And what was mayor “nutless” Nagin doing while New Orleans drowned? Oh yeah he was doing what liberals do best, crying for the federal goverment to save his ass. What leadership.

Because Mayor Nagin had the billions of dollars worth of resources to save the city at arms reach.

Enough with the Bush apologists! Yes, Nagin didn’t do his part, but Bush is the freakin’ president of the United States, and how this couldn’t get him off his ass, and how it could take him several minutes to get out of the classroom to deal with a major attack on our country but a late-night vote on the Terri Schiavo bill moves him to action makes you wonder what’s going on in his head.

At least Nagin was trying, in the middle of a catastrophe while Bush sat on his royal — at the Ranch and picked his nose.

The dolt was warned and is on video acknowledging that Katrina would be a disaster days before the storm hit the Gulf Coast.

Bush, after a year, has still not gotten his Act together and this is a warning to all Americans how much we can expect from the Lemon “Pres.” and his crack administration-they were all partying it up while New Orleans drowned….

Let the Oaf take responsibility by leaving office and allowing a competent administration and President to take charge-No Republicans Need Apply……..

They’ve forgotten how to pull themselves up by their bootstraps-they just whine and blame everyone and their mother for the mess that Bush made and still hasn’t fixed….

Hallzee, I hate to tell you this, but you give mayors too much credit. School buses do not fall under their jurisdiction. They fall under the school districts’ superintendent. Nagin probably had no idea those buses were there and how many were actually working. Even if all 324 buses were working they would have been able to evacuate 22,000 of the 150,000 who needed help. The Louisiana National Guard requested 700 buses from FEMA. They sent 300, 24 less than the school buses available. So, even your precious federal government couldn’t get it’s shit together when given specific needs.

learn to swim, learn to swim…

What was anyone doing during that disaster? Some people could have been taking a shit, some could have been mowing their lawns, baking cookies, picking kids up from school, etc…

Cheap shots at the President have become the norm and it’s pretty tiresome.

Cheap shots? No, I haven’t seen any of them. All the attacks I’ve seen have been right on the money. The only defence anyone here has offered for Bush is that Nagin was worse. Only a moron could fail to see that this is no defence of Bush at all. What’s that? Oh, yes, right.

DHUGE, THIS IS NO DEFENCE OF BUSH AT ALL.

I’m confused…first, you Bush-haters complain that Bush is too much like a dictator, then when he doesn’t override the powers of local authorities, suddenly he’s not excercising his power enough. Which is it? Can you people formulate a coherent criticism of the man, instead of just deciding that ANYTHING he does is wrong and evil? Use your brains!!!

Rolling Stone is suppose to be about music, why are you using it to broadcast your own political propoganda?

Boo-hoo whiny cry baby blame the republicans instead of actually taking the time to study what really happened liberals
who will you blame for anything and everything if the next pres is a democrat?
rolling stone taking a blind liberal stance?……..Shocking

Andy – Very good point.

Hallzee – Good to see you my friend, and you are on target as always.

Bubba ORLY?
“School buses do not fall under their jurisdiction. They fall under the school districts’ superintendent.”

What? He is the Mayor!!!! He is the city’s Chief Executive, the school superintendent answers to him and the city council. Who do you think funds the schools…umm maybe the city? Duh. But let me get this right…mayor Nagin does not know the resources available to the city, but the President is suppose to know?

Dave Stewart – The reason we are discussing politics could be because the link at the top of the page says “Politics”…Just a thought…I could be wrong…And probally am according to Alien Billie…right Billie?

i am portuguese and i think that bush is far the worst president that the u.s have in all the history.bush fuck you

Fuckin’ republicans. Fuckin’ Americans…

“And probally am according to Alien Billie…right Billie?”
No, congratulations CP, you have at last managed to type something that is completely correct. How do you fancy retiring with your winning streak unbroken?

Rolling Stone is anti-American. They want to be though, because it’s COOL!

Capitalist Pig – You obviously do not understand municipal government. If the city has a strong mayor form of government then the superintendent partially falls under the mayor. If not, then it falls under the city council. And I never once said it was Bush’s fault. I invoked the name of FEMA. Learn to read, numbnuts.

Hey Republicans, what are you doing bellyaching on Rolling Stone’s blog? Why aren’t you in fighting in Iraq right now? You too busy to fight for your country, or what?

fuck rolling stone. they dont know good music anymore really. and they are just full of hate for america.

