Who Can Have the most assholish response to a Natural Disaster?


Bonus points for making God sound like a petty jerk!

Contestant # 1: Michele Bachmann (R-Pscychonnia)

"I don't know how much God has to do to get the attention of the politicians. We've had an earthquake; we've had a hurricane. He said, 'Are you going to start listening to me here?' Listen to the American people because the American people are roaring right now. They know government is on a morbid obesity diet and we've got to rein in the spending."

Well honey, He definitely said something about reigning in obesity, nudge, nudge!


Wow! So Bachmann's God just killed a bunch of people and destroyed a bunch of homes because he disagrees with our fiscal policy? Now that's a petty jerk! Also, if you did actually take "God's" advice and listen to the American People, you'd see that every poll indicates that they are not all that worried about the debt, they are worried about jobs. That roaring? That's the American people shouting JOBS, JOBS, JOBS!! It's only inside your little FOX News / Club For Growth bubble that cutting government spending is a top priority.

Contestant #2: Glenn Beck
Yeah, apparently Beck is still around. He popped his head out from under the cow flop he's been hiding under lately to say this:
.
This hurricane that is coming thorough the East Coast, for anyone who’s in the East Coast and has been listening to me say ‘Food storage!’ ‘Be prepared!’ ‘Be somebody that can help others,’ you’ve heard me say this for years. People have made fun of me. That’s fine, I don’t care. I’ve been telling you, ‘Don’t be in a panic situation.’ If you’ve waited, this hurricane is a blessing. It is a blessing. It is God reminding you — as was the earthquake last week — it’s God reminding you you’re not in control. Things can happen. Be prepared  

So, Beck's God just killed a bunch of people and destroyed a bunch of homes in order to make Beck look prescient? Or maybe to increase sales of Beck's "Food Insurance" scam? http://www.businessinsider.com/glenn-beck-food-insurance-2010-10

That's more than being a petty jerk, Beck's "God" is like a mafioso running a protection racket with Beck!

Hey, I'm just sayin' A lot of bad things can happen to an Eastern Seaboard!

This seems like the perfect time to attack FEMA.

Eric Cantor: Federal Hurricane Disaster Relief Would Have To Be Offset By Spending Cuts


Well, sure, if we're going to spend money on something frivolous like disaster relief, we'll have to cut something else. We certainly can't bring in more revenues for something this unimportant!

And of course, he's not the only one:

Ron Paul Thinks Hurricane Aid Is Wasteful, Touts Return To 1900

And how exactly did we deal with natural disasters in 1900?  

I guess you just hopefully lived next door to some friendly Amish folk who would help ypu re-build your home?

Or maybe homeowners' insurance companies hadn't yet figured out all the ways they could screw you out of payment yet?

Or were people just such rugged individualists back then that they just rebuilt dykes and dams and roads and buildings themselves with the tools that used to be in their garages before flood waters washed them away?

How long is it going to take before people realize that it's a bad idea to put people who don't believe in government in charge of the government?

Did Rupert Murdoch Buy National Geographic?

Because otherwise, I can't think of any reason why they would be airing "George W. Bush: the 9/11 Interview."

Is there some chance that they think he's going to suddenly be honest?

Look at this clip:


First clip from Nat Geo's "George W. Bush: The 9/11 Interview" from Realscreen magazine on Vimeo.


He starts out by lying, saying that he never wanted to be a wartime president, when we know that his adminsitration had been drawing up invasion plans for Iraq before 9/11, just waiting for a pretext.

Then he tells this bizzarre story about being told that the first plane had hit the WTC. He says that he thought it was a light aircraft and that it must have been some sort of weather-related accident or something. Had he not already been informed that 4 very large airplanes had been hijacked that morning? And when his aides told him about the crash, could they really have been that vague about the details? Would they really not have said "um, no, Mr. President, this was a fucking 747 and it looks to have been intentional?" Why would he have assumed that this was a minor incident? If a "light aircraft" had accisentally crashed into a building, that doesn't seem like something that would merit alerting the POTUS. And if he really did think that this was some sad, but minor accident, why instruct his staff to send all possible help to New York? If this was a light aircraft crashing in Manhattan, the FDNY would have been perfectly capable of handling it.

Bush's negligence on Sept. 11 was absolutely inexcusable and unforgivable. Instead of telling his staff to send help and then walking into a classroom, he should have been on the phone with NORAD. As soon as he got word that four different 747's had been hijacked at the same time, he should have been in contact with NORAD. Who knows how many lives could have been saved by scrambling fighter jets to force the planes down? Look at what happened with the 4th plane in Pennsylvania. Contrary to the story we all were originally told, the passengers did not wrest control of the plane from the terrorists. (If they had, would they have flown it straight into the ground, or would they have called air traffic control and try to get someone to talk them through safely landing the plane?) No, the black box confirms that as soon as the passengers started to kick down the cockpit door, the terrorists panicked and steered the plane into the ground because they knew that they could be overpowered and might lose their chance to kill thousands, so they decided they would at least kill the Americans who were on board their plane. There's no reason to think that they might not have reacted similarily to US fighter jets.

There is another promo running on the "Nat Geo" channel in which Bush states that his emotions at the time were "sadness, grief, and determination." Really? Determination? Determination to find out how "My Pet Goat" ends? (In the above clip, Bush claims that he was "listening intently to the lesson" ) Or was it determination to invade the wrong country?

I expect this sort of thing from FOX. They have a pathological need to participate in this sort of shameless rehabilitation of GW Bush, but National Geographic? Aren't they supposed to be an educational organization? Why in the hell would they be a party to this sort of blatantly disingenuous propoganda?

A foreign policy advisor to Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has been active in recent months in an advocacy campaign to rehabilitate the reputation of an underground organization in Iran known as the Mujahedin-e Khalq. The MEK has been designated by the U.S. State Department as a "terrorist" organization.
Mitchell Reiss, former director of policy planning at the State Department during the Bush administration, is now advising the former Massachusetts governor on foreign policy, the New Republic recently reported. Reiss also advised Romney's 2008 campaign.
