Kanye West's Torrent of Criticism, Live on NBC
Kanye West's Torrent of Criticism, Live on NBC
This is via Boing Boing (and by the way you guys should go there and read some of the stories...), but I think this particular story points up what the 'buzz' is about right now in terms of how the Bush administration has reacted to this crisis (which would be like a bunch of fucking jack-asses). In fact the president should be forced to resign. If he can't handle a domestic emergency he shouldn't be president. If this isn't a crime, I don't know what is....

I think one of the most heart-breaking moments for me was on 'Meet the Press' (again those rascals at NBC) where the President Of Jefferson Parish in Louisiana started crying because his mother (who was stuck in a nursing home) drown and there was nothing he could do to save her - because 'No one is coming to save us!' I had to leave the room crying.
The other thing that upset me was the interview (again on NBC) with the Mayor of Louisiana where he made some comment about 'America's treatment of Americans' during this disaster... LOOK BUDDY - your saving grace here HAS been other Americans - not your friggin' government and certainly not F.E.M.A. it's been local stations around the country who have set up phone lines - it's been WallMart (Goddess help me for saying so) - it's been the local Red Cross - so don't you dare accuse other Americans of turning their collective backs on you people down there. I sure the hell haven't. Now George Bush, the Director of F.E.M.A., those are the people you need to lynch. NOT your fellow countrymen.