Bush Rocks!! He probably knows more guitar chords than that twit Neil Young that you dried up old hippies beat off to.

Alien Billie – Retiring? No way, who would you argue with? Who would there be to call you an idiot? You would miss me.

Bubba ORLY? – I stand corrected. You indeed did not attack Bush. I still believe Nagin could have taken control of the buses in such a crisis, or if not the govenor could have. And my nuts are not numb.

JD Williams – I don’t think RS ever new what good music was, I mean look at some of the shit they recommended to their readers in the 1970’s.

After reading this blog and seeing the partisan bickering that is going on I am only reminded of Bush’s true failure. The failure to unite this country after a catastrophic attack on our shores. His only accomplishment has been the increased division of this country’s citizens that will eventually lead to our downfall. Sad….

Look, when you find out that a hurricane is coming you pack up and get the fuck out. If you’re so lame that you cannot do this without the government’s help you are an inferior piece of shit and deserve whatever happens to your lame ass.

“C U in Hell | 8/31/2006, 1:00 pm EST

Hey Republicans, what are you doing bellyaching on Rolling Stone’s blog? Why aren’t you in fighting in Iraq right now? You too busy to fight for your country, or what?”

I am in the Marine Corps. OCS program. Would you like to join me?

The partisan bickering and the divided status of this nation is just a result of a 2-party system that doesn’t represent either side very well. There are a lot of fiscally conservative but socially liberal people out there, but there aren’t many politicians that also fall into that category.

Oh, all this Bipartisan bickering is Bush’s fault? I think has more to do with the bloodthirsty hatred the Left has for Bush and most of us in America. No one – Not a Muslim Terrorist or a Red Chinese – could possibly hate the American people more than an American liberal. George Bush beat Al Gore and John Kerry and they will dog him for it til the day he dies.

Capitalist Pig – Of course he could have. But the question is did he know they were there? Since they weren’t, why did FEMA send 300 buses and not 700 like was requested? Shortage? Maybe.

1) If you don’t have a car, and you are broke, you can’t very well evacuate anywhere, can you? That’s where the federal governemnt comes in, or is supposed to, anyway.

2) “Learn to swim”? That is just revolting. I would say “shame on you”, but you are clearly shameless, so what’s the point?

3) To the(remaining)Bush supporters: To blindly and without question approve of every single thing your President does is not being patriotic. It means you are in a cult.

4) It’s pretty ironic that so many conservative minded folks on this thread get worked up about Liberals crying for government aid, when Conservatives have reaped the lion’s share of Katrina aid-money in no bid contracts that in turn do absolutely nothing for the people or economy of the States most affected by the storm. I guess it’s OK when you do it. Jesus.

Dhuge –

No, I’m not going to join you. I think Iraq is bullshit, and I have no confidence in this administration to keep our country safe from anything or anyone.

That’s nice that you’re in OCS. I was too. (Army.) I dropped out when I realized what I just stated in the above paragraph. No offense, but what are you going into? Something real like infantry, or some bullshit? The reason I ask is that I know OCS guys from college who talk real tough about war, but who are going into really low-risk military jobs after college.

It’s different when you’re a grunt, too. I just hope you know what you’re getting into. I have friends from high school who fought over there – killed people, got wounded, the whole deal. They’re still staunch Republicans, too, even now, but even they say the war isn’t worth it.

Good luck, man. You’re on your own unless there’s a draft. Then I’ll be pulling some bullshit duty myself – preferably on an Air Force base in Wichita or Nevada. I’m not getting my legs blown off for a man who didn’t know the difference between Sunnis and Shiites two weeks before the invasion – or the ignorant voters who don’t care.

Lobster,
Every single comment I have read from you tells me that you are a complete ASS. You have not one ounce of respect, humility, empathy, or compassion. You are a waste of human tissue. Nothing you have ever said on here is helpfull or of value to anyone. You’re the kind of person that laughs at an old ladie when she falls, instead of helping her up. You deserve any such shit storm that comes your way.

