LMAO!! Mother Nature prevents Bush from visiting my area for Earth Day

[Clark2008]

George Bush was supposed to visit my area - the Great Smoky Mountains National Park - for a celebration of Earth Day.
The skies this morning were beautiful and clear. I had a job interview and encountered very little traffic since the weather was so peachy.
Then, about 30 minutes ago - just MINUTES, literally, before Bush was to arrive at the airport - storms and high-speed winds RAPIDLY engulfed the area, forcing Bush to cancel his engagement at Cades Cove in the Smokies.
According to the local news, they're not even sure if he'll be able to land at the airport because of the storms.

:rofl: Hey, Georgie! It's not NICE to RUIN Mother Nature.

1. Wow, Gaia fights back!

I hope he takes the hint

[shadowknows69]

20. I love it

thank you Mother Gaia.

[TK421]

2. You know things are bad when Gaia gets pissed

}(

[Hobarticus]

3. Oh, she does have a sense of humor, doesn't she?

I like how Mother Nature waited until the last minute. Perfect.

[shadowknows69]

25. You think shrub has a specific group of SS agents

whose sole job is to jump in front of stray lightning bolts?

[loritooker]

4. I love Cades Cove; glad he won't be able to make it. nt

[RebelOne]

23. Right, I've visited Cades Cove and I am happy

the idiot won't be there to contaminate it.

[hatrack]

5. HAHHAHHAHHAHHAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is just perfect. Not that Bush will care, but watching Nature vote no on Bush is priceless!

[Clark2008]

8. And this was a HELL of a storm, too!

I had shut off my computer and taken the dogs into the hallway in case of a tornado! That's how bad it was! In just MINUTES.

LOL... news is saying he will land, give a statement and then turn around and head back to DC... no Cades Cove for SURE for Shrub... hee hee.

[hatrack]

12. Lovin' it!

Not that anyone really gives a hoot in hell what Bush says on Earth Day. Not that he himself believes a single syllable of his smarmy green bullshit.

But to have Nature put her foot down and prevent him from even squawking his photo-op platitudes is bloody marvelous!

[Clark2008]

13. It gets better

Now that the decision has been made to cancel the visit - the skies are clearing up and the sun's peaking back through.

This is just priceless!!

[hatrack]

16. Short of Gaia taking up a new sideline as a skywriter . . .

I can't think of how this could possibly be any better. :hi:

[soup]

17. How much do I love this? Thank you - and Mother Nature.

too funny.

(Did the job interview go well?)

[FreedomAngel82]

24. Even more proof

that mother nature said "no" to Bush. Hahaha!

[elehhhhna]

6. GWB Quote 3/9/05:

PRESIDENT BUSH: " Well, I think one thing -- I'll never forget my trip to Bucharest -- it was the rainbow speech. (Laughter.) It was a mystical experience for me. It was one of the most amazing moments of my presidency, to be speaking in the square, the very square where Ceausescu gave his last speech. And the rainbow that I saw in the midst of the rainstorm ended right behind the balcony from my point of view. It's a clear signal that, as far as I was concerned, that freedom is powerful..."

So what does he make of todays portent?

[CottonBear]

9. It's not nice to piss off Mother Nature.

:evilgrin:

[ernstbass]

7. The wrath of Mother Earth!!

[swimmernsecretsea]

10. Excellent work, Gaia!

We all appreciate it, even if we don't tell you enough.

[maxsolomon]

11. best news of the week

don't you DARE desecrate cades cove, pretzeldent sociopath.

[soup]

14. Oh the weather outside is frightful

but I find your post delightful
and as long as it spoils Bush's campaign
let it rain
let it rain
let it rain

:D

18. You're so LUCKY!

We want to go see the new Lincoln Museum in Springfield, but have to wait until they fumigate the building and sterilize the area where idiot-in-chief was. :evilgrin:

Mother Nature has had enough of his crap! Here's to Mother Nature! Here's to Earth Day! :toast:

[Clark2008]

19. Mother Nature - 1

Bush - Zip-a-dee-doo-dah!

[Clark2008]

21. whoops!

:rofl:

[FreedomAngel82]

22. That's great!

Lol. Mother earth is mad at Bush! LOL! Yeah! That's great!

[Radical Activist]

26. Considering how much his Clear Skies act would pollute the smokies

that was very appropriate.

[MADem]

27. Everywhere he goes, it pisses down on him

Remember his first inauguration? His appearance at the Clinton library? There were even dire warnings about the wx at the Pope burial--the wind was whipping through the piazza. And now this...

It just ain't NICE to fool with Mother Nature!

[spanone]

28. Mother Natures way of keeping shit out of the Smokies.

George was in a hurry to get to the western 'ranch' white house. He spoke for ten minutes in a hanger and was gone. He could give a rat's ass about the environment.

[bklyncowgirl]

29. Earth to George...

It's not nice to fool Mother Nature.

[paineinthearse]

30. This deserved a "greatest" vote

....but the 24 hour clock had expired.

I tend to vote for posts of personal insight and activism.
