A Houston newschannel referred to the act as "an extreme example of looting." I would imagine both sides could agree that Free Republic represents the far right? Their thread on the article is here. I don't think I read a single negative comment. In fact, most of the contributors either wanted to elect the kid mayor or contribute to his defense fund.

Well, S. Weasel, I posted this along with your link on Panty-gone, but I'll be surprised if Ms. Marcotte lets it pass the moderation queue:

Yeah, anti-looter rightwingers are all over wanting this kid arrested. You know, since none of us have had our brains destroyed by leftism, we can tell the difference between a kid taking desperate measures to rescue people, and thieves stealing wide screen tvs and jewelry. Too bad YOU can't.

Stupid race-baiting twat.

Oooo...Aaaace....that made my nipples hard

Ah, thanks, Andrea. I knew it should've been posted "over there" but I am personally unfamiliar with this particular "over there." I try to limit my participation in Bizarro World blogs to short stints from which I can recover at leisure. I'm still working out the toxins from the opening of the Huffington Post. Brrrr! Nurse!

Marcotte gave it the old college try, but I think my favorite post of the last few days is still Arianna going off on Clinton for spoiling her "teachable moment."

I'm so sick of La Huffingtard. Someone should drop her in the middle of NOLA without any backup. Let's see how she copes once her hair starts to melt in the heat, and all her jewelry gets stolen.

"Teachable moment." Man, that phrase just gives me the chills.

Sometimes the left really really seems to read the stage direction instead of the script. I mean, "teachable moment?"

It's so. . .soviet.

Ace, you are on fire today. Keep it up.

Ace,

Me too, then.

Sigh.

It really is depressing.

Good rant, though.

Every so often I look at the garbage boneheads like this spew out and wonder if it isn't just the opposite of what we do in places like this. And every time I look at it critically I come to the same conclusion. We just aren't the same. We deal in whole facts. Not half truths and outright lies. We call each other on it when we screw up.

They don't and that is what makes them the scumbags they are.

I thought Huff's most telling line was when she admitted they want to use the disaster to further their politics. Pure evil.

BTW, I'm a Freeper and I praised the bus thief in my blog here.

bus = poor man's SUV.

That crazy russian poet lady scares the crap out of me. Did anyone read her comment to Greg Gutfeld? Oh, yeah, she's nuts alright.

Actually, I would bet that both the Governor of LA and the President hope the bus "thief" is charged, just so they ccould make a point of pardoning him. The idea that anyone is going to do anything other than honor him for potentially saving lives is laughable.

The responses at HuffPuff are facinating - they're eating their own like starving wharf rats trapped in a cage.

Re: Thanks to AllahPundit for ruining a gorgeous sunny-cool New York afternoon.

Where's the japanese kids? Where's the professor? Where's Raymond Burr?

I read a good question: How come the lefty rich are not taking in refugees into their many empty mansions? Does not Arianna have a spare bedroom or two? With all their SUVs, boats, and jets, how come they didn't offer to help?

Hubby said that Bush's speech included a reference that the devastation covers an area the size of Great Britain.
Is that true??

I don't have any frame of reference for understanding what 90,000 miles really is.

The state of Utah is ~85k square miles.

Q Scott, do you cited the President's zero tolerance for insurance fraud, looting, price gouging. Does he make any allowance for people who have yet to receive aid who are taking things like water or food or shoes to walk among the debris?

MR. McCLELLAN: I think you heard from the President earlier today about his zero tolerance. We understand the need for food and water and supplies of that nature. That's why we have a massive effort underway to continue getting food and water and ice to those who are in need. There are ways for them to get that help. Looting is not the way for them to do it.

Now, I am not calling anyone racist, but it is easy to see why some poeple will be mad after hearing from the president's office that "looting" is an unacceptable way to get stuff people need in such a dire situation. There is absolutely no excuse for McClellan making such a downright stupid statement at times like these.

He's a government official. Should he come out and condone stealing?