As long as people abdicate responsibility for their lives to a bunch of rich, corrupt autocrats this type of shit will keep happening. I think we’d be better off with no leader than a moron like Bush. The two party systen is definitely the problem here as the Democrats are just as corrupt as the Republicans and equally responsible for our country’s fate. having said that Bush is in fact

Bubba ORLY? –

I don’t know why FEMA did not send the buses, but Nagin should have known what resources he had available in a crisis situation. He showed poor leadership. To me the failure of FEMA just shows that big beuracratic goverment cannot save you in a crisis like this, the local and state goverment are there and should be prepared to handle things in the short term.

tuckyducky – Bush is not the one who is dividing this country after an attack. The dems who voted for the war, then immediately started protesting against the same war are doing the dividing. The dems politicized this war not Bush.

Jason E – Many Republicans, including myself, disagree with Bush on many things. Immigration reform, Harriet Myers nomination, and spending like a democrat among others. As for the no bid contracts, who would you have rebuild the city? Some local construction company? This is a massive job, and there are few companies capable of handling such a task. Big jobs often require big companies who are use to dealing with such massive projects.

I think Rolling Stone should write an article praising Bush for preventing Tropical Storm Ernesto from turning into a hurricane and destroying Florida. Because Presidents have the power to do so. C U in hell. I am not fighting in Iraq because nobody has called me up for service. I don’t know if they need me since the military has a rate of service men reupping at 80%. If it was a war they did not believe in would they not be heading to Canada? Plus someone has to work over here so that numnutz such as yourself can live off others hard work. Quick word of advice. No more hits off the pipe this evening. You are not making sence. W is the man!!!!!!

Capitalist Pig, I’d normally defend you against a lot of the folks on this blog, but I think you’re a little off when you say “the Dems politicized this war not Bush.” Politics are the entire REASON for this war. Look, I think Saddam’s as much of a monster as you seem to, and he definitely got what he deserved, but there’s no way in hell the war would have happened without one political party looking to destroy another on the other side of the globe. The next person within reach who excuses the president for having been “failed by our intelligence” I’m simply going to smack–it was obvious to anyone paying attention in 2003 that Iraq was a war of choice, not necessity. That said, I do agree that pulling our troops out abruptly is a very bad idea–it would give every country neighboring Iraq a golden opportunity to carve up the beast as they see fit. At least with American troops in, there’s some hope for order. Anyone who claims that our presence in Iraq is the source of all the present and future violence has simply not been paying attention.

Oh, and as far as the so-called “flip-flopping Dems” go, this is merely a euphemism for those who believe Iraq was a good idea in principle, but fouled up by one of the most thoroughly incompetent heads of state of modern times. When America manages to single-handedly rebuild and re-constitute Japan, but fails to to do the same for a country one-third the size, it goes to reason the fault is not with the principle, but with the man in charge. If there is a mistake we “wafflers,” “opportunists,” and (as Taibbi so eloquently put it) “enablers” made on the war, it was trusting Mr. Bush to do the job right. We should not have been so trusting. For that, we willingly accept your censure and blame.

Wow, liberals are still whining about this? Will Rolling Stone get its head out of its ass? We all know Bush created Katrina to get rid of the blacks and liberal Democrats in Nawlins. Lol…

Gotta hand it to this vitriolic leftist rag to politicize a national disaster..

New Orleans was suppose to be the perfect uptopian Democratic city: no racism, no crime, no class warfare, and along comes a hurricane that turns the city up side down. If that city was run by Republicans, its citizens would’ve known how to take care of themselves instead of looking for hand outs and help from big government..
If there is any good to come from Katrina, it exposes a Democratic runned city for what it is…

Wow! That’s almost as bad as when I was reading children’s books on 9/11.

For those who blame Nagin, let me remind you that 1.5 million people were successfully evacuated from the Greater New Orleans area in less than 48 hours.
Second, sometimes leadership is knowing when to call for reinforcements. When the levees broke, due to the fact the ACOE built them wrong, Nagin effectively lost his police force, fire department, and EMT’s in less than ten hours – as well as electric, phone, gas, water and satellite services. Stepping in to confront such a disaster is a primary reason we have a federal government.
For those of you screaming about why we aren’t taking care of ourselves, we are. This will be hard for many of you, but believe everything you see on TV.
And for those of you who blame the blacks and the poor and the liberals and the democrats, I simply hope something like Katrina never happens to you. I live in New Orleans and wouldn’t wish a disaster like this on anyone.

