"Bush plans Iowa flood tour"...Better late than never?
Bush plans Iowa flood tour

SNIP>

The president on Sunday expressed his condolences for victims of the Midwest floods.

"There's a lot of people hurting right now," he said, following church services in Paris. "My thoughts and prayers go out to those who have suffered from the floods in our country." White House press officials said the president was briefed on the flood situation while overseas.

To get a little feel for the "LOVE" out there for the chief chimp scroll down and read what the folks out there think of "THE TOUR".

I just hope that Senator Chuck Ghastly and The Moran in Chief show us how they can walk on the water during the photo op.

I'd say the folks think Better Never than Late, when it comes to the chimp coming to town to "FIX" anything...

1. Oh Christ
Would someone tell this dumb shit that disasters are not Disneyland and the victims are not in fact animatronic. I wonder if whomever's babysitting him that day remembers to tell him to keep his hands and feet inside the boat.

2. First he needs to share some birthday cake with John McCain,

then maybe play some guitar, and then do a flyover from 20,000 feet. Only then will the people understand the depth of his compassion.

6. Yeah, that'll help. His security operation will bring relief efforts to a fucking standstill.


Just what Iowa needs.

7. "My thoughts and prayers go out to those who have suffered..."
Yes, it's bad here in Ia. However, I'm curious: does his "thoughts and prayers" go out to the scores who have suffered horribly and died in Afghanistan and Iraq?

8. If Jr. prays like he does everything else it won't amount to much.
The only thing Bush has ever been good at is screwing up. He's not even good at lying, and he does that 24/7. He does fool himself, but then it don't take much to fool a damned fool I guess.

11. I think Dumbya only knows one tune...
Way down in the congo land sitting in a coconut tree,
there was pickles and a chimp--and Lordy how she loved him.
Everynight in the pale moonlight sitting in the coconut tree,
these love words she always said to he...

"Abba dabba dabba dabba dabba dabba dabba"
said the pickles to the chimp.
"Abba dabba dabba dabba dabba dabba dabba"
said the chimpee to the pickles.
All night long they chattered away.
All day long they were happy and gay,
swinging and swaying in a honky, tonky way.

"Abba dabba dabba dabba dabba dabba dabba"
said the chimp, "I love but you."
Abba dabba dabba in pickles talk means
"Chimp, I love you too."
Then the ol' baboon, one night in June,
married them and very soon,
they sailed away on an abba dabba honeymoon.