That being said, the vast majority of people understand it -- though the way we understand it envisions a vast and endless supply of perishables that can't be coopted by the strong and used as leverage against the weak.

Jeff G,

The fact that he is a government official does not mean he should be out of touch with reality on the ground. He should have simply said that "looting" for neccessities such as food, water, clothes and medicine is not looting, but salvaging or whatever. Is it too much to ask of our government to be in touch with what is really happening instead of spitting our their usual rhetoric? If he honestly believed that "there were ways" for those people to get help then he is a delusional incompetent piece of shit - maybe you're ok with government like that but I am not.

I wondered about that too, Laura. CIA World Factbook puts the size of the UK at 244,820 square kilometers, which the translation thingie calls 94,527 square miles. So it's as near as dammit. Wow.

"He should have simply said that "looting" for neccessities such as food, water, clothes and medicine is not looting"

And if he would have said that he would have been vilified by the same people who are taking him to task now because there is absolutely nothing that the administration can say that's acceptable to the left.

The funny thing is that the harder the left tries to make Bush look incompetent/uncaring/out-of-touch etc. The more insane, petty, out-of-touch, and stupid they look.

Its gotta drive the libs nuts.

Man, Ace, you and gutfeld are thisclose when it comes to most entertaining conservative blogger. I'm always a fan of your rants. They're very cathartic.

McClellan put his foot in it.

I'm pretty sick of the attitude of "well, we all know it goes on and must go on, but we must not speak of it as if it is acceptable"

Sometimes taking studd is not only "excusable' but the moral choice.

In the absence of a coherent disaster plan, folks were on their own to deal with the aftermath of the disaster, each to provide for his and her own security, comfort, and survival. I don't blame Bush for this, or the Feds.

But I do blame McClellan for not acknowleging reality at least discreetly.

I know I would have been kicking in the Rite-aid door to get some Stayfree maxi-pads and tampons, had my go bag ffloated away during the night when the levee broke with no warning siren..... because I am perimenoupausal and bleed like a stuck pig.

I'm supposed to wait...um four or five days, clots streaming down my legs, for tampax to come from official channels?

I think if you had to sit next to me on the evacuation bus, you would appreciate the moral necessity of my theft.

Right. That's it. I'm leaving in case Nameless wears a colostomy bag, too.

Gee, Nameless, I guess you never plan ahead either. Is it always a surprise to you when your period comes? You know, an irregular menstrual cycles usually have underlying, more serious conditions. Maybe you should see a doctor. I say this out of concern.

I'm supposed to wait...um four or five days, clots streaming down my legs, for tampax to come from official channels?

Oh my goodness, whatever did women do before the era of store bought pads and Tampax. Its an effing miracle civilization ever progressed beyond stone knives and bear skins.

Glomming some tampons/pads doesn't mean anything - NOBODY CARES, TRUST ME.

Thinking that your period somehow demonstrates a hardship of biblical proportion is odd though.

I swear to god, people just keep sinking lower and lower. Now they don't even dare steal a bag of tampons unless they've gotten approval from the government.

You know, I have used the emergency rolled-up washcloth.

(As a pad, not a tampon. I mean, ow.)

On the other hand, it is kind of amusing to try and guess which of our little friends is perimenopausal. I guess we have to wait for somebody to blurt "hot flash!" in the middle of a post about football.

There is always a coherent disaster plan. It's called common sense. You have a warning. You should be able to gather what you need to see you through a few days.

The problem with looting is that you don't know the people actually need it. You are assuming they broke into these stores for necessities. And, is it fair for a person who may need some water to hoard water and thereby deny others who may need it more? At least when the authorities commandeer items, it's distributed a bit more fairly. Also, most store owners when they can get to the store, will start handing out food and water for FREE to people or take it to shelters. Who in their right mind is going to go to their store when there are 100 looters demanding water and high definiton televisions or they will crack your honky head?

