Ah, the poetic justice of the RNC and George getting bitten in the ass by someone else’s sound bite. Somebody put Kanye West in charge of the Dems messaging, please.
Five days in this motherfucking attic
I can’t use the cellphone I keep getting static
Dying ’cause they lying instead of telling us the truth
Screwed ’cause they say they’re coming back for us, too
but that was three days ago and I don’t see no rescue
Swam to the store, tryin’ to look for food
Corner store’s kinda flooded so I broke my way through
Got what I could but before I got through
News say the police shot a black man trying to loot
Think so, eh? Wait until the message goes out: “Remember who it was that gave you $2000 in cash after the flood? Vote Republican!”
Any sort of big disruption like this is an opportunity for spin and graft and bribes and propaganda. The Dems haven’t been doing too well lately against the administration, and my bet is that Bush and friends will spin this whole mess to their advantage…
Hmmm…seems like “Remember who left you to die with no food and no water and no help” might trump the cash…people remember little things like that. Particularly when they are even unable to recover their dead and missing loved ones.
I heard on AAR this afternoon that the program is only going to be done in three cities — Houston, San Antonio and somewhere else, I can’t remember where. No one else is going to get them. Not that they’re going to hear about this in the camps.

$2000?????
Tell me what does that buy… can you put a deposit on an apartment? buy a car? That is enough to buy food and clothing for a family for two weeks…
Yup, you’re talking sense. I’m talking about political spin, elections in 2006 and 2008, and people with short attention spans. And spin.
an entire family of 4, to use President Bush’s term.

That shit is hot… Love the Ray Charles sample…
Thought you might want to know that I sent the link to this diary to Crooks & Liars…
C&L posted a link to your diary here!
Look for the Booman Tribune link…
It leads right here!
laughs Oh, this improved my day so much that I can’t even begin to express it. Where can I buy a copy?
oh I’m just a little white mother of three and I just can’t stop playing that rap. Awesome!
