KICK BUTT LTTE in my local paper, the Bangor Daily
Michael Moore showed President Bush sitting stupefied, uncomprehending and ineffectual after being told of the 9-11 attacks.

Bush's response to the hurricane was more active; a press statement that we could recover without help and then off to

California to tinkle his tired tune of Social Security sickness.

Sept. 11 resulted in this oily war in Iraq.

Someone please bind and gag Bush before he launches us into conflict with God, Mars or the solar system because of Hurricane Katrina.

2. Yeah, there's been a bunch of great letters in it lately. You can see the
ones written up to now here:http://www.bangordailynews.com/editorialnews/viewpoints/letters.aspx (Ignore the occasional Bu$h apologists. Maine is a great state, but we do have our freepers and fundagelicals.)

I hate trying to read LTTEs online there because they never format anything right, but I don't buy the paper so if I want to see them before I get the paper from Dad then I have no choice.

9. THIS one is even better:
I am no fan of President Bush, but the attacks on him for America's lack of preparation - such as Paul Light's op-ed (BDN, Sept. 2) - are unfair. First, our president needed to await instructions from the "higher authority" he often cites before he could respond to this unfolding tragedy. He could hardly demand an immediate response.

Second, he - and Vice President Cheney - were fully prepared. No-competition contracts for Halliburton to reconstruct the affected areas have surely already been drawn up. What more could the administration have done?
