Political Games - Where the fuck’s the reset button?

So I’m sitting here with tears on my face reading story after story after story after story after story about the horrors going on in New Orleans at the moment… and then I’m reading all these stories about the Bush Assministration and some conservatives being absolute fucktards. Even I can’t believe what’s being said and done by these heartless bastards. What the hell is wrong with you people?!

Just moments ago at the Ferragamo on 5th Avenue, Condoleeza Rice was seen spending several thousands of dollars on some nice, new shoes (we’ve confirmed this, so her new heels will surely get coverage from the WaPo’s Robin Givhan). A fellow shopper, unable to fathom the absurdity of Rice’s timing, went up to the Secretary and reportedly shouted, “How dare you shop for shoes while thousands are dying and homeless!� Never one to have her fashion choices questioned, Rice had security PHYSICALLY REMOVE the woman.

Angry Lady, whoever you are, we love you. You are a true American, and we’ll go shoe shopping with you anytime.

Again, Please Donate!!

UPDATE: Oh, and by the way… multiple nations have offered aid to the U.S., but Bush has refused it. What a fucking moron.

SECOND UPDATE: This is heartwrenching.

“Why aren’t they helping us? We are the forgotten,” said Rachel Carey, 23, a clerk at Charity Hospital, tending to her 4-year-old daughter.

“We have individuals who are getting raped, we have individuals who are getting beaten,” Compass said. “Tourists are walking in that direction and they are getting preyed upon.”

. . . “A lot of people weren’t able to evacuate,” said John Murray, 52. “It’s like they’re punishing us for not being able to evacuate.”

“All I want to say to Mayor Ray Nagin is thank you for helping us,” Yolanda McZeal, 43, said calmly, sarcastically and bitterly. “Governor Blanco, thank you for helping us. President Bush, thank you for helping us.” [Emphasis Mine]

Thanks a lot, political leaders. Way to be total abject failures. You’re not forgotten, people of New Orleans; the people of America remember you, the people of America [and the whole world] care about you, and we’re trying to do the best damn job we can. It’s our indifferent, heartless, elitist, inept political leadership that wants to forget you. We won’t let them.

THIRD UPDATE: Wow, these assholes really are oblivious aren’t they?

Robert Siegel: But Mr. Secretary when you say we shouldn’t listen to rumors. These are things coming from reporters who have not only covered many many other hurricanes, they’ve covered wars and refugee camps. These aren’t rumors, they are saying there are thousands of people there.

[Homeland “Security” Secretary] Chertoff: I would be–I have not heard a report of thousands of people in the convention center who don’t have food and water.

Really? You fucking jackass. Impeach them all, now! Bush should not be president anymore. For God’s sake you could find reports about people without food and water on MY blog, let alone the real blogs on the internets. Fucktards. I don’t believe in a hell [certainly not one where one suffers eternally], but if there is one they’re gonna be in it for a long ass fucking time. Cockbiting fucktards.

FOURTH UPDATE: Things just keep getting worse:

[A]rmed thugs have taken control of the secondary makeshift shelter at the convention center. Superintendent Compass said that the thugs repelled eight squads of 11 officers each he had sent to secure the place and that rapes and assaults were occurring unimpeded in the neighboring streets as criminals “preyed upon” passers-by, including stranded tourists.

Mr. Compass said the federal government had taken too long to send in the thousands of troops - as well as the supplies, fuel, vehicles, water and food - needed to stabilize his now “very, very tenuous” city.

Col. Terry Ebbert, director of homeland security for New Orleans, concurred and he was particularly pungent in his criticism. Asserting that the whole recovery operation had been “carried on the backs of the little guys for four goddamn days,” he said “the rest of the goddamn nation can’t get us any resources for security.”

“We are like little birds with our mouths open and you don’t have to be very smart to know where to drop the worm,” Colonel Ebbert said. “It’s criminal within the confines of the United States that within one hour of the hurricane they weren’t force-feeding us. It’s like FEMA has never been to a hurricane.”

I’m sorry Col. Ebbert. My government stopped being accountable to me in March 2003. Otherwise I’d have had them there 10 minutes after the hurricane was gone. I’m sorry. Which is more than I can say for Mr. George Fucktard Bush.

FIFTH UPDATE: Looks like President Stupid realized that international aid might not be so bad after all. Yeh, we’ve been getting shitloads of aid offers from around the world, but were initially not accepting them. So any fucking wingnut who bitches about the world being hypocrites and not helping us in our time of need, sit down and shut the fuck up, because you’re the god-damn hypocrites who supported our fucktard of a president when he offered barely ANYTHING after the tsunami. The world is helping us, despite the pricks we’ve been to them. Shocking.

SIXTH UPDATE: President Fucktard said today that so far the rescue and relief efforts have been “unacceptable”. Well no shit, really?! This is Day 5 you jackass! Want to know why it’s unacceptable? Because people have predicted this exact catastrophe for more than 4 years, you had 2 days advance notice that the storm would hit New Orleans, and you did fucking nothing. You delivered a cake and played your guitar. Fuck you. You are an incompetent moron, and the rest of your uncaring assministration, who always gets credit for being “so intelligent” [a common wingnut argument: sure, Bush isn’t smart, but he surrounds himself with smart people!], is either (a.) waaaay over-rated in the smarts department, or worse, (b.), a bunch of apathetic nonchalant fuckjobs. Fuck you.
