This quote takes some beating "The good news, if there can be good news, is that out of this will come a great Gulf Coast" (banghead) Well that'll cheer people up!(dancin)
he also said summat like "the big and enormous disaster" not sure what you call it when you say basically the same thing twice - tautolgy? Any brains still reading today? alack and alas, no (see what I did there?)
RE: he also said summat like "the big and enormous disaster" Hearing the full speech it's made clear what is meant - i.e. they will rebuild it and it will be better than ever, but why not just say that as asign of determination rather than saying "hey the good news is you'll have a nicer house", sort of like someone breaking into your house and knicking all your stuff and you thinking "oh well I'll get nicer stuff instead"! He needs to get some new speech writers!
yeah, it's like "would you like the good news or the bad news" "we're going to make New Orleans a better place" unfortunately, you'll have to be homeless for 6 months while we do it. I've just heard El Presidente was told 4 years ago it was on a potential disaster list...such foresight. Still, aren't these hicky southerners exactly the ppl who voted him into office?
THERE'S an idea... "New Improved New Orleans" "New Improved Even Better Than The Last New Orleans Or Your Money Back New Orleans". Maybe get a sponsor in an' all..."Emirates Airways New IMproved..." etc See, George was right. Could be a GOOD THING. Get the sponsors in, get the city rebuilt for nowt. Maybe even make a profit. I feel the ghost of Adam Hinchcliff upon me here tho...
I'm guessing here, but... maybe it's in France? (The French used to own this part of America, before they sold it)
The thing that cracks me up with Dubya is that, no matter how serious the subject matter he can't deliver his lines without a big gormless smirk on his face. Someone should tell him to practise talking in front of a mirror without smirking. It does him no favours. ff Makes him look like he doesn't understand the gravity of the situation. Makes him look a puppet.:$