I really tried to be civil, but Joe –

you can kiss my funky, gumbo-lovin’ ass. Wherever you are, stay there.

why are we still talking about katrina?? oh yeah i forgot its for democrats to try to score cheap political points….bottom line..get ready guys..here goes..NATURAL DISASTERS=Local Government responsibilty first and foremost…only if they screw up royally(which they did) should the President then get involved…

oh yeah, Bush’s 7 minutes of indecision on 9/11? how do you explain Clintons 8 years of indecision between 1992 and 2000? If you forget Al Qaeda hit us 5 times on his watch, once here and 4 times overseas…and all 19 hijackers got in this country and began taking flight lessons during his FIRST term….yeah…instead of blaming republicans for everything that goes wrong, why dont you be real, and honest and pass to blame to EVERYONE who deserves it…

lets see, was it Clinton’s 8 years of inaction or was it Congresses 8 years of investigating blow jobs and claiming “wag the dog” when missiles wre fired at bin Laden, Katrina is just an example for us at home folks how the war in Irag is being run oversees. Slow reasponse after slow response, corporate profiteering, the inability to fix shit, no security, blatant ineptitude etc. Bush and his well to do day dreamers have plunged this country into the abyss. mean while the lower classes are stuck with the bill and the body bags!

Hey, Rolling Stone – How about some coverage of Ernesto and John fucking up lives left and right as we speak right now? Oh, I see . . . You’re busy covering the Video Music Awards, huh? Oh, I’m sorry.

oh i see, so we blame congress for everything that went wrong in Clintons term, but give them no credit for things that went right, like balancing the budget….

you guys all need to wake up and stop taking political sides, because if you look closely at conservatives and liberals you will see they have alot more in common than you thought…alot of them are part of the same organizations

So let me get this straight: Bush had no responsibility to give federal aide to his own people as they were drowning in a storm he knew was coming. And those people deserved to die.

Are you crazy or just stupid?

I would have a lot more respect for the Republican party if you didn’t insist on casting your lot in with one of the most inept, fantastically stupid and dishonest men in the history of human civilization. A crack whore has more self respect than you do. And I would be willing to listen to you if it weren’t so obvious that you care about absolutley no one but yourselves. You don’t have a shred of human decency and are truly some of the most disgusting examples of callous behavior I have ever seen.

Machiavelli would piss himself.

“What was Bush doing? Strumming a guitar. That’s leadership.”

Yet we have to sit up and pay attention when musicians offer their uninformed political opinions as gospel. I guess its only “leadership” when the rock stars are doing the strumming.

John-
How ironic that Clinton actually balanced the budget. The President submits the federal budget to the House of Representatives at the beginning of each fiscal year.

The reason that ANYONE was rescued from New Orleans, a city that I love and where my Mother’s family is from (via Ireland) is because my home town of Houston came over and bailed – literally – them out. Ray Nagin could not crawl his way out of a paper bag. Our crime rate has gone up 25% and our city has bent over backwards to help. New Orleans is not the only place that was harmed in Hurricane Katrina. The entire Gulf Coast was hit. Also, I’m sick to death of Democrats bashing President Bush. I suppose he needs to have an extramarital affair for him to get any respect from the Democrats. Bug off, dudes.

Oh yeah! I just remembered. Patti Smith… wasn’t she just going on a rant in support of “hezbollah”? At Lollapalooza. In Chicago. The “Windy” City. Home of the “Chicago Bulls” and the “Chicago Bears”… When she was supposed to be reading “children’s” poetry? Ironic. Didn’t she dedicate that song “Wings” to the late Arthur Lee from the band “Love”? She has that album, with that song “Ghandi”… (Which makes me think of “Trains”.. by the way!)… and she’s throwing bombs… at children… when she should have been reading “Children’s” poetry. Damn. She may have to get back to the “Garden”. (MSG that is.)

Maybe I should remind her of that song “gloria” from her “horses” album.

She may need to be introduced to some poetry of the more “adult” kind.

With those “BLACK” covers.

“rolling stone” had better start getting their stories straight.

Because this “irony” is “killing” me!

HA HA HA!

Dear Bruno – lovely language! go back to Portugal and register for charm school.

Dear Alien Billie – it is “defense” – you mis-spelled it three (3!) times.

Let Them Eat Cake – you are entitled to your opinion – even though you are a victim of incorrect thinking.

