Flood waters burst Bush's bubble

[Loge23]

Excellent commentary in today's Palm Beach Post by Jac Wander VerSteeg, their deputy editorial editor.

2. Excellent editorial

It cuts to the heart of what is the nature of the Beast's presidency: disconnect, dishonesty and ineptitude.

Thanks for posting and welcome to DU, Loge23!

7. Isn't Palm Beach heavily Repub?

[Loge23]

8. the island is...

but Palm Beach county, as a whole, is not. The "kingdom" of Palm Beach, the island, represents a small portion of the population and land mass of the county. They have their own paper over there.
The Palm Beach Post covers the county of Palm Beach and surrrounding areas (Martin & St. Lucie).

9. That would be Singer Island, right? West Palm?

[Loge23]

10. not Singer Island

No, Singer Island is just north of Palm Beach and consists mainly of condo buildings. The Palm Beach inlet separates the two. Palm Beach is due east of West Palm Beach. Singer Isl is east of Riviera Beach (which really isn't a beach at all, but a town just north of West Palm!). Now I have you totally confused I'm sure!
Palm Beach consists mainly of private homes and estates. There are a few condo buildings on the beach but not many.

13. I was there 25 years ago

Played at a place called the Greenhouse on Singer Island for a week. Stayed at the other Greenhouse on the mainland. Yes, I am confused.

I want to see the bushco gangsters hit as hard as the Gulf Coast was--wiped off the map!

[Happy Friday.]

14. Death by Arrogance

George W. Bush, a president who campaigned (based on his own vice-president’s representation) on the premise that electing John Kerry would threaten our nation’s security. George W. Bush, a president who campaigned on the promise that he could better protect America. George W. Bush, a president who insisted during the debates that he had not made a single mistake his first term in office. (Perhaps, just for the sake of humility and respect for those lost, he could have at least said, “I wish I had done more to prevent 9/11.”)

The current administration is so arrogant that it actually blamed people for not leaving New Orleans before the hurricane -- without any appreciation for the fact that many had nowhere to go and no way to get there.

Death by Arrogance: 9/11. Afghanistan. Iraq. Madrid. London. New Orleans.

The outrage over our nation’s current leadership has been slow to reveal itself; often easily dismissed by the right as partisan criticism. Unfortunately, I am not convinced that even recent events are sufficient to convince the nation of the horrors that still lie ahead, if left unchecked.

Happy Friday. http://happyfriday2008.blogspot.com/
