While Louisiana prepares for Hurricane Gustav, Dems gloat and guffaw; RNC opening night cancelled; Fowler apologizes; Gustav hits land
Scroll for updates…RNC opening night cancelled…McCain via Bloomberg: “We are facing a great national challenge,” McCain said in remarks sent by video from St. Louis to Republicans gathering in St. Paul, Minnesota, for the nominating convention. “We have to do away with party politics and we have to act as Americans”…Fowler apologizes…Gustav slams into La. coast…
First, please read this e-mail from michellemalkin.com reader/commenter CantCureStupid, who is a member of the Louisiana Army National Guard. She asks for your thoughts and prayers as the people of his state ready for the storm:
Hi Michelle.
I’m a new member to the site and a big fan, and right now I’m experiencing a brief (and rare) moment of downtime. I am a member of the Louisiana Army National Guard, and we are up to our nostrils in preparations for Hurricane Gustav. There is a lot going on right now in south Louisiana, but mostly we are watching this monster bear down on us and hoping for the best. I wanted you to know, as a soldier who also had to suffer through the cluster that was Katrina, that we are 1000% better prepared (God Bless Bobby Jindal!!), and that while hoping for the best, we are completely prepared for the worst and ready to do what needs to be done to ensure the safety of the people of this state.
I am sure, as a fan of your site, that the vast majority of your fantastic commenters are keeping us in their thoughts and prayers. Most of us are very aware of how sick the rest of the nation must be to hear the namby-pamby cry baby stuff that still comes out of the New Orleans area three years after Katrina, but I would ask for prayer and support for my soldiers, who have nothing to do with politics and who show up and serve whenever called upon.
God Bless America and God Bless Louisiana!!!
New Orleans is under mandatory evacuation orders this morning. Here’s a disaster preparedness round-up from Glenn Reynolds. And Weather Nerd and hurricane blogger Brendan Loy is tracking the latest developments.
Per Gov. Bobby Jindal’s order at 4am this morning: “As directed by Governor Jindal, Louisiana State Police will initiate contraflow at 4:00 AM Sunday morning. For the first time in history, the entire Louisiana coastal population will be evacuated due to the impending threat of Hurricane Gustav.”
We know who won’t be praying for their success and safety: tolerant, peaceful liberals wishing the worst on Republicans in Gustav’s path and laughing about the possibility of grave destruction.
Exhibit A: Michael Moore (via Allah).
Exhibit B: Former DNC chair Don Fowler (via redstate diarist Absentee, who caught Fowler and Democrat Rep. John Spratt’s candid, malicious comments on a plane from Denver to Charlotte. Transcript via Ed Morrissey.
The hurricane’s going to hit New Orleans about the time they start. [Chuckle] The timing is — at least it appears now that it’ll be there Monday. That just demonstrates that God’s on our side. [Laughter] … Everything’s cool.
God is not on your side, gloating sleazeballs.
Our Louisiana Army National Guard’s screen name says it all: Can’t Cure Stupid.

When the dems do stuff like this they only reveal their own inhumanity.
They honestly thought this years election was going to be a cake walk, with conservatives being forced to accept between two sets of democrats, while dems put up a community activist/hustler as their nominee….now they’re p#ssed and throwing their cereal around the kitchen over Palin.
(If they weren’t upset, I’d be worried!)
Sarah ‘Cuda Rocks
Nah, I still outrank you, Scrapper – I’m a pretty rank fellow, har har. One of my older bros was/is an electronics geek who assembled an Altair 8080 from a kit in the 70s and I dabbled with that guy a bit. Wasn’t much compared to the what came along in the 80s, but still cool in it’s day with it’s lights and switches.
And I know about feeding those endless lines of BASIC code into a cassette. Did it with Commodore, Radio Shack (TRS-80), Sinclair and a few others that escape memory just now. It really sharpened my algerbraic skills!
I have some of those old PCs in the storage closet. I love “old” technology and still think “Pong” is a great game.
Oh, here’s a link to a pic of an Altair 8080:
Image – Altair 8080
The more I hear Gov Jindal speak the more impressed I am with him and can’t help
contrasting him with Blanco before and during Katrina.
Ray Nagin is telling people that if they don’t evacuate they are on their own. So what else is new? He left everyone on their own the last time. That’s par for the
course for him.