On the other hand, it is kind of amusing to try and guess which of our little friends is perimenopausal. I guess we have to wait for somebody to blurt "hot flash!" in the middle of a post about football.

Watch it! You, too, can be rolled up and used as a peri-pad.

My new disaster plan is: A. Water. B. Food C. Gun and ammo. I'll threadjack Ace here to ask if anyone has ANY recommendation about a handgun. Type, caliber, what I can expect to pay. I mean, I feel like a teenager trying to buy condoms for the first time.

I don't think ace is allowed to own a handgun. Maybe, you should check out a range and try different ones? Join the NRA. I believe they offer free lessons.

LOL. Michelle Malkin was also praising this kid as a hero, too. I don't know where this twerp is getting his information.

Taking this bus was NOT "looting." I expressed my opinion about "looting for necessities" being wrong in the other thread, but comparing this to that is good ol' apples and oranges logic.

First of all, the guy didn't take this bus with the intention of keeping it. He didn't take it with the intention of helping himself. He didn't break into private property, this WASN'T private property but the property of the city, and his actions didn't contribute to the chaos of the situation.

Instead of driving all the way to Houston, he probably should have just taken the busload of people to safety, but it's doubtful he even thought of that. He'd heard where the people were supposed to go and he took them there. And, the people at the Astrodome weren't being MEAN to refuse them initially because it's not like they can just take in any unauthorized folks who show up.

I don't know if I'd call the guy a HERO, but I sure don't call him a looter.

For home protection, a shotgun, which I don't own and thus can't recommend. For tucking into the waistband of your Levi's for those Superdome excursions, I recommend a .38 revolver. A grubby but perfectly functional ex-police S&W Model 10 is, like, $150. For a nicer or newer handgun, $300-500. For an extended exposition on the topic, ask the question on a more firearms-oriented blog.

I hate revolvers. Semis are the only way to go.

Whenever some old dude whips out a handgun that's been lying neglected under his bed for twenty years and nails a burglar on the first shot, you can bet it's a revolver. Revolvers are mules: ugly, inelegant, absolutely rock solid reliable. Semi's are the racehorses: sleek, beautiful, apt to let you down you if you don't treat them just right.

Though, I have to admit, of my tiny arsenal, my favorite gun is the Makarov. For the heavy, clumsy, cheap, reliable, absolute Sovietness of the silly thing.

In biblical times, ladies had to decamp for a special hut. I'm just saying. Also, I think they made tampons out of sheep.

By "coherent" disaster plan, I specifically mean one in which includes the part where authorities commandeer (preferably before the storm,after giving the owners chits for compensation) dry goods, sundries, water and food, and prepare to distribute them in a rational manner, so that thugs (the strong) don't profit by getting between me (the weak) and my tampons. Or drinking water, or baby formula, etc.

I wanted to make the point that the levee roke in the middle of the night, while many NO's slumbered in their jammies believing sheep may safely graze, as the worst had passed over. I'd like to know why their weren't any warning sirens.
Many people floated out of their homes somewhat unprepared as a result.

Spex,

Lots of viable quality handguns on the market these days. I've found the 9mm glock and beretta 92's to be very unfussy about ammo type and loading - they'll fire almost anything. I've even fired .380's in my Glock loading them one at a time manually.

There are certainly cheaper things around though.

Shotgun is nice but may be too much to handle for some smaller women.

The best thing is something that feels right and you can get hits with. I often carry a "wimpy" .32 Walther PP - because I can get good fast repeat hits with it and its small/compact enough that its not obtrusive. The biggest gun in the world is worthless unless you can control it effectively.

I hate revolvers. Semis are the only way to go.

I've got a semi right now. Schwiiing!

Spex, for go-bag advice which includes guns, you should consult Kim Dutoit.

His top post right now is about that.

I remember reading about all the artillery he had in his go-bags long ago and thinking "who's going to need that much?"

Silly, naive me!

