Yet another completely and totally specious and disingenuous comparison.

Not so. If Mary Jo Kopechne had driven herself that night, she would probably be alive to comment on Katrina...

You want to use every excuse to remind people of Bush's perceived "crimes", so deal with it when the shoe is on the other foot.

Brownie, you're doing a heck of a job.
-- Dubya's comment to FEMA Director Michael Brown, who presided over what was arguably the worst ever performance by FEMA in an emergency situation, Mobile, Alabama, Sep. 2, 2005

I don't think anyone anticipated the breach of the levees.
-- Dubya's expert opinion on New Orleans doesn't jibe with reality, or FEMA assessments, or media accounts, or common sense, Good Morning America, Sep. 1, 2005

The good news is -- and it's hard for some to see it now -- that out of this chaos is going to come a fantastic Gulf Coast, like it was before. Out of the rubbles of Trent Lott's house -- he's lost his entire house -- there's going to be a fantastic house. And I'm looking forward to sitting on the porch.
-- Dubya pep talks the residents of the hurricane-ravaged Gulf Coast as only he can, Mobile, Alabama, Sep. 2, 2005

How? Seems to me, that rat left the sinking ship over 30 years ago. Pot, Meet Kettle.

Except in Kennedy's case, it is not perceived.

Why? This is about Kennedy's quote, not Bush's. You can blog on Bush any time you want.

First of all, they are not "perceived". If you refuse to see them, shame on you.

Secondly, why wait till it doesn't matter anymore? That's ridiculous.

And finally, guy opened the debate about relevant quotes. I felt comparing a Kennedy quote of that incident is specious. And, it is. The comparison has absolutely nothing to do with Katrina. It's disingenuous.

But, your title says "Quotes on Katrina". It didn't say "Kennedy Quotes on Katrina. I thought you were inviting additional quotes, particularly because you used the plural "quotes", and you only listed one. So, I added a few more.

It already doesn't in case you haven't figured that out yet.

It matters now, whether you admit it or not.

They are "perceived" because you can never provide proof.

And just "how" do you figure that? Most especially if you can not provide proof of these "percieved" wrongs. What do you think you're going to impeach him or put him on trial for something? Good Luck. That's been tried and it failed. So following that statement it does not matter now.

You wouldn't know proof if it hit you upside da head.

Oops!! It did hit you upside da head.

You didn't recognize it.

Ya see. I was right.

Neither did anyone else. I notice that you did not address the last part of my reply. What's the matter don't have an answer?

You want a response. You already know it. But, I'll repeat it, anyway. You are aware that unless congress flips to the dems, impeachment is impossible. However, what I'd prefer is for the lying bastards running this country to be brought up on criminal charges. they lied, cheated, and stole, and suckers like you are buying it all hook, line, and sinker. Just because you don't believe it, doesn't negate the reality. War crimes, I think, would be a good place to start.

I read somewhere on the internet, I'd love to find the link, that Europeans are now calling bush, the Apocolypse President. He builds, or is responsible for apocolyptic events wherever he goes.
