Michael Moore's letter to Bush

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 to 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 course. 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 September 21st.

Hate him or love him, he usually speaks the truth even if he exaggerates things a bit.

His movies own, it's just that AOL kinda throws it off for me.

He is a fat whale. Fat people aren't funny, except the size of their waist.

Bush and Moore are both a couple of idiots. I think I hate Moore more than Bush though since he's using Bush's stupidity for fame and fortune, while acting like he really cares.

you hate the stupid guy who makes films over the stupid guy running the most powerful nation in the world.

But you're right dude, those films cost lives and bush is pretty much harmless.

No he didn't send them off, but he sure is willing to earn some money off them.

WTF? I didn't say Bush was not responsible for sending troops. I just said Moore is a dick for using the whole deal as a source of income.

Incase you didn't know Moore has been making movies and documentaries for a good decade.

He is a film maker for fucks sake. Do you expect him to live out of the back of his truck?

No, but I do expect him to do his documanteries like most other people do them and put them on pulic television. He's fat for a reason. His "oil" is exposing peoples drama for profit. He's a cunt hands down, and to many people are lining up to suck his dick it seems.

Post by **Mr.Magnetichead** » Sat Sep 03, 2005 8:49 pm

So you don't like him because of the size of the screen his films have been shown?

You're a fucking moron.

I surpose you hate the guy who made the recent 'March of the Penguins' too then.

Where in the hell did I say that? At what point did I say I don't like him for the size of his movies? Why are you so fast to protect him anyways? Is his movies and his word your gospel?

Post by **Mr.Magnetichead** » Sat Sep 03, 2005 9:00 pm

Fuck no. I just think you're a retard.

Looks like you're at a loss for words I see. So now all you have left is some high school name calling eh?

Post by **shiznit** » Sat Sep 03, 2005 9:07 pm

He also donates quite a bit, so don't be stupid and trash him for brining awareness to the mainstream.

He does exaggerate sometimes but he doesn't lie like bush or fox.

Post by **tnf** » Sat Sep 03, 2005 9:12 pm

he doesn't exaggerate like the director of FEMA did during this whole ordeal...his comments were unbelievable..

Post by **shiznit** » Sat Sep 03, 2005 9:15 pm

Yeah the FEMA director is a complete moron.