OH MY GOD!!!!!! Little children, er liberals!!!!! You need to calm down before you hurt yourselves!!! STOP BLAMING BUSH FOR EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT’S NOT HIS FAULT THAT KATRINA HAPPENED!!!!!!!! ANYONE THAT BLAMES A DISASTER ON ONE PERSON IS A COMPLETE MORON!!! ENOUGH!!!!! MY GOD!!!!! YES IRAQ IS QUESTIONABLE AND YES OUR WORLD IS GOING TO HELL IN A HANDBAG, BUT IT’S NOT BUSH’S FAULT.

Give it up already! Get over “yourselves”!

We don’t blame Bush for what happened (Katrina), we only blame him for what did NOT happen (responsible government action in a timley fucking manner). The only thing you neo-cons are pissed off about is the fact that YOU helped put him and his mafia into power. Now you’re just arguing with the facts so you don’t feel so bad about being partially responsibly for the cluster fuck our country has become. The president gets blamed for any govenment fuck-ups. It’s his administration that is to blame as well. His name just gets used because, ultimately it is HIS responsibility. When a sports team is crap year after year, like this administration, the coach is the one who gets blamed and fired. GW is the coach, YOU hired him, deal with it.

g will – There was no 8 years of investigating Clinton’s lying to a federal grand jury, the investigation did not start until 1998, two years before the liar left office. I he did not fire a missle at OBL, he fired it at a camels ass in Iraq to distract the people from what was going on.

Jack D–Here, here. I’m with you, baby. If people want to support Bush, fine. It’s your right. Personally I’m going to invoke my right and help impeach him. Anyone who believes in human rights should likewise do the same. Don’t just sit there and whine, liberals. Get out there and vote. If not, you’ll only have yourselves to blame when you’re living out of a trash can and running from the thought police! ;p

Vote, vote, vote! If everyone would just do that one little thing we could have a better world. Don’t vote and you deserve your fate.

The point I guess I was trying to make was that Bush had the opportunity to tell this country that it is time we rid ourselves of the addiction of foreign oil and this is what you can do as an American to start the process. At the time of 9/11 Americans were willing to do anything for this country. I remember seeing people standing in line for hours to give blood. What did Bush ask us to do…to go to the mall!?!?! What a opportunity wasted.

Hey Adam..
you are wrong..a president can not do ANYTHING without the approval of congress.. I sure am glad Clinton cut military spending and raised my taxes so we can pay for crack-whore moms with 6 kids and no husband…way to go Bill!!!

chocolate city—awesome name…imagine if a white mayor said we need to make this a “vanilla city again”…oh my god…there would be riots…just goes to show the double standard in this country…

4.7 unemployment? Ha! All those “new jobs” you hear tell about are actually second jobs those “crack whores with six children and (gasp!) no man” are holding down to try and keep those kids you fuckers are always raving about saving from evil abortionists alive. Ah, Republicans. You want all these babies and then the minute they’re born you cut off all support for them and their families and call their mothers whores. That’s classy! What an impeccable show of humanity–you fucking dick wads.

And check your stats. Every day CNN and NBC trot out the fact that there are no new jobs. When two consenting adults can’t get married, the government is tapping your phone, the body count between the people Bush didn’t help in Katrina and the tens of thousands he did “help” in Iraq (and I’m counting the innocent Iraqui civilians you bigoted assholes) is at a record high and what passes for “low unemployment rates” really means that the vast majority of the rapidly diminishing lower classes are working slave wages at two or three seperate jobs I’d say hell has already begun.

Burn you stupid mother fuckers! Burn!

i think some of that last post was directed at me…who said I am a republican?…I am a rational person calling a woman in her early 20’s with 6 kids and no husband a whore…someone want to debate me on that?(besides young mothers with 6 kids and no husbands of course)

Look at Bush rockin out in that pic…

dear lauren i think the music bushlegear by pearl jam says everything about the president of the u.s.mygod i cannot say the name of that capitalist pig

I am one bad-ass mofo!

Oh yeah! Did anyone realize that “rolling stone” is equating the problems in Iraq with the Katrina disaster?

It’s as if Jesus Chirst came down from heaven and caused a natural disaster in New Orleans just to give Rolling Stone another new reason to hate those “crazy-christian-right-wing-ev angelicals”

Jesus was always there when the National Affairs Department needed help on their hate America/Christians campaign!

How about learning the difference between right and wrong.