I heard Gov. Jindal last night say he has evacuation plans set and in operation now…as Mayor (numb nut) Nagin is looking for a map, New Oreleans to Dallas, his new home after Katrina.
I hope that republicans use this video to show just what kind of slime bags now permiate the dems. What kind of sick minds are gleeful over the suffering of others simply because it may cause them to gain more power?
Thank you for everything, CCS and take great good care of you and yours, too!
Michelle, just a note before I read the comments – typo I think, you have “She” and “he” both in
These people are pathetic.
Same reason they refused to air the McCain ad about obama/Ayers. Rupert Murdoch is a media liberal who knows how to make money, but will not throw his liberal ideas completely under the bus for a “Fist Full of Dollars”. First control the minds through the media, then destroy serfs with odumbumbo/biden
From The Cleveland Leader:
“Needless to say, the vast majority of the electorate probably won’t take pleasure at a party looking for political gain from a national disaster that has the potential to be deadly for many in its path.”
Major Political Gaffe by Former Chairman of DNC
O.K.purplepeep…You won! You sound just like my husband…he still has the Commodore somewhere, never throws anything out. Now, back on topic, I am becoming more and more impressed by how the republicans are handling this situation and the convention. This is going to show us in a very favorable light. I have to go now…will continue the prayers for everyone in harms way!
Yep, It’s official.. Fox let other people’s comments through, but censored mine because I mentioned Fowler by name no doubt.. They thhink that’s going to keep this from coming out nationally?
Dumb.. They will just be followers.. Again.
Demagog hurricanes…Bad is good…The war is lost…McCain votes 90% of the time with Bush…Bush is wrong 100% of the time, so we can’t afford to hope that 10% will be enough change….etc…etc…etc…
These people have no solutions, Whine about being called a nation of whiners, and will drive us into their Utopia of socialism nomatter what the cost.
I’m glad to see Clevelandleader pick the story up. Unfortunately, the very first line blames Katrina on the Republicans and fails to mention the inept Blanco or Nagin. Not surprised.
Faux News is crap. It’s impossible for a serious person to take Fox seriously. It is full of GOP propaganda and clearly a shill for the neocon wingnut faction. Among cable news networks (in English), only CNN, CNBC, Al-Jazeera and BBC World are available everywhere in Europe. Fox News is not even authorized to broadcast. That’s a good thing because Faux News is only hurting the reputation of our country.
Fox News: We distort. You decide.
So true. It’s also interesting to note so many people here, presented with the chance to appear holier-than-thou (where “thou”=”liberals”), criticizing Dems for not putting aside politics at this moment to pray for those in the path of Gustav. And yet, the number of times I’ve seen on this site a consensus among commenters about the notion that Hurricane Katrina victims were overwhelmingly criminals and drugs and garden variety ne’er do wells undeserving of pity or empathy — along with the implicit suggestion that they somehow deserved their fate — is innumerable. It’s an interesting about-face, and smacks of the same cynical political opportunism of which the Republican party is now being accused.
Absolutely. All conservatives aren’t racist, and this statement shouldn’t be twisted to suggest that the speaker means to imply so. But white supremacists, pretty much as a rule, don’t vote Democrat.
I’m sure someone here will post about how black supremacists vote for their own, with the requisite citation of the number of African-Americans giving their vote to Obama. But that’s not solely about race; if it were, Alan Keyes would have seen the same turnout. There’s a reason that African-Americans, who are overwhelmingly socially conservative, don’t vote Republican. If you don’t quite understand why, just peruse the comments here for a few days.
Milwaukee Mike. …
The cost is in human lives– 1 million plus per year, rape torture and murder in the name of communism.
“Breaking many eggs to make an omelet.”
A friend and I often debate which politicians we think will get the “most special” rings of Hell.
Up to now, we had Teddy K, Kerry and Murtha closest to the epicenter, but I think Mooron, Olberman and those charming newbies, Flowler and Spratt, will be right alongside their brethren.
And for those who don’t believe in evil, I give you exhibits 1 and 2. See above videos.
There were deaths from Gustav in Michael Moore’s Cuba. I didn’t hear anybody on their side say, “That proves that God is on our side,” because of that…
How much did Oberthruster and Moorefat contribute to the restoration of NOLA three years ago?
Will MooreON send financial help to his buddies in Havana, or New Orleans? Don’t hold your breath.
I’ll lay odds that the Earl of Chubby Pomposity is living on borrowed time, healthwise…unless he’s been partaking some of that wonderful socialist healthcare in Cuba.
