"We didn't seem to have a plan when Clinton was the president"
This is what Jimmy Kimmel (seriously) said on his show tonight when Al Sharpton brought up the incompetence of the Bush administration to act.

I've also posted an Audio Clip

1. Clinton did have a plan
and if Al Gore was president he wouldn't have thrown it away.

4. And Jimmy Kimmel is the expert.
I can't tell you how many times The Man Show touched this very topic.

5. i think he was just trying to play reporter
Edited on Wed Sep-07-05 04:51 AM by JI7
he didn't come off as Hannity or some other right wing assholes.

Kimmel does comedy and the show is mostly entertainment. but the issue was very serious and i think he was just trying to be a reporter. the problem is he isn't informed enough about the issue to ask such a thing. but then again that's how many "reporters" are these days.

he did end up saying he agrees with Sharpton at the end .

6. Who's talking about having a 'plan' ???
Here's a plan: when a disastrous hurricane is about to strike, get ready to help. When it strikes, help.

And if you're in a position of leadership, DON'T FUCKING EAT CAKE AND PLAY GOLF!!!!

I don't recall Clinton failing to obey those 2 rules.

7. Clinton built an agency

after Bush I's instruments and attitudes proved insufficient.

Bush II came in determined to deconstruct it and turn it into a crony haven.

10. Was this Kimmel's audition tape?
I mean, come on, he had to have seen what it takes to be a "journalist" these days:

"Blame Clinton!"

"Blame the liberals!"

"Blame the gays!"

"Blame the Democrats!"

and, when all else fails:

"Nothing is solved by playing the Blame Game!"