The biggest gun in the world is worthless unless you can control it effectively.

Truer words never spoken! My "bedside" handgun is a .357 magnum snubnose revolver, and that is a mistake I keep meaning to rectify. Yes, it has far more stopping power than a .38, but I'm scared of it. Whenever I've fired .357 ammo with it, the concussion was such I half expected a nosebleed. And that was outdoors, in the open. Call me pussy if thou wilt, but the resultant flinch means my shots go down and to the left of where I intend.

Either a lower caliber (.38, .40 S&W or 9mm for me) or a bigger, heavier gun (yeah, those little lady guns look cool, but the more the metal, the more the metal, not the hand, absorbs the shock).

"Watch it! You, too, can be rolled up and used as a peri-pad."

Haha! Thanks, I needed the laugh. The bit about the sheep was scary though. Ladies of ancient times sure must have been.... strong.

I hate revolvers. Semis are the only way to go.

Megan, the good thing about revolvers is they don't eject the shell casings, which the authorities can use to run balistics. Just something to keep in mind.

Haha! Thanks, I needed the laugh.

You're welcome. He thought I was joking, though. I wasn't.

"Every so often I look at the garbage boneheads like this spew out and wonder if it isn't just the opposite of what we do in places like this.

Amen! Never has this been so evident then during this crisis in NO, watching these idiots do everything in their power, including out and out LYING, just to bash Bush!

Andrea,

A whole sheep would be quite a trick indeed - unless it was one of the BonsaiSheep™ I plan on marketing soon.

No more buying throwaway stuff! - with a BonsaiSheep™ you just rinse the critter out and reuse'em. They don't eat much at all, and when you're not having your period, put'em outside and they'll mow your lawn for free.

Let the miracle of genetic engineering solve two problems at once for you and pick up a BonsaiSheep™ today!

I think someone took a joke a little too seriously. The joke was, what does an elephant use for a tampon? A sheep.

SWeasel,

You are jerking the trigger rather than squeezing it. Point and squeeze.

My bedroom weapon is a 20 gauge shotgun hand loaded with lots of rock salt. When I shoot someone I want them to hurt, not necessarily kill them.

My carrying weapon is a Ruger 44. A little large but a shoulder holster carries it well. Plenty of stopping power.

When I shoot someone I want them to hurt, not necessarily kill them.

What state do you live in?

If she had done even the faintest bit of research, Marcotte would have seen that one of the people on the bus reported that a New Orleans police officer actually approved his taking the bus to get the people out of there.

I said as much on her blog. Dammit I wish people would actually do a smattering of research before they go off half-cocked.

Sue Dohnim - They had to stop, because of toxic flock syndrome.

What state do you live in?

Missouri. I should have extrapolated. I like the shotgun as it is a neighborhood weapon. All you have to do is point it in the general direction and if you're off a little with the aim, it is still effective.

I don't know too many people who wake up out of a deep sleep and are "Dead Eye Dick". So I feel the shotgun gives me a better chance to be effective.

So thats why they called them Wooly Mammoths!

OK, but why salt instead of small shot?

OK, but why salt instead of small shot?

It hurts more and hurts longer, because if you do not get it out, it keeps dissolving saline into the wound.

OK, be patient with me rls, I live in a liberal state and have been soaking in it like Palmolive my whole life.

So you're telling me its better to hurt a robber than to kill a robber?

Because in this blue state, if he lives, he will sue you.
Yes, after invading your home in the middle of the night and getting shot, he will sue you.

And win.

"shooting to wound" is a GUARANTEED lawsuit and loss of everything you hold dear, possibly an arrest for AggAssault as well.

NEVER, EVER, EVER say you wanted to wound them. You are shooting to "stop the attack", period.

Thanks for the reminder of why I love Oklahoma. Anybody that breaks in or tries to break in is fair game here. My buddy shot a burglar in his kitchen a few years back. The police came, asked a couple of questions, packed up the body and that was pretty much it. Not even a call by the DA's office.

