Dear Mr. Bush:

Any idea where all our helicopters are? It's Day 5 of Hurricane Katrina and thousands remain stranded in New Orleans and need to be airlifted. Where on earth could you have misplaced all our military choppers? Do you need help finding them? I once lost my car in a Sears parking lot. Man, was that a drag.

Also, any idea where all our national guard soldiers are? We could really use them right now for the type of thing they signed up to do like helping with national disasters. How come they weren't there to begin with?

Last Thursday I was in south Florida and sat outside while the eye of Hurricane Katrina passed over my head. It was only a Category 1 then but it was pretty nasty. Eleven people died and, as of today, there were still homes without power. That night the weatherman said this storm was on its way to New Orleans. That was Thursday! Did anybody tell you? I know you didn't want to interrupt your vacation and I know how you don't like to get bad news. Plus, you had fundraisers to go to and mothers of dead soldiers to ignore and smear. You sure showed her!

I especially like how, the day after the hurricane, instead of flying to Louisiana, you flew to San Diego to party with your business peeps. Don't let people criticize you for this -- after all, the hurricane was over and what the heck could you do, put your finger in the dike?

And don't listen to those who, in the coming days, will reveal how you specifically reduced the Army Corps of Engineers' budget for New Orleans this summer for the third year in a row. You just tell them that even if you hadn't cut the money to fix those levees, there weren't going to be any Army engineers to fix them anyway because you had a much more important construction job for them -- BUILDING DEMOCRACY IN IRAQ!

On Day 3, when you finally left your vacation home, I have to say I was moved by how you had your Air Force One pilot descend from the clouds as you flew over New Orleans so you could catch a quick look of the disaster. Hey, I know you couldn't stop and grab a bullhorn and stand on some rubble and act like a commander in chief. Been there done that.

There will be those who will try to politicize this tragedy and try to use it against you. Just have your people keep pointing that out. Respond to nothing. Even those pesky scientists who predicted this would happen because the water in the Gulf of Mexico is getting hotter and hotter making a storm like this inevitable. Ignore them and all their global warming Chicken Littles. There is nothing unusual about a hurricane that was so wide it would be like having one F-4 tornado that stretched from New York to Cleveland.

No, Mr. Bush, you just stay the course. It's not your fault that 30 percent of New Orleans lives in poverty or that tens of thousands had no transportation to get out of town. C'mon, they're black! I mean, it's not like this happened to Kennebunkport. Can you imagine leaving white people on their roofs for five days? Don't make me laugh! Race has nothing -- NOTHING -- to do with this!

You hang in there, Mr. Bush. Just try to find a few of our Army helicopters and send them there. Pretend the people of New Orleans and the Gulf Coast are near Tikrit.

Yours,

P.S. That annoying mother, Cindy Sheehan, is no longer at your ranch. She and dozens of other relatives of the Iraqi War dead are now driving across the country, stopping in many cities along the way. Maybe you can catch up with them before they get to DC on September 21st.

Unfortunately the helicopters have finally arrived, but not before GW let as many black people as possible die before public outrage became to much. Makes you proud to be a Republican, don't it?

[nicholasstanko]

glad that i'm not.

Sarcasm is lost on the stupid. LOL, that was a joke.

Nich he's jabbing at you.

He said unfortunately the helicopters arrived, he's an angry republican and like most if not all, don't like to be criticized for ANYTHING!!!

[nicholasstanko]

ooooooohhhhhhh. right on



lets roll.

I guess I'll have to trow my two cents in.

The Army Corps. of Engineers wanted 100 billion dollars to make the levi's Cat 5 ready.

Their budget huge to begin with, in a time of every buck counts, I dont see them shelling out all that money.

More or less the only people not to have left where the ones that had nowhere to go or no way to get there. The poor.

To me it boiled down pretty fast, the ones that could aford insurance would be paid, the ones that couldnt but smart enough to get together will get something in a form of relief(maybe), and the rest , well, seems they get shafted.

They are already displaced as far as San Antonio, and probably even further west. These people had no money to get there, have no money to get back, and no posseions.

These people havent been releived I fear, they have been dumped.

They have already said it will be years before the city can be lived in again, by then, these people will have found a way to survive where they ended up.

After years, why then rebuild?

Who is going to live there?

Who would move back after setting up a life for years somewhere else?

New Orleans is lost, the releif didnt come because they want to drive every last person out of that city. They did the same thing in Bagdad it the way they didnt assist the iraqi citizens, when they killed their power and water supplies. They wanted those people out of that city as well didnt they?

I am not saying this is any thing but Mother Nature, but you cannot control a river like the Missisipi, New Orleans is built on a delta, it was only a matter of time before this happened.

They just want every one to get the idea not to come back.

They are already saying how they will have the city back, but it doesnt make sense. Not to mention that pesky budget for the Army Corp of Engineers needed to be redirected.

Peace.

[andruejaysin]

The city will come back, it's a major port, and most of the big buildings downtown are probably fixable. But you're right, most of the people won't be coming back. They'll fix (and hopefully improve) the levees, they don't care what it costs, they'll just leave the bill for the next generation.

where are all the helos? what the fuck you ignorant piece of ass...who the fuck were rescuing all the douchebags who refused to evacuate from their fucking rooftops? sure as hell wasnt a boat pulling all those people out of that water now was it. Since day one i saw so many hueys/blackhawks/pavehawks and coast guard helos plucking asshats out of the water...for this asshole to sit here and whine about not seeing any helos is just a bullshit way to seek attention.
