Peter Kirsanow at NRO:
"When that big asteroid finally heads toward Earth, who’s the person you’d most want to be in charge?" I suspect Cheney would score at or near the top.
Of course liberal commie atheist abortion socialists that we are we never thanked Cheney enough for keeping us safe from asteroids for seven full years! Who else would you want at the top when a threat like that shows up ? Based on past experience, Let's see how he and his party would act would act:
(Cheney) There is no asteroid coming
(Scottie) Some scientists doubt the asteroid is coming, reports inconclusive
(R Senator) Asteroids coming to hit earth is part of nature
(Malkin) It happened before and we are still here..
(Rush) Dinosaurs died because of it ? They brought it on themselves for being atheist socialist commies
(Cheney) We have classified proof the asteroid has been deflected
(MSM) We have killed the asteroid's second in command
(Beck) Obama will make asteroids rain on your neighborhood
Or more specifically:
- When science foresaw a risk to us that would be costly to fix: Global Warming, Katrina
- Bush & Dick denied it existed
- Hired PR and Lawyers to run scientific agencies and keep alarming reports out of the public eye
- Cut programs aimed at avoiding or mitigating the risk
- Cut any disaster relief fund
- Use the National Guard troops and equipment for other activities
- Started a campaign to discredit any science that said an inconvenient truth
- When something bad happened that needed them to act: 9/11, Katrina
- Screamed "it wasn't our fault"!
- "No one could have predicted..."
- Lied about dangers on the aftermath making hundreds of volunteers sick
- Exploited the event incessantly for PR and fund raising
- Used it to fund their pet projects
If NRO idiot thinks that is what everyone wants "when that asteroid comes" he is even more deluded than Cheney!
