Rumsfeld on looters:
Edited on Wed Aug-31-05 01:01 PM by tgnyc
"They're showing the same picture of the same guy with the same loaf of bread over and over again."

"That's what happens in a free society, people loot."

"Freedom's untidy, and free people are free to make mistakes and commit crimes and do bad things."

"...one can understand the pent-up feelings that may result from decades of repression..."

"Stuff happens."

1. I wondered when someone from the Bush Admin would chime in
:evilgrin:

I know, he is talking about Iraq and I love it. Recommended.

5. wow, i don't understand a word of that
what the hell is he saying? that there's no looting and the media is making it up by showing the same thing over and over? that this is how things would be if we don't become a police state? what?

17. Wait - he actually said ". . .one can understand the pent-up feelings that
may result from decades of repression. . ."

Who, pray tell, does he think has been doing the repression? The Welfare system?

20. Pssssst... Iris....
...These are Rumsfeld quotes from the Iraq war, cleverly transcribed and applied to the New Orleans situation...

Don't tell anyone. That's the joke.

22. Hmmmmm. Hundreds dead and missing, coffins coming back...
...from Iraq, Shrub playing guitar in the middle of the greatest natural disaster to hit the US since the SanFrancisco quake...

I think your density can be forgiven.

Peace!

27. Thanks! Here's my latest - I feel like I'm living in the 70s again:
Cars are lining up and waiting in line for hours to fill up on $3.50+ gallons of gas here in metro Atlanta. I tried to go down to my local gas station and the street was backed up for blocks. There were 3 police cars in the turn lane with the officers standing next to them directing traffic into the 2 gas stations on the block - both with cars streaming out from all sides.

Damn - this is a time when I wish I had a camera phone.

The Governor has requested citizens to cancel their Labor Day travel plans.

23. Is there no pity here for poor ol' Mr. Gladhands?
He just needs some love and a great big hug...



Too bad he's so utterly vile and hateful that no one will ever give him these things...

These fuckers talk from four and five faces at a time; how the hell do they get away with this crap???
The average person's memory must be really short...