.357 forehead shot, not much chance of just wounding the guy that way.

In Florida, not only can we shoot people in our homes, we can beat each other up on the street. We ROCK.

You can beat each other up in the streets? What's that? Some kind of mutual combat clause? I got into it a few years back with some punk and got an A/B charge out of it. Just a misdemeanor, but it shouldn't have been even that. Not my fault he wasn't as tough as his mouth claimed him to be.

We had a guy kill a home invader with a can of Hormel Beef Stew a few years ago. The guy burst into their apartment while the guy was getting ready to make some lunch for his kids. So he chucked the closed can at the guy and hit him in the head.

"You can beat each other up in the streets? What's that? Some kind of mutual combat clause?"

Yep. It was all over the news a while back (the peace creeps were running around shrieking that we'd legalized men beating their wives or some such shit).

In other news, you'll all be glad to know that the subject of the comment section on Pandagon has degenerated to posts on semen and plant sex organs in soup. I love reading what my intellectual and moral betters are talking about.

So, rls, let's review. After a shooting, there should not be a survivor who can testify. If you're going to use lethal force, use force that is lethal. Forget the rock solt. Your shotgun can handle buckshot, or rifled slugs.

Pulling a trigger is a serious decision. If you're going to make that decision, make it for real.

BTW, there are no readily available guns in my house. I'm counting on good locks.

I've always learned that you should never even point a gun at someone unless you're prepared to blow their friggin head off.

As for the story above, in no way does the 2nd amendment guarantee someone's right to bear beef stew. There should be an immediate ban on beef stew everywhere.

Hm. I hate insomnia.

Mostly because I have time to read poorly-written crap like this piece of dog feces from Eleanor "Talking Points" Clift. I'm so glad I got out of journalism - I want no part of a profession where a woman with so little talent and almost no capacity for original thought can climb so far in the field.

But there I go, being grouchy again.

Weasle,

Just load the .357 with ordinary .38's. It'll shoot'em just fine and the heavier mass of the .357 will mute the kick more than a lighter .38 revolver.

No need to obtain new hardware.

If anyone wants gun or cheap outdoors gear advice, shoot me an e-mail. I'm career infantry, and that basically means carrying a rifle and living out of a backpack professionally.

"Take your strawman arguments and feigned outrage and stick them straight up your twat, you stupid hateful little cunt."

I love this phrase so much, I'm going to use it as much as possible, whatever the situation, until my wife makes me stop.

Those Pandagon censors hadn't published my comment about the kid not actually being charged (nor having the prospect of even being charged) at of this AM, at least not that I've found.

Maybe it was because I called her post premature "hyperventilation"?

I love the response over there when you challenge them at all: "Ah, I can't really defend my points with facts, so, ah, I'll just accuse the other side of being too dumb to 'get it.'" Aw, who's a condescending little asshole, yeah, you are sweetie.

I'm actually tempted to encouarge more of this kind of behavior and level of intellect on the left--as the more people hear it, the more they sink into political oblivion. Keep writing, lefty loons.

Corie: That's the same reason I vaguely encourage the moron at work (from Massachusetts, natch) who wears a "Buck Fush" T-shirt. The more moderate voters see the Left acting like children, the more elections they'll lose.

The kid should be arrested for leaving NO with the last functioning set of testicles native to that city.

I just spent the weekend at the Astrodome helping out (you wouldn't believe the number of children who have are lost from their parent - like 350+)...anyway, people helping people - white people taking black families into their homes, black people taking white families into their homes. Strangers giving other strangers money, food clothes, strollers, etc. I was helping out a couple of older kids find some clothes and I had this black lady say to me, "You people are so nice", I thought she was referring to Texans or Houstonians, but then she proceeded, "I never liked white people, but you people have been so nice to us". What do you say to that? People have lost everything!!!!! WHO GIVES A **** WHAT THEIR RACE IS!!!!!!

