BUSH FAILS TO PREVENT EAST COAST BLIZZARD

Minorities Hit Hardest


As President Bush and his staff cowered in the White House hiding
from the press, the snow continued to pile up on the many poor and
African Amercian victims who could not afford to get out of town or to
safety in Florida.

Crucial supplies of blankets, hot cocoa, popcorn and dark rum, so
essential to surviving the stress of any major snowstorm, lay in
stores undelivered.

"Where is the government? I need my sidewalk shovelled so I can
get out to buy my danged lottery tickets!" said one D.C. resident from his
living room. "Why are we wasting money in Iraq when we could be spending it
here on me?"

Progressive blogs blasted the President for his inaction. "We find
the timing terribly suspicious, just as the Domestic Spying hearings
kick into high gear, what happens? A major northeast Blizzard. Why
now?" wrote one blogger.

Hearings into the Blizzards' effect on hearings are almost a
certainty. Howard Dean has suggested he will call for an investigation once
his new medications kick in and John Kerry took a break from the sporting
activities of the glamourous super-rich in some exotic locale (random
choice: Ice Sailing in Finland) to call for new legislation outlawing
snowstorms.

"The Republican Congress has dropped the ball once again. I have
always been a staunch supporter of anti-snow legislation, except for
certain locations where I ski. Snow has no business on our roads and the
President and Congress knows that."

Calls for impeachment over "SnowGate" as some are calling it
already are mounting as deeply as the snow itself, and what will be discovered
underneath will prove to have a truly chilling effect on the
Republicans, as the inevitable thaw proceeds. Or something like
that.

More breaking news......

Al Sharpton wants an investigation as to why snow is ALWAYS white.

Cheney has stock in Tru-Value Hardware. Do you have any idea how
many SNOW SHOVELS they sold today to the unsuspecting consumer?

I demand to know why FEMA has been so late in reacting to this
storm. THEY KNEW IT WAS COMING!? And yet they failed to have crews in
place to fix the electricity as soon as it went off. It just shows that
Bush and the Republicans just don't care about the people in the N.E.

The Senate needs to investigate this with administration people
under oath.

I'll bet that the great junior senator from N.Y. has opened the
doors of her home to all of the heatless poor of her neighborhood and is
busy baking cookies for them while her husband applies body heat to the
nearly frozen teen-aged girls.

Ban Winter..for the children.
