Sen. Leahy Makes It Official, Bush Has Mishandled The Tsunami Crisis
CNN | 12/30/04 | Me

Posted on 12/30/2004 1:20:20 PM PST by Reaganesque

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.

They still don't get it. It is precisely this kind of behavior that, in good part, lost them the election. They just can't get past their blind hatred of this man. They are proving, again and again that they have nothing to offer apart from hate and rage. Pathetic.

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......!

I am surprised Leaky hasn't released the info about when and were our carriers will arrive in the area.

Do you suppose leaky will pass this information on to the jihadists?

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.
