Bush Fails To Prevent East Coast Blizzard
Minorities Hit Hardest
by Some Lefty Reporter 02/12/06
As President Bush and his staff cowered in the White House, the snow continued to pile up on the many poor and African Amercian victims who could not afford to get out of town or to safety in Florida. Crucial supplies of blankets, hot cocoa, popcorn and dark rum - so essential to surviving the stress of any major snowstorm - lay in stores undelivered.
"Where is the government? I need my sidewalk shovelled so I can get out to buy my damn lottery tickets!" said one D.C. resident from his living room. "Why are we wasting money in Iraq when we could be spending it here on me?"
Progressive blogs blasted the President for his inaction. "We find the timing terribly suspicious - just as the Domestic Spying hearings kick into high gear, what happens? A major northeast Blizzard. Why now?" wrote blogger FUAmericaNBush2.
Hearings into the Blizzards' effect on hearings are almost a certainty. Howard Dean has suggested he will call for an investigation once his new medications kick in and John Kerry took a break from the sporting activities of the glamourous super-rich in some exotic locale (random choice: Ice Sailing in Finland) to call for new legislation outlawing snowstorms. "The Republican Congress has dropped the ball once again. I have always been a staunch supporter of anti-snow legislation, except for certain locations where I ski. Snow has no business on our roads and the President and Congress knows that."
Calls for impeachment over "SnowGate" as some are calling it already are mounting as deeply as the snow itself, and what will be discovered underneath will prove to have a truly chilling effect on the Republicans, as the inevitable thaw proceeds.
Or something like that.
When do I get my $2000 debit card?
eastern long island has some flooding because the peconic river overflowed. I saw one parking lot flooded, and no one from FEMA had arrived there yet. this is a major scandal, we need congressional hearings.
V.P. Cheney got out in time.
ROFLMAO. Hilarious!
"What did Bush know and when did he know it?!?!?!?"
Bush can't have it both ways...global warming AND snowGate? Its too much...
Didn't FEMA bring your snow blower yesterday?
I'm not a real Hurricane Katrina victim but I did sleep at a Holiday Inn last night, and night before, and night before, etc...
Ping the usual suspects?
Mongeaux funny! Thanks for the laugh!
No President Bush didn't fail to stop it he ordered it up. < / sarc

Bush knew
LOL - good one.
LOL--and don't forget, they OWE you a new house, and don't take one of those things on wheels if you can avoid it!
Al Sharpton wants an investigation as to why snow is ALWAYS white.
Karl Rove has been messin' w/his weather machine again.
Why oh why can't FEMA plug my electric blanket, and will the mayor make Manchester NH a vanilla city?
Sissies...heck a snow storm like that out here on the Dakota tundra wouldn't even cause a run for supplies at local liquor stores.