I just smiled and told her I was glad she was ok. Couldn't help but laugh....and they say the south is racist. What a bunch of bunk! The Big Human Spirit is alive her in Texas. ...and of course, everything is bigger and better in Texas.

As for that kid that "stole" the bus. HE ROCKS! Can't say the same for his mayor.

The kid did what the frickin' mayor was supposed to.

By the way, we call them "cellars" up here.

They call 'em history down on the redneck riviera..

Hey, now that I think of it, did ya notice that the only people in Mississippi who are real happy with the Feds are Haley Barbour and Trent Lott?

I guess the "little people" didn't get herr rove's memo.

They must be tied up doin' other things.

"Brownie, you're doin' a hell of a job!"

It took you two hours to come up with that, coop?

You say you don't care what race I am, but then you accuse me of being racist enough to approve of MLK's death?

Okay, sunshine. Whatever you say.

Tell Senator Byrd I said hello.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Nice try, shmendrik.

What say we let Blacks decide for themselves between Byrd's record on Civil Rights and the party of shrub/strom/jesse and lott as to just who has the best record or having their interests in mind, eh, sport??

They seem to be able to tell who was the klansman and who are the klansmen.

Ya think you'll crack 10 percent of the Black vote again after shrub's Katrina performance?

Dismissed

It took you two hours to come up with that, coop?

------------------------------------------------------

It took shrub five days.

Nice try, shmendrik.

Sure thing, sport.

But you can't change history.

Coop the shlemil,

Don't be such a nebbish. Go back to staring at your pupik and shut that pisk.

I don't know what the hell you two are talking about.

I like to make our trolls feel welcome and coop seems a little more comfortable with Yiddish so I thought I would oblige :)

Ah.

So what do schmendrik, nebbish, shlemil, pupik and pisk mean?

Yiddish to English for your convenience

Hey, I recognize "shnorer" and "golem" from watching The Sopranos.

You know, Coop. You've got some great insults. Some will come in handy during the next flame war, I'm sure.

Really? I thought they were pretty lame.

Especially that "dismissed" shit. As if saying it actually made it so.

Can't wait to see what clever name he comes up with for me. Fuckwad in Texas has been used - but I'll bet he'd have gone there first. He's predictable.

I meant the yiddish stuff. I had no idea what it meant, but it sounds cool.

----------------------------------------------------------

No you can't. Especially recent history.

Reptiles ain't stuck at 10 percent of the Black vote for nothing, shmendrik.

Ya gonna give 'em the armstrong williams treatment and put 'em all on the payroll, schmuck, 'cause they'd have to be meshugah to vote white trash taliban.

Except for the few that hate gays more than they hate the back of the bus, that's all ya got.

As long as you klan boys have developed an interest in Yiddish feel free to sort this one out.

Gai tren zich.

Dismissed

Thank goodness for Google.

In case anyone's wondering, our good buddy Coop has just told us to do something that's anatomically impossible.

Now is Coop a real person, or is this another one of those parodies? It's hard to tell, although the racist undertone feels pretty real. Why do libs hate blacks so much? Considering they've kept them on the plantation for the last 60 years or so you'd think they'd appreciate them more.

Dismissed? Is that what your dad tells you when he done humping you?

It's getting late, you better finish your rant before the library closes.

Hey coop. Forget the Yiddish. Let me lay some Texas on you dude; blow me, you pathetic piece of monkey shit. *

Dismissed.

*h/t to Dave in Texas

My bubby made a kishka
She made it big and fat
I took one look at it and said
I can't eat that!

OOOOOOHHHHH
Mama mama mama
Oh mama mi oh my!

I got a feeling coop likes his 'kishka' big and fat! Oy!

Gai tren zich, schmuck.

Why am I not surprised that you wanna grow up to be a brownshirt, putz?

I'll give ya credit for truth in packaging. At least you're not pretending to be anything more than ignorant white trash.

