I'm just wondering how much worse it could be if you were on the other side.
"So, yes, God does speak to you. What he is saying is: 'Take a hint.' "

Dave, very interesting quote. I can't blame him for the hurricane, but when watching television I began thinking that he must not do the same. If so, he would have the same thought as I that the least that could be done (while waiting for the government-train to get on the tracks) is to drop food and water to those people. Army rations or even jars of peanut butter from Walmart. Something, anything..but quickly.
So, I no longer have the warm fuzzy feeling that there's a post-911 plan for a load of medicine, food, and water sitting with a bunch of big airplanes and awaiting deployment to my area in case of a disaster (manmade or otherwise). I'd like to know why, considering there's been enough time to figure out how.
Maher is full of himself. He'll rant and rave until someone he likes gets in and then everyone that disagrees with him will be a "dumb American".
Ah yes. He really should be more like Bill Clinton. Keep his pecker in another Democrat's mouth, and everyone will be fat and happy.
Clinton lied but nobody died!! The right wingers have to bring up Clinton everytime someone disagrees with the "Bush". Face it the Democrats accepted the fact that the Republicans tried to impeach Clinton for his little tryst with Monica, but what are they going to do with an idiot who starts a war, bankrupts our country, and speaks nothing but lies? Well, now!!
