GEEE DUBBLYA vs THE BLOW JOB

Well, as the now former head of FEMA has been laterally displaced and some sense of order is starting to regenerate in New Orleans, its time to inspect the real issue: Blow Jobs.

Seems to me that a large number of people, as a result of government negligence, were extensively and insensitively relegated to "refugee" status and subsequently ignored, neglected, and/or dismissed. People died unnecessarily. Innocent, poor Americans. I don't believe I have been as moved and as deeply disturbed by an American injustice in 30 years.

Now just a few years ago I remember a country deeply divided and on the verge of impeaching its president. The moral outrage was clearly expressed daily by the press, pundits, and opposing party leaders. A Special Prosecutor was selected to investigate the heinous crime and although the accused was never responsible, or even accused, of the demise of a single human being, the prospect of a married man receiving oral sex from a decidedly consenting single female partner was enough to send the country into an uproar.

Fast Forward back to August 2005:

Geeee Dubblya Vacation Time - estimated at approx. 20% of his time in the White House (for the math-impaired that would average more than 72 DAYS PER YEAR - pretty comfy for a man on whose watch there's a failed war which he's waging costing 100's of billions, plus runaway gas prices at the pumps plus an impending heating oil price spike as winter approaches).
Category 5 hurricane barreling for the coast.
Superdome's and N.O. Convention Center's incomprehensibly being ignored.
Death.
After day 2 of the Katrina debacle's unfolding, returns to Washington from vacation to "assess damage" - in other words, starts to set the "spin" cycle to the fabricate setting in order to clear his reponsibility/accountability.

These are not the actions of a man determined to aid and assist desperate and destitute families. Good people - real people, flesh and blood, dying people - black people.

I believe that these omissions of conscience, accomplishment, and decisiveness are conspicuously more indifferent to the plight of America's desperate than a president acquiring a blow job. I don't condone the former president's behavior, I merely call for the same obligation to bring to light and to justice, and in the same unrelenting manner, the callous behavior of a president whose personal indulgences outweigh his devotion to the sacred duty of protecting the lives of Americans everywhere, and I mean everywhere.


Addendum - A lot's been said in regard to the possible response there would have been had the events of Katrina taken place in a white middle class area.
I just wonder what the president's reaction time might have been had one of his investments, say, an oil field, been at stake in the Louisiana region. Would he have been on the phone with someone to secure the site? to batten down the hatches? to make certain that his investment was secure? I dont believe he would have had to WAIT for a call from his say, foreman to ask him what should be done.

The sad part of this whole story is that the president was so removed from the reality of his responsibilities, that he didnt even realize the human investment that these Americans were, and are. But that's his legacy now.

What a great post! It really is hard to say how Bush would have handled the situation differently had it happened elsewhere. But your blowjob comparision hit the nail on the head. People in this country are so completely disillusioned. These ideas of what is moral and immoral needs to go. I really really really hope that the American people (aka red state people) take their blinders off and really see the coruption that is taking place in their government.

How interesting to note that on the day you posted this entry, I was still exiled in Alabama. Feeling like a stranger in a strange land.I had been watching cable news for days like some kind of strung out addict. I watched my beloved generational hometown just die as the talking heads rambled on and on and on. In my mind, no words were even necessary.

The rage, anger, heart breaking sadness was beyond anything I had experienced up to that point in my life. In the midst of that cauldron of emotion, I also thought, felt and KNEW that if it had been happening almost ANYWHERE else (West Palm Beach or Anytown,TX or any place that MATTERED) the help would have arrived in quick time. For crying out loud, the US got aid to the Tsunami victims in 48 hours!!!!!!

I hang my head in shame with the knowledge that I actually voted for that sorry excuse for a president!!

You nailed it! Every single thing that you said is true. Actually that, plus a whole lot more!!!
