I kid you not. We’re living in a fucking farce, people.
Showing just how seriously the Bush administration takes Katrina’s devastating destruction (to what remains of their credibility, anyway), our First Lady is going on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. 'Cause nothing says “we care” like high ratings!
Aw, wouldn’t want to get those lily-white hands of yours dirty, wouldja, Pickles? Noblesse fucking Oblige. 80-year-old President Carter goes out and builds homes with his bare hands, but dear Laura mustn’t be sullied with manual labor of any sort.
Ahh! So Laura going on a high-rated TV reality show to pass out some clothing = the government caring about the thousands of displaced families. Gotcha. And when Jenna appears on Fear Factor, it’ll surely display the administration’s concern about feeding the poor.
They claim they want to encourage the “private sector” to give money to our neighbors. Heaven forbid! Wouldn’t want the government to do what it’s supposed to do, would we? Don’t know about you all, but I’d sure as fuck rather my tax money go to disaster cleanup in the U.S. than to exacerbating the disaster we helped create in Iraq.
What’s worse is that the Bush admin actually asked the Extreme Makeover folks for this gig. Yup, among their very first reactions to a national tragedy is this meaningless, pathetic, exploitative camera-whoring gesture.
DIRECTOR: Places. Okay, bring on the homeless black people… okay, smiles, you’re happy homeless black people, take the khakis the First Lady is… CUT! Good God, can’t we get some thinner and more grateful looking poor black people? Call Central Casting.
Ahhh yes, every Republican’s response to a Bush criticism: Oh yeah? What about the Clintons??? Christ, don’t you people get fucking tired of hauling that out?
FWIW, Senator Clinton is doing her job and asking Bush to create an independent commission to examine the response to the disaster. She’s also pushed (successfully) for millions in funds for NY firefighters. `
Come on, duffer. Do you really think Laura going on Extreme Makeover is anything more than the latest of Bush’s blatant and desperate grasps for publicity?
Well in fairness, the man did get a blow job in office… I mean, c’mon. Contrast that to Bush who, might have possibly maybe gotten us into an unwinnable war by lying and to “begin a democracy” that will last three minutes after withdrawal (Clinton got a blow job, which means withdrawal was something he didn’t even think about!) and may have pretty much bungled everything he touched while turning surplus into a nightmarish deficit, but it’s a simple fact: BUSH DIDN’T GET A BLOW JOB FROM AN INTERN! It bears repeating at every opportunity.
I see one for an “extreme makeover” dentist, one for the “Extreme Makeover” show, and one for dental health/oral hygiene. Is that last one because of the Clinton reference?
I predict that this board will talk a lot about the ads, but nobody will click on them.
I for one believe it needs repeating in every thread, no matter what the subject but sometimes I get so caught up with the actual topic of debate that I forget. Therefore I thank the Lord on a regular basis for the diligence of Duffer and his merry little band.
Now, back to the topic at hand. Clinton’s blowjob.
Why do you need a fund? Some of the posters on this board have been giving him virtual ones at every opportunity, I doubt it would take much to convince any of 'em to do it for real.