Just what the world needs, another braindead billy bob digital douchebag outta dallas.

Steers and queers, shmendrik. Steers and queers.

Well, there sure ain't enough brains in neo-nazi nitwit land to solve that riddle so I'll clue ya in that I'm more legit than anything comin' out of the 43rd reich, schmuck.

Libs hate Blacks, eh?

Nice try, shmendrik.

They know that the reptiles have nothin' more in store for them than sharecroppin' and singin' slave songs for shrub and lott to sip mint juleps to while they rock the time away on trent's new porch.

They've seen that movie, putz.

Keep tryin'. They ain't buyin'.

10 percent may just be your high water mark.

The water's startin' to go down, schmuck.

Dismissed

I honestly wish every lib was just like Coop. We'd rule this country for the next thousand years.

Burn your bridges boy. Burn all of them.

Plus, this is just entertaining.

"I honestly wish every lib was just like Coop"

They're not?

Seriously, the dems have launched their offensive even though a credible poll yesterday said only 15% of American's blame Bush for Katrina and its split along party lines that he's handling the situation well or not. Now how smart is that?

I honestly wish every lib was just like Coop. We'd rule this country for the next thousand years.

---------------------------------------------------------------

That's what you said during the 3rd reich, shmendrik.

How'd that turn out for ya?

That's what I thought.

What makes ya think the 43rd's gonna go any better for you sig heil set slime, schmuck?

Gai tren zich.

Dismissed

Now you know he kisses his mom with that mouth, which isn't too bad, but he never stops with the kiss.

I'll sure be happy when Rove gives the signal for the round-up.

He seems to have some kind of Nazi fetish going. Maybe he'd enjoy a little Coop porn? We'll just leave you alone for a minute. Let us know when you're done cleaning up.

------------------------------------------------------------

Yeah, herr rove can always change the subject to gas prices or shrub's handling of the war in Iraq. The public was really giving him high marks for his masterfull handling of those before Katrina.

Yeah, I see your point. They'd better stick to how well he's handled Katrina.

The truth's comin' out. Rove can't stop it. No more 91 percent days. No more milkin' 9/11 for all it's worth. Your boy's incompetent trash and the world knows it.

Nice try, schmuck. He's in the low 40s and droppin'. Enjoy the ride. There just ain't enough of you white trash tailban wacks to get him outta the 40s. The rest of the world knows he's trash.

Dismissed

Dismissed

Oooohhh...a double dismissed.

And lefty talking points galore.

I'm going to get some popcorn and keep enjoying this show.

Sleep tight you sig heil boys.

cedarford: "Take it all Yid!"

coop: "That's my pupik you shmedrick, not my pisk!"

cedarford: "Don't be such a kvetch."

Goodnight, coop.

Opinions varied widely, however, on the response of federal, state and local officials regarding Katrina. Forty-two percent of respondents characterized President Bush's response to the disaster as "bad" or "terrible," while 35 percent said it was "good" or "great."

---------------------------------------------------------

Gee, I know math ain't you white trash taliban types' strong suit but to those of us with more than 6th grade educations, 42 is more than 35.

That 35 sure ain't no 91, schmuck.

That just may be shrub's high water mark.

Enjoy.

Dismissed

Heh. I thought you were going to sleep.

You just couldn't stay away from us, could you?

That's so sweet.

Yeah that 42 over 35 is sweet, shmendrik.

I just loves to share good news with friends.

Sleep tight, sig heil boy.

Dismissed

How can he sleep knowing the Rove army is coming for him?

Coming, get it?

Dismissed

Dang, it looks stupid when I say it too.

Yeah that 42 over 35 is sweet, shmendrik. I just loves to share good news with friends.

Don't be shy.

You like us like us.

Admit it.

Oh, I almost forgot. If you boys get sad, just remember psycho santorum and bar bush haven't taken vows of silence.

Dismissed

psycho santorum

Holy crap, I think I just found a place where Coop and I agree.