And how about equating the terrorists with Nazis.

And equating the Bible with the U.S. Constitution.

Because there are some people that are going to hell. Real soon.

… Which reminds me. Wasn’t it Jann S. Wenner’s own American flag pin that appeared on the commemorative issuse of the first 9/11 attacks? As if it were Jann S. Wenner’s 9/11?

Selfish capitalist pig!

This message is to the postings by God is Pissed. If you ever see whiney libs here is the formula for there make up. High School outcast mad he was not dating the prom queen. Stuck at home playing dungeons and dragons while holding huge hatred towards the ones who are winning the football game. This happens through junior high, high school, and maybe college. Hatred builds. He finds friends with a liberal group on campus, gets a piece of ass from some man hating arm pit hair have feminist. Thinks has it all. Sees all “conformist” succeeding in life while he is stuck at starbucks. Play by the rules and anything is possible. Continues to show hatred by putting that sweet F the president sticker on the back of his 1988 camry. If he lives in the south, then he has a tiny blue dot in a red state sticker. All in all the liberal mentality just means that I am going to have to pick up the slack caused by you and work harder. I am not complaining because that is what real Americans do.

Don’t even let me bring up Jann S. Wenner’s Birthday (Jan. 7th)

Or the cover of the 1,00th “ISSUE” of the “rolling stone”

Or that Plane crash in Kentucky (Blue Grass Airport) that killed 49 People. At 6:07 AM. How can an airplane take off from the wrong runway? That was too short to begin with?

Hmmm

Kinda makes me think of the Suicide Girls website.

And Jenna Jameson.

Larry Flynt.

Kiss.

50 Cent.

Rap (ture) Music.

And newspapers.

And Rollercoasters

And Marilyn Manson

And Michael Moore

And that Quarterback from the Steelers — Good ol’ Number “7″ on the motorcycle! Ben Roethlisberger!

Hilarious!

And the 50th Anniversary Playboy

Didn’t I hear about a plane crash in Afghanistan where 14 British Troops were killed?

Country Music? Johnny Cash! Buck Owens!

After “midnight” by Wilson Pickett

Among others.

Weird.

(Oh yeah! Paul Simon’s new album too!)

Don’t even get me started on “MTV” and “VH1″!

you know whats strange?…this story rolling stone put online was slanted to make us think like them yet the majority of the people on this blog dont seem to be libs….that is strange…better go to plan b rolling stone…

G Will, Why don’t you make an attack at myself? I am waiting for some douche bag lib to try to take me on. I will shut you down. Real fast! I have never been proven wrong and will attack like a pit bull. I will not stand for the spin the left tries to pull on dumb dumb MTV America. Trying to spin the blame on a GOP congress for not stopping terrorism is repulsive. I will not bring up the times BJ Clinton and the wicked witch of the…..well it was Arkansas and now New York. Who knows. The DNC and fish wraps like RS have not only jeapordized this country but all our lives by trying to politicize the issue of terrorism. Kennedy, Pelosi, Turbin Durbin, That ole coot they call a war hero up in Penn. ( I don’t want to type his name), lurch Kerry, and dingy Harry Reid are as dangerous as that monster running Iran. It might be cool according to RS, Hollywood, and the media to trash this country……but I am not buying it and will make sure you liberal loonies do not gain power. G.W. is the man!!!!!!! Go to hell Rolling Stone!!!!!

I agree with “g will” on this one. Republicans are the only ones that distort facts. Take this “rolling stone” article we are discussing for example…

The person using (George W Bush) as a post name. I challenge you to try to make me look bad. I will destroy any arguement you have.

Yeah, New Orleans was a liberal paradise. How come they are having problems down there? Funny how places in Mississippi (republican areas) got hit hard but they managed to pull themselves out of it yet the liberal city can do nothing but throw blame all over the place and still fix nothing.

The message is quit blaming people and fix it yourself. The federal governement has sent billions upon billons to help fix it up. Get a grip. You guys should be ashamed for the crap you try to force into your reader’s minds.

