I Have To Say Something
I have tried to shuddup about George W Bush with the eternal hope that he’ll just go the hell away.
For the most part, it’s been working.
But dammit, he went to New Orleans to celebrate Katrina.
That’s like killing somebody and then showing up at their funeral with a plate of muffins and a nice potato salad.
Two thousand people died. Doctors and nurses were deserted in the New Orleans parish hospital with sick people and no electricity, food, or water. The horror of that place still keeps me up at night.
But, hell, let’s celebrate!
I was on the other end. I volunteered to help when people arrived from New Orleans with only the sweaty clothes on their backs. Houston took them in. I held the hand of an 83 year old woman who had been separated from the rest of her family. She didn’t know if they were dead or alive. She didn’t know if they were in Houston or Raton Rouge. She thought her husband had died in New Orleans but she didn’t know for sure; maybe he was just lost. Mostly she was worried about her granddaughter with asthma. She asked me to pray with her. Her prayer was that the Lord take her home, to his house.
George W Bush can go to hell.
Jeb Bush is running a TV ad touting his ability to handle hurricanes. The ad features him standing next to Mike Brown, aka Helluva job, Brownie. Holy cow.
I apologize for the rant but Lord help me, I hate that man. I hate him. I saw what he did to people. I saw what he did to this country. I just hate him.
I was under the impression that Jeb was suppose to be smarter the GW.
Have not seen any evidence of it. More evidence to the contrary
Never liked Regan, but really really dislike Bush; bordering on hate.
1I couldn’t agree more. But the good news is that ! ain’t going to the GOP chosen one. To put it in Trump terms, he’s a loooooser!
2@Miz JJ
If you don’t quit talkin’ trash aboot George W he ain’t never gonna paint you a purty pitcher uh flowers!
3I thought it was just a myth, but I was wrong.
A criminal always returns to the scene of the crime.

When will it end?
5I would like to believe that Republicans aren’t evil, that they are crazy or stupid.
They are a mixed bag, with some being evil and the vast majority stupid and/or crazy.
6There are no Mama appropriate words to describe the incursion of Dubya into New Orleans 10 years after Katrina. Before we allow this craven attempt by Dubya to rewrite history, we need only to look to the words of Babs to understand the Bush crime family.
“What I’m hearing, which is sort of scary, is they all want to stay in Texas. Everyone is so overwhelmed by the hospitality. And so many of the people in the arena here, you know, were underprivileged anyway, so this is working very well for them.”
“There are other people out there that are very qualified and we’ve had enough Bushes.”
That’s ‘compassionate conservatism’ Bush style, as expressed by Barabbas Bush in her first comment. Her second comment was a little bit of truth slipping past her lying lips.
Jeb? as the ‘smarter’ Bush? Maybe, if one is weighing the cunning between psychopaths.
7No need to apologize I personally think he should be in prison along with a few others. What stuns me is that no good……….worthless lying dick cheney on the teevee machine with his equally evil daughter bragging about torturing people.
My Dad spent 25 months in a North Korean Prison Camp and has forgotten more about torture then these a……s could dream up in their worst nightmare. Prison for bush cheney and the rest is almost letting them off too easy. Sorry for the rant this hits close to home.
8Dubya is the archetype of sloth. So now you know why bone-deep lazy is one of the seven deadly sins. I think I’ll paint a purty pitcher of the former commander in chief (SNORT!) dressed in a toga fiddling while New Orleans drowns. Nero’s got nuthin on Georgie Porgie; they were cut from the same cloth!
9I also know about hurricanes having survived Hurricane Charlie in 2004.
10@Aggieland Liz
That “same piece of cloth” to which you refer, would be taffeta.
11Ooh Micr what color do ha like for the taffeta toga??
And @Zyxmomma: there had better be a God, it’s gonna take omnipotence to get justice…I hate rich entitled white sheeples more every day, and the screaming irony is that I look like one
12>:#
Amen.
13Hate isn’t good enough.
14I absolutely loathe and despise him.
Some nerve! Dubya and Brownie should be publicly stoned.
15That’s like killing somebody and then showing up at their funeral with a huge banner that says “Mission Accomplished.”
I’m beginning to think that comparing Jeb to Dubya is irrelevant because they aren’t brothers. They are clones. Defective clones who look slightly different.
16I lived in FL when Jeb was gov. Jeb knows didily squat about hurricanes. While he was in office a hurricane was off-shore about 45 miles east of the FL coast moving north. Apparently expecting a very unusual sharp 45 degree turn to the west, Jeb ordered everyone to evacuate.
My sister and I, native Floridians who had experienced many hurricanes, could hardly believe our ears. We stayed put. Our Northern transplant friends and neighbors jumped in their cars and experienced hours and hours of non-moving traffic most of the time stuck on a bridge. The hurricane continued north with a gradual curve toward the west and hit land in the Carolinas.
