10. You have got to be shitting me!!
Jackson was fantastic, as was Tubbs-Jones and all the speakers between and after.

Try to find all of them and listen. Absolutely historic and riveting and angry!

16. Bush showed up on the tarmac in NO
and Rove was glimpsed briefly in the camera. Rove, to be assured he was seen, walked back into the camera eye for a full frontal view. What a fucking scumbag traitor.

6. Kilpatrick of MI just on CNN
That woman was pissed, and I would bet she has no problem kicking some serious political ass.

11. They represent the humane block of congress.
If they didn't exist, we would have no voice, at all.

I love our Black Caucus! :hug:

12. I was SO HAPPY
everyone is coming together to take away the option for bush to look like the hero this time. They are attacking him right away and putting him on the defensive. Squirm fuknut squirm.

15. OUTRAGE!
Edited on Fri Sep-02-05 10:32 AM by lebkuchen
Angry with the media, moralizing on behavior rather than on saving lives, angry that Louisianans/Mississippians et al are called "refugees" rather than Americans. Angry that after the bailouts our taxdollars have provided the airlines that the airlines couldn't find it in their hearts to bail out Americans in dire need. Angry that the hotel chains--Hilton, Hyatt, Mariott, etc.-- did not come forward to provide housing and assistance for the homeless.

FEMA was blasted for lack of assistance, the military was blasted for lack of assistance...

Excellent speeches, one and all. If you thought the NO mayor kicked ass, you should have heard the Caucus!