You are either incredibly naive or willfully ignorant. Maybe you are both.
cantcurestupid, irish rose,
you’re both in my prayers.
No, but perhaps you are. Were the matter solely an issue of race, AAs would have turned out in record numbers for Alan Keyes. They didn’t. There was, you see, the teeny matter of differing political philosophies. Therefore (follow me here) it isn’t just an issue of race, as some here would like to suggest.
And you have my prayers as well..
Be safe.. ~Dan Lee
The people of Louisiana know who was to blame that is why we elected Jindal. Now, why NO re-elected that moron Naqin is beyond me.
I suspect Dante is digging new rings even as we speak.
Seriously are there any decent Dems left ? If you define the part by its’ words and actions , a decent Dem would be immpossble by definition .
To have MM ban Rob would make us look like just another liberal blog. He just needs some practice. Towards the end of his posts he started making seance.
Rob learn to take criticism for what’s it worth, learn from the good and ignore the bad.
Word from my loved ones that they have reached their destination safely, and without incident.
Whew.
This is the first chance I have had to check email and such. We left our home about 75 miles north of New Orleans yesterday at 5:30 am. We are now in Pine Bluff Arkansas. I was wondering how long it would be before some sicko made such a disgusting statement. I knew it was coming. I’m not surprised
Glad to hear it Irish Rose. I am waiting now to hear from my daughter.
Nice comeback. I guess you are willfully ignorant. The fact that you don’t consider Keyes and Obama apples and oranges regarding everything outside of just their political views speaks volumes.
Whatever fits your fallacious narrative, right? Based on your weak argumentative history on this blog, I’m not surprised.
Do you just make up this poppycock as you go along?
get a clue.
Want to see something inspiring?
This should be played at the convention next week. All I can say is WOW and have the tissue ready when you watch it!

Nice vid Bulldogger!
wonder what Odopeys would look like…. lol
the edit machine would break.
McCain/Palin 08′
Keith Overbite makes my skin crawl, the combination of Michael Moore and Overbite together on one clip has the ability to ruin a day.
I’ll get over it but this may require another shower.
I figure it will only be a matter of time before the dems start complaining that Pres. Bush and all the republican governors are doing to much to help the victims this time. There is never any pleasing the bunch of idiots in the democrat party.
Best comment I have read on the video >
I wonder if Don Fowler, former DNC Chairman, is laughing about this.
I wonder if “The Welcoming Committee” was responsible for stomping a NYC policeman into a coma at the RNC in Manhattan back in 2004? If I remember correctly, those perps were just liberal thugs who took Ice T’s lyrics too literally.
Thanks for that wonderful link Bulldogger. I left some good ones on the looking for
pics in bikinis thread.
We know the dems only do things that make them feel good. So what does enjoying
the thought that NO among other areas could get blown away and discombobulate
the GOP say about them? Not very nice people at all ( can’t call them human beings).
My brother has a coffee shop in downtown Minneapolis where many of the conventioneers are staying. He said that yesterday and today, there was very little business, but the area around his shop was full of unwashed, stinky, maggoty nutcases protesting everything. Those are his descriptions, not mine. He is really disgusted.
Ok the RNC is suspending the first night of the convention (my hotel room is $325 night single) how is that going to help the Gulf?
Oh well there are open bars all over the city. Not that I indulge. But Special Interest groups and Lobbyist do serve a purpose such as scotch and soda. But you can not get peanuts at a Republican function anymore, they just won’t do it.
Who do black supremacist typically vote for moron?
Nice to see you are still spewing your typical black (everything is racist) views. Get a clue, you twit.
This is just STUPID! Life does not stop in the rest of America because a hurricane makes landfall somewhere! Is this to be the new “polically correct” norm from now on? All baseball, football, and other sports events, all movies, all weddings, all birthday parties are to be cancelled in Maryland because a tornado touches down in Kansas? An earthquake in California requires the cancellation of all activites in Texas out of respect for the victims?
I don’t recall baseball games being cancelled after Hurricane Andrew devastated my area of South Florida. I want compensation for the insults of the rest of the nation for not stopping their lives because we got nailed. I don’t recall basketball being cancelled for the duration after the Nortridge earthquake.
What the H*LL is wrong with us? Because the Democrats are behaving like the crass morons they are the rest of us have to join in the parade?
