Friday, Se! ptember 2nd, 2005
> Dear Mr. Bush:
> Any idea where all our helicopters are? It's Day 5 of Hurricane Katrina and
> thousands remain stranded in New Orleans and need to be airlifted. Where on
> earth could you have misplaced all our military choppers? Do you need help
> finding them? I once lost my car in a Sears parking lot. Man, was that a drag.
> Also, any idea where all our national guard soldiers are? We could really use
> them right now for the type of thing they signed up to do like helping with
> national disasters. How come they weren't there to begin with?
> Last Thursday I was in south Florida and sat outside while the eye of
Hurricane
> Katrina passed over my head. It was only a Category 1 then but it was pretty
> nasty. Eleven people died and, as of today, there were still homes without
> power. That night the weatherman said this storm was on its way to New
Orleans.
! > That was Thursday! Did anybody tell you? I know you didn't want t
o interrupt
> your vacation and I know how you don't like to get bad news. Plus, you had
> fundraisers to go to and mothers of dead soldiers to ignore and smear. You
sure
> showed her!
> I especially like how, the day after the hurricane, instead of flying to
> Louisiana, you flew to San Diego to party with your business peeps. Don't let
> people criticize you for this -- after all, the hurricane was over and what
the
> heck could you do, put your finger in the dike?
> And don't listen to those who, in the coming days, will reveal how you
> specifically reduced the Army Corps of Engineers' budget for New Orleans this
> summer for the third year in a row. You just tell them that even if you hadn't
> cut the money to fix those levees, there weren't going to be any Army
engineers
> to fix them anyway because you had a much more important construction job for
> them -- BUILDING! DEMOCRACY IN IRAQ!
> On Day 3, when you finally left your vacation home, I have to say I was moved
by
> how you had your Air Force One pilot descend from the clouds as you flew over
> New Orleans so you could catch a quick look of the disaster. Hey, I know you
> couldn't stop and grab a bullhorn and stand on some rubble and act like a
> commander in chief. Been there done that.
> There will be those who will try to politicize this tragedy and try to use it
> against you. Just have your people keep pointing that out. Respond to nothing.
> Even those pesky scientists who predicted this would happen because the water
in
> the Gulf of Mexico is getting hotter and hotter making a storm like this
> inevitable. Ignore them and all their global warming Chicken Littles. There is
> nothing unusual about a hurricane that was so wide it would be like having one
> F-4 tornado that stretched from! New York to Cleveland.
> No, Mr. Bush, you just stay the cours e. It's not your fault that 30 percent of
> New Orleans lives in poverty or that tens of thousands had no transportation
to
> get out of town. C'mon, they're black! I mean, it's not like this happened to
> Kennebunkport. Can you imagine leaving white people on their roofs for five
> days? Don't make me laugh! Race has nothing -- NOTHING -- to do with this!
> You hang in there, Mr. Bush. Just try to find a few of our Army helicopters
and
> send them there. Pretend the people of New Orleans and the Gulf Coast are near
> Tikrit.
> Yours,
> Michael Moore

> P.S. That annoying mother, Cindy Sheehan, is no longer at your ranch. She and
> dozens of other relatives of the Iraqi War dead are now driving across the
> country, stopping in many cities along the way. Maybe you can catch up with
them
> before they get to DC on Septemb! er 21st.
