Grrr "That ran out of steam"
Some wingnut on CNN talking about Cindy Sheehan's August 2005 protest in Crawford.

He conveniently neglects to mention why it "ran out of steam"...

2. Very true
However, I was referring to how the storm knocked her protest off the front pages.

4. No bigs
I was mostly upset at the disconnect of the man's statement. The worst natural disaster in our modern nation, turned into one of our greatest human tragedies because our wingnut president couldn't be bothered...

The selective memories of GOP goons never cease to amaze me.

5. But it had already had its effect -- the downturn in Dubya's fooling of so many Americans.
And Katrina just piled onto that.

Crawford and Katrina delivered a strong one-two punch to Dubya's Misadministration.

6. You'll get no argument from me
I just wish that GOP goon's talky-head, Democratic counterpart would have had the presence of mind to have pointed that out.
