Howard Dean: Katrina Deaths Bush's Fault
NewsMax.com ^ | Sept. 15, 2005 | NewsMax.com

Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean is blaming President Bush for the hundreds of deaths that resulted from what he said was the Federal Emergency Management Agency's mishandling of Hurricane Katrina relief efforts.

"The Bush administration just went back to turning [FEMA] into a dumping ground for people who evidently didn't have anything else to do," Dean told the Fox News Channel's Alan Colmes on Tuesday.

"And it's really too bad because now people have paid for that with their lives," he added.

When Colmes reminded him that Bush said he accepted personal responsibility for any federal shortcomings in the response to Katrina, Dean shot back:

"But there's a lot of people dead and there's a lot of people without their homes. Those people needed help on time. They didn't need help and somebody to take responsibility two weeks after the fact."

Apparently Dean hasn't seen the clip where Blanco admits to not calling in the military soon enough. She is not admiiting (today) that it was her fault.

I hope the many good people in this agency turns their backs on the Rats forever for this shortsighted remark.

How utterly predictable.

Wake me up when this talking dummy says something we don't expect him to say.

Tell the truth Howard:

"Katrina deaths the result of the enstupidation (new word) of an entire race for political gain by heartless, brainless Democrats".

Hopefully, Republicans won't lose patience and interrupt him! Every Dean press release creates more Republican voters.

Dean is a mean, nasty megalomaniac. This statement isn't even stupid. It is just a further indication of Dean's moral bankruptcy and is the clearest illustration yet that he will use anything including disasters to further his political agenda.

This is as sociopathic a statement as I have ever read. IMHO, that is the perfect description of Dean. He has no conscience and no decency. It's all about him and he will do or say anything to self-promote.

I didn't want to read the article or any posts. Dean's an idiot. I just want to see the raging Dean photos.

He's laughable.

Why ANYONE takes this guy seriously is beyond me. The Dems ought to be embarrassed every time Dean opens his mouth. Heck, I'm embarrassed for him and I'm not a Democrat.

For a person with a doctor's education, this loud mouth is among the stupidest individuals on the planet. Basically, in my opinion, he is not worth the tissue his made is made of.

Dean, always a day late and a dollar short not to mention his shortage of brain cells.

Howard Dean just never, ever disappoints. He is as consistent as a machine stamping out bottle tops...and he is such an unrelenting a**hole, too. God, the guy is good, isn't he?

They showed the clip of her confession on FOX this morning. She said the buck stopped with her, and she's taking responsibility, too.
Being a democrat, I'm surprised she stood up. They usually hover below the level of the beasts. She's moved up a notch. She's now up to the beasts ankles. A least it's an improvement.