This is just plain STUPID.
The economic hit my city (Minneapolis) is going to take is enormous! The hotels, the restaurants…! It does seem a bit crass, however, to celebrate when New Orleans and other cities are being hit so hard. I don’t know what the answer is at this point, except perhaps they could just have the convention as planned, just tone it down. We are going to take criticism no matter what we do. If we are enthusiastic about our candidates, the dark side will say we are typical republicans, no sympathy for the plight of the hurricane victims. This is a really tough call!
Here’s an election ad the RNC will never run.
[A slide show of pictures of the citizens of the Gulf Coast fleeing the on-coming hurricane, slowly dissolving to a slide show of Democratic ‘luminaries such as Michael Moore, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Howard Dean, etc.]
[Narration starts] ‘When Gustav came and the citizens of the Gulf Coast had to leave their homes and their livelihoods for their safety, what did they get from the Democratic Party? Did they get empathy; did they get prayers for their well-being and safety?
They got condescension instead of empathy. Instead of prayers they got mean-sprinted partisan attacks on the Republican Party, the same old, tired partisan attacks which have hamstrung Republican leadership in Washington.’
‘If this is all the Democratic Party can show to the citizens of the United Sates in the face of a natural disaster, what will they show the American public as leaders in the White House?’
‘Think about this when you vote in November.’
[Fade to]
McCain for President, 2008
To look at this issue with a critical eye, just let me say that while their idiological brothers in Cuba were enduring the hardships of Hurricane Gustav, some even dying, the Democrats “partied hardy” at their convention. There, as far as I am aware, was NO mention of postponing their event.
While it is true that the Cuban’s are not US citizens, we DO have a military base there, there are currently WOT prisoners held there, and since Obamatron claims to be a citizen of the world, where was his concern for his idiological brethren, and the military personnel he desires to command?
Ex-expat…I would LOVE to see that ad! It would be a really good one. But I agree, it won’t be run. And why? Because they would fear the accusation that McCain is using the disaster for political gain. It is sad that we can’t tell it like it is these days.
This from a guy who was scolded for telling African Americans to “go back to Africa.” Please. You, by far, represent one of the most obvious examples of the commenters I was talking about. I don’t believe “everything is racist” — I have far too many close, loving relationships with people who happen to be white (and Asian and Latino and Middle Eastern), including family members — to possibly believe that. You, on the other hand, I’m pretty sure about.
And if the ability to post a coherent comment in your first language is any measure of who is or is not a “moron,” you fall squarely on the is side.
God is on THEIR side? I don’t think God particularly cares about political parties. But I guarantee you he is not on the side of gay marriage or child-killing (aka abortion). (both of which are heavily promoted by democrats)
Oh come on NYK, The obama campaign has been calling people who disagree with them racist for months. Just in a sly sort of way. “well I don’t look like the presidents on the collar bills” please. It is clear that blacks are voting for Obama for 2 reasons
1: He is black.
2: He is a democrat.
In that order of importance.
We should aim Mikey’s big mouth at Gustov…all of his hot air may stop the storm in its’ tracks.
I’m sorry but I couldn’t even put up with half of that first video! Overbite and Moorecakeplease just make me sick to my stomach! Speaking of “Let them eat cake” mr. moore (notice I purposely did not capitalise that, he doesn’t deserve it!) looks like he has had more then his own share of cake! Let me just add, (it’s probably already been covered with 232 previous posts) that the governor and mayor were both democrats and THEY should have taken the first actions! How many busses were left underwater because Mr. “Chocolate City” didn’t bother to get them out and start picking people up? What a bunch of tools!
Changing the subject slightly to the actual topic of the videos, I can’t see how this hurts the Republicans. All levels of government get a chance to redeem their showing from Katrina (thank God for Bobby Jindal) and it gives McCain a chance to act presidential, which plays to people of thought far better than Obama acting like a Greco-Roman rockstar in his convention.
I’m a firm believer in substance outweighing style, and despite the MSM’s best efforts, this could play out showing the true difference between the two candidates. Now all McCain has to do is handle it right….this is his chance to win the election.
Thanks for telling me who I am and what I believe, but you didn’t answer the question, my typical black American citizen.
Who do black supremacists like barry obama hussein vote for?
Speaking of unwashed, stinky, maggoty……that video makes my eyes hurt and I
think it did something to my contacts.