Jeb’s office announced the evacuation was a great success. Six months later his office announced there would be no more orders for evacuations.
17Bush got what he wanted.
18The thing that amazes me the most is how some folks (my sisters included) are still of the opinion that Dubya is some kind of hero who protected our country and cares about our troops. I am utterly dumbfounded by their continued adoration of this criminal. I really, really don’t understand.
19I have on my kitchen bulletin board a 2″ X 3″ pin that says BUCK FUSH. My family knows not to remove it until well after my last breath.
20Maryelle @ 15 – publically stoned … hmmm … would that be by pegging rocks at Dubya and Brownie or by lighting up a big, fat doobie for them? They would both probably prefer the latter to the former … rocks hurt; doobies make it so you don’t care!!
21@Aggieland Liz
Tough question. Something Hooter-y Las Vegas-y.
22Y’now “delightfully tacky yet unrefined”.
Marcia, the one you throw, not the one you smoke.
23@Aggieland Liz
“Just the right amount of wrong”
24Amen, JJ. Anything that happens to G.W. will never be enough to pay for his destruction of our country.
25charles r. phillips @ #6, George Carlin said that some people are crazy, some are stupid, some are full of ****, and some are all three. I think we know in which category Dubya belongs.
26Bush Baby got 100,000 to make an appearance at The Wounded Warriors fund raising event recently. How much did someone pay him to appear at New Orleans? The whole family lacks the capacity for shame.
27You said it all.
28The devastation caused because of Katrina made me sick. The one thing I kept praying over during the storm was that the levees be kept safe. (I just learned something new as I thought the levees broke after the storm, but they didn’t: http://www.tulane.edu/~sanelson/Katrina/Hurricane%20Katrina%20Field%20Trip%2011-12-06.pdf.) When they broke, I was heartbroken and life as we knew it changed in so many places. Austin still has a large homeless community who like it better here than there.
Much more damage and loss of life was caused by the breaches of the levees than the hurricane itself. Still more was caused by the Federal government hindering and delaying aid efforts. My personal #1 for the hall of shame was the 2000 “…firefighters who had volunteered to help rescue victims to Atlanta for 2 days of training classes on topics including sexual harassment and the history of FEMA.” [ref: Firefighters stuck in Ga. awaiting orders, Greg Bluestein, Associated Press Writer. USA Today. September 7, 2005.]
29Don’t forget the tens of thousands he had butchered and left homeless in Iraq.
30Don’t forget the continuing abomination of ISIS/ISIL.
Jeb and Dubya are both too stupid to be evil.
31True narcissists are incapable of shame.
Lord Micr, the Bushes are STEEPED in wrong, starting with that grand old profiteer Prescott. I wonder if they make a taffeta in the color “bilge”?
32If I remember correctly, other countries were positively lined up offering to help us, and that idiot Shrub turned them all away. No, the country doesn’t need any more Bushes, ever.
33My family lost a close, dear old friend. He was gravely ill in a nursing home and was evacuated last as the hurricane blew in behind the ambulance that carried him upstate. He was in a state of abject terror and died as they wheeled the gurney through the door of the one nursing home who would accept a patient as mortally ill as he was. Bet most folks didn’t know that you couldn’t just whisk folks from one nursing home to another. Naw. They got selective nursing homes in Louisiana and our old compadre got picked last. Look what happened.I’ve been told over time that at least he was lucky not to have landed in the Dome or out on the street somewhere. Another reason why it took so long to get him upstate is that the highways were still full of stalled vehicles and in certain cases, lots of debris which is supposedly why FEMA just didn’t get into the Big Easy as quick as they should have. Well, hellspitanddamn, should the emergency rescue program of the most affluent and powerful country on Planet E have figured that out long before hell met high water? The blatant fact that they didn’t tells me everything I would ever want to know about the guy appointed to run FEMA and the guy who did the appointing.
34I echo every sentiment here about GWB. I reserve my biggest and most vile loathing for Darth Cheney. I think I could physically attack him. Put both on waterboards and let’s line up for our turns. Or? Send em to ISIL’s version of Abu Ghraib. I’d probably prefer both, in the order listed.
35I don’t know how either Bush or Cheney have the nerve to appear in public or on TV.
Both of these war criminals are afraid to go out of the country; I wish they would both wither up and die.
36They Bushs and Cheneys make me hope there really is a literal Hell.
37I’m a pagan ..I don’t hate..but if I had the chance I’d bitch slap that sonofabitch till ole Barbara’s nose bleeds.
38I used to hate him, but I try real hard not to hate. However, I have not abandoned my aspiration to be arrested as an old(er) man, for peeing on his grave.
39Sentiment shared Timbo.