Alien Billie, I don’t like to see our boys get killed in action. It is tragic but guess what. It is one of the prices we pay when we go to war. What do you think happens in war? Everyone smokes a bowl holds hands and everything is peachy keen. I have talked to soldiers that have been over in Iraq who have told me that we are doing the right thing in Iraq and the people want us over there. That is contrary to ole Murtha and Tubin Durbin has said. Comments that those two jackasses have made have only put our troops in more harms way. We live in a world with people who want to do us harm and folks such as yourself, michael moore, and Rolling Stone basically take the side of the enemy and blame America for all ill in the world. When we are the ones balancing this crazy world. Can’t depend on the U.N., France (cheese eating surrender monkeys), Russia, or China to help us. In fact they are out to hurt us. It is important that liberals do not get into power so that our national security is jeapardized.

I saw the warnings about “the big one” from my home in Indiana. I saw Michael Brown tell everybody to get out days before. I saw the mayor ORDER everyone out the day before. These people, black and white, DECIDED to stay. You could have WALKED out of there in time to save your life. You Bush haters are pigs. And you are trying to take us all over the cliff.

Cheney, your red state blue state argument was the most irrational one I have ever seen!! I’ll prove it for you right now…who makes more money in the blue state New York..The guys with college degrees working on Wall Street and in big corporations(republicans) or the aspiring actor working at starbucks(liberal). Those are very broad generalized professions, but you get the point. The reason most of the richest states are blue is because the libs pick up all the trash on the street like alcoholic homeless people, and prostitutes and bus them in to vote democrat. And the democrats also tax hard working people more to pick up the slack for 20 year old welfare moms with 6 kids and no husbands…There are way more degenerates like that than there are people who study hard and work hard..thus the reason the states are blue…

Man the libs are getting killed on this blog..and rolling stone is their home turf…

They generally get killed. The majority of Conservatives who comment on RS are quite knowledgeable and better at agruing common sense points. Meanwhile a much higher percentage of the Liberals who comment are extremists who can’t hold down a real, foundational stance. There may be more liberals, but there’s a significant lack of really intelligent ones who can hold their own in a debate.

Damn, the liberals are right! These conservatives spread nothing but lies

Chocolate City sounds to me like the kind of person who would love to go back to the time before the emancipation.

I support our country in whatever it does. But this president has shaken my trust. He has lied about our country being under a clear and present threat. And for that I believe he deserves to be investigated.

And somehow you are able to get away with making logical fallacies while boosting your pro-conservative arrogance? Nice.

Cheney… your red/blue state rant is a total myth and makes you look completely silly. The country is split 50/50 (roughly). Research the writing and speaking of Al Franken and Michael Moore for more on this subject. Also, you need to do more research on your stupid globalization hurting the American worker nonsense. Read Thomas Friedman of the New York Times. These three sources are hardly conservative hacks. Also, you are obviously full of anger and sexual frustration… re-read what you wrote. Does this sound like a rational, centered, confident man to you? The article written above is basically blaming W. for the Katrina fiasco. That is just factual not correct. By the way, anyone here catch the Washington Post editorial about the C.I.A. leak case? I wonder if Chris Matthews will do two months of shows reporting this correction… I doubt it.

Richard Dick Cheney- you are one fuckin stupid rambling dumbass. Your little theories are the most ridiculous shit I’ve ever heard. Get a life and stop posting your 5,000 word comments on Rolling Stone.

Not true, I’m not Conservative at all. My stances on the big issues would reflect those of a moderate to liberal individual from 10-12 years ago. That was an observation made through lots of viewed comments between people of different parties. And honestly, the liberals generally come off as unintelligent, miguided extremists while the conservatives generally come off as the voice of common sense. I say “generally” because there are some smart liberal comments and dumb, redneck, conservative comments. But when it comes to the debates, a lot of the time the conservative voices have better points. That doesn’t nessacarily mean they’re right; it just means that there are few liberal commentators who can debate well enough, or hold a stance long enough, to prove them wrong. That is an unbiased opinion, like it or not.

hey Cheney, I liked your argument but when you said your a “real man” I got a little confused. I thought you said you were a liberal…most liberal “men” I know are hardly manly.. unless you consder a 110-140 pound “man” sipping starbucks and wearing sandals a real man. I am also willing to bet any amount of money if YOU were standing in front of ME you would never in a million years make that statement..ever…everyone is tough over the computer…

STFU Matt, you are a typical keyboard warrior. If he had said that to your face, you would be shitting your pants like a typical coward conservative.

uh oh it looks like i struck a nerve with ricky over there…and i never said i was a conservative, im just not some fem-liberal….