I feel so dirty.

Dang, it looks stupid when I say it too.

--------------------------------------------------------

Yeah, but what doesn't.

You can show yourself out.

(As a pad, not a tampon. I mean, ow.)

(lol...) Is this site great or what? Seriously, where else are you gonna get this kinda stuff?

Yeah that 42 over 35 is sweet, shmendrik. I just loves to share good news with friends.

Hey I've got some good news, I just saved a bunch of money on car insurance.

Oh yeah, and I'm not Coop. Who's going to bbe miserable for a long, long time.

Oh, I don't know about that.

I think if you keep providing nazi porn, Coop might just stick around.

Ace, he followed us home. Can we keep him?

At least someone knew what to do with a New Orleans schoolbus. The Mayor sure as hell didn't.

I see the ignorant white trash shrub shills seem to be at a loss for words today.

Gee, ya never let the facts stand in your way before.

58% say your boy's fucked this thing up royally.

They're just not buyin' "you're doin a hell of a job, brownie."

Your boy's scum. The world knows it and rove ain't gonna be able to control the spin or the investigation.

Have a nice day.

Dismissed

Dude, you didn't hear that right. The guy you were listening to on Air America ACTUALLY said,"Fifty Cent say yo boy's fucked this thang up royally."

See? Makes a big difference when you wait for the transcript.

blow me, you pathetic piece of monkey shit

yeah Brew, I never get tired of that line. 101 uses.

I thought I'd try it on for size. You know, practicing for the next flame war! Let me tell you its a nice one alright. Although in this case it was like using a sledgehammer to swat a fly.

As if you digital douche bag.

The white trash taliban is goin' down, shmendrik.

58% and rising say shrub's illegitimate trash dog shit.

Even Mississippi says you're fucked, schmuck. The only people sayin' good things about the feds are hack reptilian politicians like barbour and lott.

Everyone else says Hey, Cheney! Go fuck yourself!

It's gonna be rough weather for you ignorant white trash pieces of shit.

Get used to it you slimy cunts.

Howdy.

There's other threads, you know.

America just ain't interested in becomin' amerika, schmuck.

Your racist slop just ain't sellin'.

Crawl under your fuckin' rocks with strom and jesse and the rest of your klan buddies. Mississippi's just too fuckin' wet to burn anymore, douche bag.

Maybe later. I'm havin' too much fun with dogshit and texas trash douche bag davy here tryin' to sound tough as he watches your boy get measured for an orange jumpsuit.

Besides, I'm watchin' the Red Sox tryin' to sweep the Angels before they have their way with the Yanks this weekend. First things first.

Has anyone lost sight of the fact that the enviro- wackos challenged and halted levee construction earlier this year or last year, because it would "HArm the environment."

Why isn't anyone asking where all the help from hollywood and their mega wealthy news hacks is? They should be out buying 1000's of campers and mobile homes for the newly incumbered, not doing "fund raisers" begging for more of our money to give in their names. The Kennedy compounds could hold a few dozen families each, as could some Beverly Hills mansions. They think they are serving by lending their celebrity and a few thousand dollars here and there. I know bank tellers, hardware employees and auto mechanics giving away maybe the equivelant of 5% of their annual salaries to assist. I would submit to you that Holly weirdos good forego say 39 million of their 40 million annually to help out and scratch out an existence on the remaining 1 million and their investments.

Pony up Hollywood or Shut up!!! You too Oprah!!!

Nice try, douche bag.

Christ, you wacks must really be desperate if you're slingin' this slop.

It's not Hollywood's job to do shrub's job for him, you ignorant white trash cunt.

That's why we pay taxes. Your boy fucked it up and the whole damn world knows it.

Two outta three say shrub fucked it up. His support is now down to you white trash losers.

Let 'em crash in Crawford. Let 'em crash at cheney's new digs, douche bag

Fuck you, schmuck. The 43rd reich is collapsing as we speak.
