Bush

että mies, jonka syntymäpäivänä aurinkokin pysähtyy tunniksi pelkästä kunnioituksesta, on viisaampi. Olen iloinen että joku muukin on nähnyt hänen suuruutensa.

mita sa oikeen kuvittelet. luuletsa tosiaan etta bushilla on tarpeeks alykkyys osamaaraa teha eroilmotus.

Ei voi noin vain erota mistään päähänpistosta, Amerikan kansa on hänet valinnut johdattamaan maailman onnellisempiin aikoihin ja tämä velvollisuus hänen on tinkimättä täytettävä, enkä epäile etteikö George myöskin niin tee.

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,

Michael Moore
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
