I was just watching CNN's coverage of the tsunami disaster and they had Patrick Leahy on commenting about it. He went to great lengths to state that the President had waited to long to make a public statement about the crisis and that our initial offer of $35 million dollars was not nearly enough. To her credit, the interviewer said that the White House was claiming that the President's critics were unwilling to give him credit for anything he did to which Leahy responded that he would give credit when credit was due.
Dear Leahy,
Go f*** yourself.
Hey Leahy just keep it up! This kind of stuff will turn the American people against you Dems again in 2008.
They already blamed him for a hurricane if I remember correctly
Gee, can't wait to hear Leaky Leahy's comments about Kofi "Skis While Asia Floods" Annan.
I demand Dick Cheney take care of this for all of america.
What an ignorant clown!
If 35 million isnt enough for leahy maybe Frist can cut his office budget and donate that?
What a tired old fossil Leahy is. I hope the dems keep putting guys like him in front of the cameras for the next decade. They'll be extinct soon.
Why didn't the reporter(ette?) ask Mr. Lea(k)ey what the Demokrap Party was doing to ease the sad situation? Like, Keeping Ted Kennedy out of the water for a few weeks......!
Do you suppose leaky will pass this information on to the jihadists?
Leahy can kiss my ass.
Plus the Gallup poll saying Bush is: THE MOST ADMIRED MAN IN AMERICA.
Ouch! That had to leave a mark on Leaky!!
What a richard!
Dear Leahy,
Pee up a rope.

Odious toad.
G.W. has been elevated to Emperor of the World! Cool.
Instead of a State of the Union Address, it will now be known as the State of the Global Union Address. G.W. will personally be flown to each disaster area, where he will ceremonially shovel the first pile of dirt before rescue operations may begin. He shall have his hair coiffed, botox injected and orange tan applied before appearing on camera to display a perfect solitary tear to make sure people know "he feels their pain". He shall send our military door to door across the globe to shake down every last penny for disaster relief.
And as his First official act as Emperor, Bush will decress Senator Leahy have his mouth muzzled.
If I were asking the question:
"So Senator, you say President Bush mishandled our response. Now, how do you grade President Clinton's response to the first World Trade Center attack in 1993, when he never visited the site?"
Senator Leahy was remarkably restrained. It is quite clear to any reasonable person that this whole earthquake/tsunami situation would never have happened if George W. Bush had not been re-elected.
The good news is; Michael Moore will now have the basis for a new documentary film of major proportions, in which the President will be seen vacationing for days on end in Crawford, Texas while tens of thousands perished.
Could it possibley be that President Bush was waiting to give Kofi Annan the opportunity to speak first in order to give the UN credibility? Could it be that after Annan dropped the ball, that Bush was forced to step up and speak first?

Odious Toad - sounds like a great name for a heavy metal band!
Perhaps Theresa will write a personal check.
drecress=decree
Perhaps Theresa will write a personal check.
Hey Pat -- it MUST be true because we say it's so, you irresponsible POS. (rant over)
Yes! We're definitely overdue for a reprise. At least then the entire left (Leaky Leahy included) can get off Rummy's back and bash Cheney for awhile again. Boy, this gets old.
I assume that this documentary will include real time footage of the first 7 minutes after Bush learned about the tsunami?
Catholic Relief Services (Designate contribution to Tsunami disaster fund on menu)
The Salvation Army South Asia Disaster Fund
My question to Leahy..........what have you done buster?
Senator Kerry could not be reached for comment.
Kerry has been in Ketchum, Idaho, for several weeks, and he plans to go to the Middle East for the first two weeks of January.
Skiing?
I hope you are all busy e-mailing the "odious toad" or the piece of turd.
Leahy can kiss my grits.
I was waiting to see how long it would take for the Bush bashing to begin. SURPRISE!!! I didn't have to wait long!
The democrats are willing and able to use any death to use to further their political gain. From the single death of a senator killed in a plane crash with his son turnimg the wake into a campaign rally, to the 1,000 deaths rallying cry last summer, to the Florida hurricanes being tied to the U.S. not signing the Kyoto Accord, to the `not personaly signing the letters', to the disaster is SE Asia.
My God, they are a disgusting piece of crap.
The tide water had not receeded before the enviromentalist were claiming the the 9.0 quake was due to building freeways and pumping oil causing a weakening in the sperical structure of the earth.
If GW had delivered a `I feel your pain ' speech imediately after the event and had the Indian and Pacific fleets already at the docs, these same demonrats would call it grandstaning for political purpose. They would all call it undermining the U.N. Oh, wait, they are doing that as I write this.
We are not moving fast enough with sufficient money ($30 + Million. Kofi is meeting next week with E.U. leaders to see what he should do with their $14Million.
We should just ignore the demonrats and their media mouthpieces. All reputable (repulican) interviews should be going to conservative talk shows and newpapers. Ignore the others.
lol. Best post on the disaster flap that I have seen. I like the way you think.
Precisely.
Just as the socialista penny-ante dictators and corrupt UNionists and american libs have an infinite amount of hate for President Bush and God fearing conservatives, so do they believe that the US has an infinite amount of taxpayer money to donate to their favored Swiss account!
Well they can KISS MY ROSEY RED IRISH ASS.
Leave it to the loser Democrats to try to turn this terrible event into a political issue.
I guess Leaky Leahy, aka Senator Depends, thinks that if Bill Clinton was still President, he would have lifted up his hands like Moses and stopped the water from hitting land.
Dear Sir,
I have never been more apalled in my life than when I heard you on CNN stating that the President of the United States had acted to slowly in the face of the tragedy that is still unfolding in the Indian Ocean region. Of all the low, cheap shots the Democrats have ever sunk to, this is the worst.
You know full well that $35 million is only a starting figure. You know full well that the United States will do every last thing that you "reccommended" in your letter to the President The US has always done so in such disasters and will continue to do so now. When all is said and done, the US will have lead the way in the relief efforts in time, effort and money. We always have. You know this to be true, so for you to try to score partisan political points off of a tragedy of this magnitude is beneath contempt for not only a Senator of these United States but for any sound minded human being.
For once, could you please put aside your party's interests and think of the greater good here? More than 100,000 people are dead and it is feared that as many as a million may be dead and that's just from the wave itself. Sir, the ends do not justify the means. Find your route back to power somewhere else. This is not a time for politics. I appeal to your basic humanity, sir. Please drop the politics and just help.
Yours,
Mark Dixon
My e-mail to him
I pray to God everyday that you choose to retire; since your brain cells apparently already have.
You are so envious of President Bush's popularity, you would say anything just for attention.
You really are simply hurting your own Party by being so petty.
Mmmmm, I see a copywright infringement lawsuit between Timmy the Turd and Mr. Hanky that will rival Triumph the insult comic dog and Pets.com hand puppet.
The Vice President of the United States of America cordially invites you to enjoy marital relations with yourself.

Really? Some BushBasher on here last night was saying that Bush's polls were going in the tank!
Really!
I have wondered if the "stingy" attack on Bush was a pre-emptive to keep the "most admired" off the front pages. Heaven knows the slime media had a lot of practice at keeping stuff off the front pages.