Dems don’t have to be pc..they made the rules and apparently that allows them to break them…besides they Couldn’t stop celebrating the Obamamessiah! No
mere hurricane anywhere could stop the adulation for The One.
Kind of reminds me of an old Andy Griffith show where Andy had to judge a
beauty contest. The mayor is busy clapping and clapping for his daughter and
when he is asked to stop he wants to know how you can stop such a spontaneous
outpouring of support.
Same thing for BO. He didn’t say anything of substance but everyone there acted
like it was the Second Coming.
I believe the RNC did the right thing. Can you imagine the uproar if they didn’t cancel the first day? The Obamabots and MSM would be brutal. The hurricane looks like it might not hit New Orleans and is moving toward unpopulated areas. Everyone keep praying!
Oh my gosh, TXRose, you didn’t have your contacts in when you watched the video! They could melt to your eyeballs! Everyone knows you need to take them out before watching anything on CNN or MSNBC! I hope you will be o.k!
So let me get this strraight. From now on any time a storm threatens New Orleans life in America comes to a halt. Better get the word out to MLB because they have 11 games scheduled for tomorrow. They need to cancel those games or the press is going to say bad things about their callousness.
Note to John McCain: This is not going to get the Dems and their idiots in the press to like us or say nice things about us.
McCain is an idiot. If Obama were not a Marxist I’d stay home, Palin and all. But unfortunately I have to vote for McCain to help stop Obama.
Thanks for jacking the thread Rob. Now will someone show the 12 year old where the swing set is?
Nanny, nanny, boo-boo in 3…2…1
As a Louisiana resident who’s pretty much glued to the tv and internet for the next 24 hours watching the doom and gloom inch forward, I don’t have a problem with people celebrating and looking ahead to the future. Right now my focus is on the hurricane because it impacts me and my friends and family directly. But I realize that life goes on for everyone else and we need people who will continue to celebrate all the good that goes on in spite of others’ tragedy. It gives people like me hope that even when things are tough, they won’t always be that way.
There’s plenty of people who are focused on Louisiana right now, those who don’t have a direct personal interest in the situation need to focus their energies on other aspects of our country’s future. We know you’re thinking about us, now go on and make sure there’s something else out there to continue to give us hope and a positive outlook.
Bobby Jindal press conference on Fox
Wow..talk about a document dump.
95% evacuation.
Nice apology , Fo
wler uhhh Fowlest ? The Dems are not even from this planet anymore .“One doesn’t anticipate that one’s private conversation will be surreptitiously taped by some right-wing nutcase,” said Fowler. “But that’s the nature of what we’re dealing with
And hes’ trying to pass it off with that Fallwell angle ? Thats not even passable as bs from John Lovitz liar charactor.
Keep it all up Dems ….you are in for such a surprise in November !
W#TH happened there? preveiw did not work…
Can it be? Government behaving responsibly and proactively! The heck with John McCain. Bobby Jindal does seem to be ready and right now! Dump McCain/Palin and go for Jindal/Palin in 2008!
And I will be praying for all those folks in Louisiana and especially the first responders. It takes guts to run into a burning building and a building hurricane.
Nice apology , Fowler uhhh Fowlest ? The Dems are not even from this planet anymore .
“One doesn’t anticipate that one’s private conversation will be surreptitiously taped by some right-wing nutcase,” said Fowler. “But that’s the nature of what we’re dealing with

Olbermann and Moore! Can you imagine a greater “black hole” of ignorance and arrogance! If they ever got in the same room the resulting singularity might well spell the end of the universe.
Olbermann and Moore! Can you imagine a greater “black hole” of ignorance and arrogance! If they ever got in the same room the resulting singularity might well spell the end of the universe.
So I guess since their Presidential candidate sees dead people that also means Democrats who make stupid statements, “in private”, can blame dead people for that too.
fowlers statement after the non apology apology….
and someone earlier called what he’d say…
“if this offended anyone”
Then on to say…
Fowler=piece of garbage.
I know we are blasting Fowler for his remark. However, I am actually seeing his side of this a bit. First of all, it was a private conversation. Secondly, he was taking a jab at Jerry Falwell’s statement that Katrina was a punishment from God..or was it some other disaster…I don’t remember! Anyway, if he said it in that context, I can see that he was trying to be funny, even though he wasn’t! Never thought I would defend a crazy liberal, but trying to be “fair and balanced”. On the other hand, there is no excuse for Oberdope and Moosey Moore saying what they did. They are both beyond contempt.
