Dear Mr. Bush
Vacation is Over... an open letter from Michael Moore to George W. Bush
![]() Friday, September 2nd, 2005 Dear Mr. Bush: Any idea where all our helicopters are? It's Day 5 of Hurricane Katrina and thousands remain stranded in New Orleans and need to be airlifted. Where on earth could you have misplaced all our military choppers? Do you need help finding them? I once lost my car in a Sears parking lot. Man, was that a drag. Also, any idea where all our national guard soldiers are? We could really use them right now for the type of thing they signed up to do like helping with national disasters. How come they weren't there to begin with? Last Thursday I was in south Florida and sat outside while the eye of Hurricane Katrina passed over my head. It was only a Category 1 then but it was pretty nasty. Eleven people died and, as of today, there were still homes without power. That night the weatherman said this storm was on its way to New Orleans. That was Thursday! Did anybody tell you? I know you didn't want to interrupt your vacation and I know how you don't like to get bad news. Plus, you had fundraisers to go to and mothers of dead soldiers to ignore and smear. You sure showed her! I especially like how, the day after the hurricane, instead of flying to Louisiana, you flew to San Diego to party with your business peeps. Don't let people criticize you for this -- after all, the hurricane was over and what the heck could you do, put your finger in the dike? And don't listen to those who, in the coming days, will reveal how you specifically reduced the Army Corps of Engineers' budget for New Orleans this summer for the third year in a row. You just tell them that even if you hadn't cut the money to fix those levees, there weren't going to be any Army engineers to fix them anyway because you had a much more important construction job for them -- BUILDING DEMOCRACY IN IRAQ! On Day 3, when you finally left your vacation home, I have to say I was moved by how you had your Air Force One pilot descend from the clouds as you flew over New Orleans so you could catch a quick look of the disaster. Hey, I know you couldn't stop and grab a bullhorn and stand on some rubble and act like a commander in chief. Been there done that. There will be those who will try to politicize this tragedy and try to use it against you. Just have your people keep pointing that out. Respond to nothing. Even those pesky scientists who predicted this would happen because the water in the Gulf of Mexico is getting hotter and hotter making a storm like this inevitable. Ignore them and all their global warming Chicken Littles. There is nothing unusual about a hurricane that was so wide it would be like having one F-4 tornado that stretched from New York to Cleveland. No, Mr. Bush, you just stay the course. It's not your fault that 30 percent of New Orleans lives in poverty or that tens of thousands had no transportation to get out of town. C'mon, they're black! I mean, it's not like this happened to Kennebunkport. Can you imagine leaving white people on their roofs for five days? Don't make me laugh! Race has nothing -- NOTHING -- to do with this! You hang in there, Mr. Bush. Just try to find a few of our Army helicopters and send them there. Pretend the people of New Orleans and the Gulf Coast are near Tikrit. Yours, Michael Moore -------------- Possiamo rimanere in Iraq e salvare tutti a New Orleans, possiamo e lo faremo. Ma per piacere... ![]() Ancora una volta... GRAZIE Michael Moore. LuVi |

Si, grazie di queste perle di demagogia
![]() Se si deve criticare almeno lo si faccia per le cose che realmente non hanno funzionato (per quanto si poteva) non per le boutade ![]()

Attribuisce ciò al fatto che circa 3000 uomini della Guardia Nazionale sono ora in Iraq (per la normale turnazione dei reparti) e non nelle loro caserme. Cita inoltre che il suo governo ha ridotto i finanziamenti all'Army Corps of Engineers (corpo degli ingegneri dell'esercito) per tre anni di seguito. N.B. Gli specialisti dell'Army Corps of Engineers' dovrebbero essere quelli che hanno progettato l'argine di rinforzo che ha poi allagando la città ma non sono sicuro Il tutto è condito da ironia piuttosto spicciola (imho triste davvero). Tralascio il resto visto che è la "solita" visione di Moore. In realtà di critiche se ne possono fare a come è stata affrontata l'emergenza ma queste sono davvero gratuite....oltre che risibili

sfruttare un'occasione del genere per attaccare l'amministrazione mi pare abbastanza vigliacco, soprattutto usando quel tono a volte quasi scherzoso come nel suo famoso Fahrenheit 9 11, intenzione giusta ma toni del tutto sbagliati. |
