==========
"[The President] is in Texas today to go to both Austin and San Antonio where shelters are, but also where supplies are prepositioned to move into the Gulf Coast after the storm hits. He''ll be there today to see what that situation is," says Mrs. Bush.
===============

I smell photo-op. You didn''t care the first time, and you only care now because your troubled party''s convention is in half-swing.

Too bad things weren''t "pre-positioned" for Katrina you thugs.

I hate you all, especially you Karl Rove, you pig.

Not one person is being critical of either of the palin''''s ladies for choosing life over abortion. If both of these ladies were liberals this would be a non-story because there would be two abortions.

And just like the Pregnancy of both Palins'' it would be none of YOUR fvcking business. You don''t feed them or house them, you don''t raise them or care for them and you sure as hell don''t carry or fvck to get them--then stay out from between other women''s legs and the results they incur therein.

"use this forum to browbeat the president. Mr. and Mrs. Bush have always conducted themselves with dignity"

What planet are you from? Bush has doubled our Federal Debt, started an illegal and unnecessary war with Iraq that killed over 4000 US military personnel, and perhaps hundreds of thousands of Iraqis, put billions of tax dollars in his buddies pockets, was asleep at the wheel during Katrina, started illegal spying, illegal wiretaps, illegal rendition, and illegal torture, etc, etc, etc...

Dignity you say!!

The only "Dignity" this country will experience under the George W. Bush presidency will occur next January 20th, 2009 when this sorry excuse for a man is shown the door.

An appropriate level of post presidential dignity for GWB would be trial, conviction, loss of presidential pension and 30 years in Gitmo with his buddy Richard Cheney.

"We learned from our mistakes."

How nice for you, Laura. I''''m sure that''''s a huge consolation to the relatives of the two thousand people who died as the result of your husband''''s bumbling response to Katrina.

Bush avoided the convention to help the storm victims? How exactly did he do that, with photo opp''s? By reading notes someone else prepared for him? The only help he was was for McCain, to avoid being seen or linked together.
It''s time we employ better educated people in office, not just the oil rich or those who barely made the grade, but well rounded educated people, none of which seem to be members of the GOP.
The VP is a mess, with her own family out of order how does she expect to make ours better.
McCain is an elderly man on the verge of extinction. These Republicans had eight years to get it together and failed, now suddenly they claim to have the answers and will make things better. When does a problem become the solution? I am sorry but I will lean towards a plan for hope and change before I will continue with failed and bad actions of the GOP. I''m not looking at color or gender, I''m not listening to personal political attacks or finger pointing, I''m looking at education qualities and a plan for improvement. I believe that this time around the Dem''s have what we need.

Yeah, the GOP is still celebrating 8 years of profiteering off of an unjust war based on lies & deception by stealing from the American people, after erroding our rights via fear tactics and lies, after sacrificing thousands of young American soldiers'' lives for profit, after supporting the oil companies ongoing & continuing profiteering of the American people, after giving tax breaks to big corporations for moving their manufacturing facilities to other countries, after creating one economic disaster after another, after TOTALLY ALIENATING the federal government from the people that supported it and used their political clout to bring the United States to edge of total economic catastrophe, after putting our country in debt for the next two or three generations to pay for, we learned. NO MORE THANK YOU, come November, we WILL show you how much we want to back the bush/mccain administration/regime. Enjoy Paraguay with the head monkey punk and his regime of failures, I hear the weather down there is fairly decent all year around. Your husband will be right at home with the other monkeys swinging in the trees. History WILL remember you sir, along with your cohorts, including the Viet Nam war, and the Iraq war as failures along with you as the largest presidential failure in the history of the United States and the world.

Mrs. Bush says she knows the Alaska governor well.

"I''ve met her at the National Governor''s Association meetings when she comes to Washington. George and I were just with her in Alaska when we stopped on the way to China for the Olympics"

Let''s see, Palin has been governor 2 years, so that is probably two meetings and then, once on the way to China. I''m so glad Laura knows her so well that she can encourage the rest of us to be so proud of McCain''s choice for VP. The Bushes, obviously, did not vett her either.
