So what is ChimpCo's response to Katrina???

[jpak]

More mountain biking????

New Orleans and southern LA could suffer a disaster orders of magnitude greater than 9/11.

Oil prices will skyrocket when the markets open on Monday.

So what the fuck is he doing about any of this????

[PatrioticLeftie]

1. "We will stay the course...

on the war with nature."

[NRaleighLiberal]

2. "I refuse to meet with Katrina under any circumstances..."

[jpak]

5. LOL!!!!!!

you guys are killing me!

:)

[Radio_Lady]

3. Um-m-m... he's probably taking a nap after dinner...

What a turdhead~! He should be on television trying to head off one of the biggest potential disasters, but let's remember that "frozen faced" look after 9/11. NOTHING HAS CHANGED...

[NYC]

4. He's on vacation.

He's probably clearing brush.

[PA Democrat]

6. Operation Enduring Vacation n/t

[Lefty48197]

28. HILARIOUS n/t

.

[tlsmith1963]

7. He Will Probably Blame Clinton For the Storm

Since the conservatives blame Clinton for *everything*.:rofl:

8. Umm, what exactly do you want a President to "do"

about a hurricane heading for the gulf coast?
Ask his ol' buddy God to turn it aside?
Try to nuke it maybe?
Declare it a terrorist, and have it indicted under the Patriot Act? :shrug:

[unrepuke]

10. I expect he'll send a couple hundred million to his brother, Jebbie

[Lefty48197]

29. You're right. This is clearly a job for Pat Robertson.

I saw him will a hurricane away from somewhere a long time ago.

[jpak]

9. Seriously though

Has FEMA made any statements????

Has the DOE or DOD????

If there are mass casualties and thousands of people trapped in the Super Dome - there will have to be a massive federal response.

Most of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve is located in southern LA - if LA's petroleum infrastructure is heavily damaged, will the DOE be able to mobilize the SPR????

To put it bluntly - the worst case scenario is the equal to a nuclear strike against NO.

ChimpCo better be prepared to deal with it.

[HysteryDiagnosis]

11. Gonna bomb another country to get even... Osama or Clinton have

got to be behind this someway, somehow.

[Desertrose]

12. Huh?....that's his reply.....LOL

If it ain't hittin' Jebbie's state it don't matter. heh heh.

[KyndCulture]

13. Operation Enduring Vacation... nt

[trof]

14. Probably evacuate to Camp David.

Just in case, ya know.

[Bluebear]

15. LOl true dat n/t

[WhiteTara]

16. do something? He's supposed to Do something?

that was in the job description? :sarcasm:

[wli]

17. nothing, he likes seeing common people die n/t

[SalmonChantedEvening]

18. The response to such an act is clear. Invade Atlantis.

Aquaman is to blame. He can swim but he can't hide.

[tlsmith1963]

19. Aquaman...LOL!

emergency order of some type. I don't have a link, probably at whitehouse.gov

[Stephanie]

21. I think that was Jeb

George is "hanging loose" - week FIVE.