Some? Like who?
Career politicians are so hard to believe. What Falwell said was nearly seven years ago. I’m not buying Fowler’s’ excuse. He’s just another low-rent political hack.
Fowler has apologized, adding it was a mistake, “And one that I clearly don’t believe.”
Yeah, right. Clarification: I got caught.
Then he added, “One doesn’t anticipate that one’s private conversation will be surreptitiously taped by some right wing nutcase, but that’s the nature of what we’re dealing with.”
Say what? What an A$$.
CNN’s Rick Sanchez is such a tool. Calling on Bob barr to admit that McCain was a fool not to ask Jindal to be his VP (Jindal refused early on). He goes on to ask “Why didn’t the Fed govt fix all the levies?” What an idiot this guy is. How cynical and partisan is it for CNN to use Bob Barr as a foil to criticize the RNC during this unfolding tragedy? And the left goes hysterical because Fox news even exists. Can’t have one counterpoint voice can they?
Obama’s trying to throw together a few volunteers to ‘help’ the hurricane victims.
Doesn’t want to be left off the compassion bus.
Must’ve been told it’s the stylish thing to do today.
These people are truly sick. Hoping a city may get destroyed, before it even recovers fully so a political party will not win is beyond repulsive.
I started watching ober-ass but that man is such a piece of crap that I couldn’t get past him to watch the other piece of crap.
What he really said was,
I am sorry I got caught and I think anyone to the right of mao is a nutcase”
End of translation.
True character is revealed in a crisis or when a person thinks no one else is around to hold them accountable. Fowler, the DNC and a number of left wing nut jobs have revealed their underbelly and it smells pretty bad. Fowler is less of a man when he has to evoke the mistake of a deceased person (who apologized) to try and mitigate his own moral corrupt failures.
I really would like to believe that wasn’t what it sounded like, but know that it
was. The Jerry Falwell thing was an excuse to cover up what was said because
he got caught. ” Oh well, I’ll lay it back on Falwell and that will shut the
conservatives up.” Didn’t work. Anytime you are talking in public, whether
you or shouting or whispering, I don’t see an expectation of privacy or you
wouldn’t be talking in public. Sleazes all.
should have been are instead of or
I’ve been bouncing around from site to site (while watching Fox for updates), so haven’t read all the other comments yet, but I just want to let CantCureStupid, and everyone else in harm’s way down on the Gulf Coast, that you are in my prayers.
Dressing for church this morning, I decided to wear the Blue Roof pin made by Lisana’s Glass House in Louisiana that the teens from our church sold as a fund raiser for one of the two summer missions trips they did in New Orleans. We all hope and pray that there will be far less need for those blue tarps this time around, but most of all, we pray that everyone is safe.

Irish Rose, I read your posts about having family in harm’s way; glad to hear they made it to a safe place. Please God that all do likewise.
Kathleen Blanco is on Fox with (guess who!) Geraldo, claiming credit for everything that is going right this time.
She did admit that the Feds were not in the loop last time. Hmmm, gee I wonder whose fault that was?
Geraldo is asking if she is bitter she was blamed for the failure of her admin during Katrina. At least she is not whining that she was blamed incorrectly. She is taking credit for fixing everything, and claiming credit for this disaster going correctly.
She is not admitting it was her fault and Mayor Nagin that caused the problems, but at least she is not as whiney as Geraldo.
That was about as much an apology as Dana Jacobson gave for her F Jesus comment.
He basically used Falwell’s words for an excuse to act like a buffoon..
Apology not accepted as far as I’m concerned. At least until we get an excuse free one..
Are you serious? I missed it.

Katrina, you B****, come back and finish the job for which my car is warming the globe! A category 8 should do it.
I dontated money and clothes to NOLA after Katrina hit; now I’m ashamed that I did, but at least I have room in my closet for a new gun safe.
Yeah, I know they only go up to 5, but I want the job done).
Where was all the outrage when TMoney called for the destruction of New Orleans? As I recall, there was not a single word of condemnation from anyone on this site.
Mark, Blanco was on Fox earlier today too (I forget with whom); apparently Bobby Jindal was too busy doing his job to have a tête-a-tête with Geraldo.
Agreed.
Hey les, if someone said that, it was wrong.. It doesn’t matter who says it. It’s not funny..
