Many commentators are rushing to proclaim William Rehnquist one of the
"great" chief justices because of his impact on the Supreme Court. Not
so fast. With all due respect to his memory, it is clear that on many
important issues, Rehnquist lost the court that bore his name. And
during some of the most heated battles, rather than an influential
chief rallying the court, Rehnquist was the court's missing man,
seeming to watch from the sidelines.

FDR would have correctly concluded that American can
not fight any war without it's people & industries.
The blow to moral alone -- asking people to fight strangers
over seas while their families desperately need help --
would have been more than enough to convince any REAL
leader that they needed to act, and they needed to act at
the first hint of trouble (instead of five days after the fact).
Then again, I couldn't imagine FDR aiding the NAZI war
effort by outing our deep undercover operatives for
partisan political gain. Or having to invent rioting so they
could blame it on Newsweek as payback for cooperating
in the investigation of the deliberate leak which outed a
deep undercover operative.
FDR hung traitors.

I gotta come back to this. That's the *stupidest* thing I've seen said
this week.
A hurricane strike can be anticipated. You can see the damn things coming.
You can evacuate. And we DID evacuate. One million of us left the area.
Our local officials made it possible to move 80% of the population of New
Orleans out of harm's way. Almost a *quarter of the population of our
state was moved. Hundreds of thousands of lives were saved.
It's the aftermath that fell apart. When FEMA spent days on the org chart
instead of food and water.
A *terrorist* strike will come without warning. There won't *be* an
evacuation ahead of time. You won't get the *chance* to hop in your car
and leave.
If FEMA and DHS can't handle a situation where 80% of the population got
out *before* the incident, how do you think they'll do when 100% of the
population is taken totally by surprise?

It's difficult to imagine how Bush could be compared to Churchill. Churchill
was literate, witty and enormously well versed on history (military and
otherwise). He had been a journalist, novelist, politician, First Lord of
the Admiralty, and found time to write a history of the English speaking
peoples, and histories of WWI and WWII (enormous works). The man was a
tireless worker who, so far as I understand it, took only one real vacation
during the entirety of WWII, and that because he was sick.

That's a ***** analogy. We're not fighting
a world war against terrorism, despite all of
the smoke and mirrors and propaganda. Iraq is
not where terrorism against us began, neither
is it where we need to be fighting it. Should
we send more troops to Iraq if, (really when)
we're attacked again? Obviously not. Further,
if Bush and his band of merry idiots can send
aid now, where the ***** were they when it hit
hard? Here's your hint answer: "On vacation".
But, in their typical fashion, ala Karl Rove,
they're trying to attack the state officials,
and local government. What a classic response
from the dumbest man to grace the White House
with his absentminded presence. FDR would not
have ignored this problem, hoping it would go
away all by itself. Bush is a fucking nitwit.
It's only after all of the negative press and
pressure from fellow Republicans, that he got
off his lazy *****, and decided he should help.

A few news sites are reporting a poll showing that he actually got a
bounce out of this.
Though one might wonder whether he got a bounce from the disaster per se,
or whether it's because his _other_ disaster hasn't been in the news for
a week.

so fast. With all due respect to his memory, it is clear that on many
important issues, Rehnquist lost the court that bore his name. And
during some of the most heated battles, rather than an influential
chief rallying the court, Rehnquist was the court's missing man,
seeming to watch from the sidelines.

George Bush will be remembered as one of the greatest
President in the USA history.
For what? Destroying civil liberties? His panic on 9/11? A disastrous
reorganization of government? A willingness to put incompetent people
into positions where their incompetence kills people? A willingness to
destroy the financial underpinnings of the government so it cannot
respond properly? Sorry, but I cannot think of a single positive
accomplishment of George Bush. He even turned No Child Left Behind into
a joke and disaster.
Constitutional rights made it difficult to lead
a bunch of bastards and "irreverencieuse" mob
which is always demanding its right yet running
away from its responsabilities.
Nonsense. There is plenty of blame to go around in Louisiana and New
Orleans, but President Bush is not free from blame. If he had done his
job properly and hired someone who actually knew something about
disaster response, the number of dead people would have been far lower.
If someone indicts Brownie for murder, I won't complain, and George Bush
gave Brownie that job because George Bush didn't care if it was done
right or not.
You guys want government out of your life
except when you bring disasters upon yourselves
What nonsense. By the way, did you hear Barbara Bush's anti-poor
comment?

In a segment at the top of the show on the surge of
evacuees to the Texas city, Barbara Bush said: "Almost
everyone I’ve talked to says we're going to move to
Houston."
Then she added: "What I’m hearing which is sort of
scary is they all want to stay in Texas. Everyone is
so overwhelmed by the hospitality.
"And so many of the people in the arena here, you
know, were underprivileged anyway, so this--this (she
chuckles slightly) is working very well for them."

Don't worry - he has eagerly stepped forward to investigate himself.