The hallmark of foolishness is not knowing what you don’t know… and still believing that you know more than others.

g will – You apparently can’t read facts, or like most liberals just make them up to suit your needs. The Republicans did not take control of congress until 1994. So by your “facts” he was investigated by his own party for two years. And the impeachment investigation did not begin until Dec. 1998, two years before the loser left office. I know facts are hard for the left to accept, like the fact that you do not speak for the majority of Americans.

Don’t fool yourself C Co. The only reason you think the conservatives are better at debate is because you are one. Don’t give us that crap about being a moderate on “the big issues”. You’re arguments and thought processes are straight up conservative.
The first step to recovery is admition.

Richard Dick Cheney You said-

“…Canada, specifically Ontario produces more cars than Detroit today…”

Just I thought I would point out one more of your ignorant statements. In 1995 the U.S. produced 11,524,000 Auto’s, the most in the world, and Canada produced 2,624,000. Some much for your brilliant liberal, yankee mind. You can’t even count.

Oh thanks JackD. Because I don’t think Bush is a Nazi, that makes me Conservative. Glad you cleared me up.

I think it’s my decision what political stance I take, am I wrong? I might seem Conservative to people because they are so far left, their perspective is skewed. I’m for stem cell research, abortion, and I take environmentalist stances a lot of time when it comes to nature. I also think terrorism is a big deal. I think we made the wrong decision in attacking Iraq by ourselves. We should’ve attacked the more imment threat of Iran or gotten more support from other countries before going to Iraq. Finially, I like Joe Liebermen and John McCain. Why, because they’re moderates, as am I.

CaPig, It’s not about trivializing the holocaust, it’s about putting into perspective what and how we are doing right now.
C Co, My comment had nothing to do with a Nazi comparison, just what I read from you. Also, if your stance on those subjects are true, I stand corrected. It’s sometimes difficult to ascertain where people stand when reading comments on here. No tone of voice or inflection confuses the matter. However, you certainly present yourself as conservative, regardless of intention.

Wow, “Bob” and “Dhuge” You both are about as clued in as your Fearful Leader….

I’m sure the word most on Katrina victim’s minds, is oh boy, that was “Tiresome”…

Do you Bush-boys ever come out of your Bubble?

Yea, Perfect description of what it must feel like to lose your family/friends to dehydration, starvation, drowning, toxic waters, high winds, etc….

Do you Repubes live on the same Planet or do you live in “Never-Never Land” where King George W. is your “Super Hero”(We know he likes costumes, but??????)

The whack job “Prez” has frozen like a popsicle when America is faced with disaster….

Goober can’t seem to stop partying or reading to his peers when disaster hits.

Four year olds could have handled a better response to Katrina than Bush did.

Nagin was in the middle of the disaster-his powers were limited but, he finally got Bush off his butt, when he demanded help…

Meanwhile, back at the Ranch, Bush was still dancin…around the issue…and doing Social Visits at his “pals”.

Fast-thinkin George couldn’t get it together(All the Kings Horses and All the Kings Men Couldn’t Even Come Up With a Plan)….(Just like Iraq)..

Maybe the King locked himself in the Outhouse for four or five days, accidentally….And no one noticed…..

Everyone got there before Bush did anything(Harry Connick,Jr., Sean Penn, Soledad Obrien, Rip Van Winkle, etc…)

The Lame—had No Excuse and spinning it any other way, avoids what all you Bush-lovers continually do, facing the fact that the guy who was cheated in, can’t handle the job he never earned……

The death toll is still most likely closer to Nagin’s “10,000″ estimate than the administration’s minimalist “estimate”- the “missing” were bordering on another 3,000 or 4,000 people….

The only “Tiresome” are imbeciles like CP, C-co, Dhuge etc. that that can’t or won’t see what the Grim Reaper “President” flops at daily and make inane excuses for Bush, ad nauseum…..

And we are all one natural disaster away from getting the same “Nothin” when our cities are going under/down with Bush and the Republicans “in charge”……

“The Curse of the SlothWolf”…

So I’m looking at Bush’s left hand in the Guitar Strummin’ picture. It looks like a G chord, but his position is off by one fret. I tried it on my guitar and I gotta say, it sounds like SHIT! I wonder how much he had to pay that woman in the background to smile while he was doing that? The guy with the goatee right behind him looks concerned, like “don’t fuck up my guitar, dude!”
