Man in Water in LA Yells: " I voted for that idiot! How Stupid Am I?"

[leftchick]

I swear to God I saw it on CNN today around 6:00 pm. There was a reporter and camera crew in a boat going around in the waters in LA questioning people on how they were coping. They came upon a man alone in a boat with an oar, ironically with a flag embossed towel around his neck.

They asked how he was coping. He Went OFF! (paraphrasing here because it is late) " Government? What Government?? I have not seen any help! Where is the government? Where is bush? If I saw him right now I would... aaaarrrggghhhh!(throwing fist in the air!). He Is an IDIOT! I voted for him too! How stupid am I?"

Poor guy.....I hope the SS did not get the number off of his canoe.

[nadinbrzezinski]

1. One, twio, three opeoole, they can deal with it

260 million, not very likely

[Jim Sagle]

37. Sure they can. They have nukes.

[Maat]

2. Thanks for that story! LOL!

I hope they didn't take down his canoe either.

That clip should be re-run on The Daily Show ad nauseum.

:rofl:

[eleny]

3. He's surely a candidate for a video at crooks and liars.com Nominated

[IndyOp]

4. Wow - on CNN - Excellent!

:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

And, as for the man's question: "How stupid am I?" - I will treat this as a rhetorical question given that he has just done a service for the nation by dissing * on national TV.

:kick:

[roguevalley]

5. god bless him anyway. he's just the tip of the revenge iceberg

[leftchick]

8. you know I would normally have no pity for these freeper types

I mean he is a rural southern white guy who voted for the idiot. In these circumstances I have complete sympathy for him. God bless him, I only wish he had seen the light sooner.

:(

[existentialist]

34. I wish

about twenty million of them had seen the light sooner.

[Liberal Dose]

44. It wouldn't matter if every single one of them saw the light. The fix is

in at the ballot box, and just gets more perfected every four years.

[nookiemonster]

45. Yup.

And as long as Diebold is taking care of "business", isn't a change of guard pretty much a moot issue?

[Liberal Dose]

47. I fear that we are fast approaching the point where we will be the ones

who need a foreign country to come and save us from this fascist tyranny. Here's hoping it's Canada! :D

[The Straight Story]

6. Which idiot

There seem to be so many in office of late :)

[progressoid]

12. Yeah, they're like Tribbles - they just keep multiplying!

[leftchick]

19. TRIBBLES!?!

Indeed! :rofl:



How did they end up eliminating them? I don't recall.

[progressoid]

29. Beam them over to the enemy of course!!

[SheWhoMustBeObeyed]

42. Just as annoying. Nowhere near as lovable, though. n/t

[SammyWinstonJack]

46. But tribbles were so cute! nt

[Tsiyu]

48. Oh, the Trouble with Tribbles

I hope the pissed off Repukes multiply as efficiently.....

[Blue Belle]

28. That was my question... did he specify which idiot he voted for??

:shrug:

[leftchick]

30. he was referring to bush

it was very clear in his diatribe. I am sorry if I was not.

[progressivebydesign]

36. He said "Bush", that's who he referred to just before that statement. n/t

[ecoflame]

7. Yep....I saw it, too

He was in the boat, stroking on the left as he rowed away. It was great!

[daninthemoon]

9. Hope it gets replaye, and often.

[leftchick]

13. I Wish!

I think it was a one time treat!

[slaveplanet]

10. CNN to Bush

Payback's a bitch bubba

[DoYouEverWonder]

11. Looks like Louisiana will be dark blue

by the next election.

At least this one has enough brains to know he did something stupid. There is still hope for humanity.

[Tatiana]

15. But first we have to make sure LA and NOLA are rebuilt.

And that those displaced residents have the right, means, and resources to return!

[Tatiana]

16. dupe. n/t

[Kokonoe]

23. 25,000 new blue votes here in TN

:pals:

[FreedomAngel82]

27. Oooh yeah

My town has some people too (I'm in Chattanooga). My town can go either way though and now we have a great mayor who's an indie (he reminds me a little bit of Jimmy Carter, I don't think he has a military career though).

[leftchick]

31. It gave me a lot of hope ....

And I have been looking for hope all week.

[Cocoa]

14. he's up to his waist in his answer

[nicknameless]

17. Can't wait for it to show up on CrooksAndLiars

:D

[girl gone mad]

20. Yep Hope someone Tivoed it. n/t

[leftchick]

25. TIVO to the rescue!

I hope someone gets it!

:popcorn:

[BQueen]

39. I sent C&L a link to this thread - I said 6pm Eastern

anyone who saw it correct the tip if I had it wrong

[Pirate Smile]

18. I want to see that video.

Which reporter was it?

[leftchick]

21. I was making dinner and did not catch who it was

I went to cnn.com looking for it with no luck. Damn! I think it was a one time showing.

:(

[Pirate Smile]

33. It would be a perfect piece to go along with Bush's falling poll numbers

on Late Edition tomorrow.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

22. He's never getting into another bush event

I hope he spreads that thought through out all his peers. Preach it, bush is an IDIOT!

[FreedomAngel82]

24. Aw

:( You do have to feel bad for them. They needed their government more then ever and more then anyone and they failed them. This is going to hurt Bush and the republicans for a long time. Everybody knows they're in charge.

[Liberty Belle]

26. There must be thousands like him.

I hope someone will post a link to the video -- this should be e-mailed to everyone left in America who voted for Bush.

Kick!

[marzipanni]

32. Just don't let nothingshocksmeanymore near this dude...

or she may run the guy over.;) http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=104&topic_id=4707364

Hey, this guy is worth throwing a life ring towards because he will be living testimony during the 2006 and 2008 elections. I seem to have been gravitating towards the Greens, or even points farther to the left, but I realize there are a whole bunch of folks from the Gulf region poised on the brink of conversion as we speak. We (the Democratic party) needs to be openly talking to them and offer them a lifering. Bush* is toast.

[txindy]

35. It's true that there's no one as zealous as a convert

I doubt this man or any others who have seen the light because of this disaster could ever go back. This has ripped the veil off and lets them see the possibility of the other lies, as well. We need to point out those lies because a lot of people just aren't aware of them. But they will be. :toast:

[stevietheman]

38. That's what I'm saying... the stories of thousands of victims...

will storm the media for weeks, if not months to come.

It may well be that the stories of *real people* are what finally ruin the Bush cabal.

[Hailtothechimp]

40. Millions are now saying the same thing as this guy n/t

[texpatriot2004]

41. I saw it too. It was a great clip in a sad way.

He also said, FEMA, AAAHHHHGGG in a disgusted growl.

[leftchick]

43. it was sad

also very telling of how bush voters feel. I have watched CNN this AM and have not seen a repeat. Although many others have repeated from yesterday. :eyes:
