Hennessy’s View

Despite promises from Barack Obama that his campaign would drop attacks on its Republican rivals during Hurricane Gustav, that walking hunk of excrement, Joe Biden, broke the promise and ripped into John McCain today during a stump speech.

The only guy in America in a position of some authority who is out of sync with the whole rest of the world is John McCain.

Earlier in the day, Biden skipped out on a planned appearance at Labor Day parade in Pittsburgh, Pa., saying,  “I think it’s totally appropriate that elected officials march here in Pennsylvania, but it shouldn’t be a day for national politics,”he said.

I’d like to punch that s.o.b. in the nose.

I’ll dispense with hyperbole and sarcasm.

I want to congratulate and thank the people who are making Gustav a better experience than Katrina.

The People of the Gulf Coast

You rebuilt, prayed, and left your homes, business, and schools in God’s able hands.  You were rewarded, or will be, for, not only your wisdom in retreating from nature, but your perseverance and faith.  You deserve our help, our thanks, and our support.

Ray Nagin

Mayor Nagin was a laughing stock during and after Katrina.  Since then, he’s rebuilt a major American city and guided it through another hurricane.  Those are tough jobs that small men would not take on, particularly after the treatment we gave him 3 years ago. 

Bobby Jindal

Bobby Jindal was not the governor in 2005.  I get the feeling that Katrina would not have been so bad if he had been. He’s been a true leader throughout.  Congratulations to this outstanding governor.

Homeland Security

I still think we should disband this bureaucracy, but they performed well here. 

Army Corps of Engineers

Rivers belong where they can ramble (Stephen Sch

wartz).  You guys disagree with that.  Somehow, you shored up and improved the levees and stood by them.  Good job.

New Orleans First Responders

As always, you put your asses on the line and did the job.  Get a big kiss from your S.O.  And a raise.

George W. Bush

The man in charge.  Everything that went wrong with Katrina was heaped on your shoulders.  Everything that went right with Gustav belongs on your resume.  Congratulations, Mr. President.

John McCain

In the Hanoi Hilton, you said, “no” when self-preservation ran up against your country.  Today, you put your country before your White House ambition.  You deserve great credit for your sacrifices–all of them.

America

Still, and always, the shining city on a hill whose best days are always before us.

Asked about Bristol Palin’s pregnancy, Barack Obama firmly stated that children of candidates are “off limits,” and that anyone in his campaign discussing the matter “will be fired.”

Outstanding.  I watched and heard the interview, and I have no doubt he meant what he said.  His vigor was sincere.

As someone who villifies Obama regularly, I owe it to the man when he comes through.  This time he did.

I hope his minions listen.

More bad news about John McCain’s selection for Vice President emerged tonight.  Sarah Palin was cited for fishing without a license.

CNN is sending a team of reporters and producers to Wasilla, Alaska, to cover this emerging scandal.

The citation does not indicate what she was fishing with or for, but the fact that a would-be Vice President of the United States did, with malice aforethought, cast her line into known fishing waters with the intent of extracting–or reasonably expecting to extract–a live fish demonstrates her unfitness for office of any kind.

No wonder the libtard media are so down on Sarah.

Un-fucking-believable.  Wolff Blitzer has no shame.  His show is devoting the 5:00 p.m. hour to continuing the idiotic rumor that Sarah Palin faked her fifth pregnancy to cover the actual pregnancy of her daughter.

They also spent 10 minutes spinning innuendo over the troopergate fabrication.  CNN’s justification is that Palin hired a lawyer to handle the investigation.  Duh!  What was she supposed to do, hire a veterinarian?  Her political enemies, of which she has many due to her cleaning-up of the GOP in Alaska, have seized upon a family dispute between Palin’s sister and brother-in-law, a State Trooper in Alaska.

Neither story rises to the level legitimate news, but the Democrats are desperate to smear the most dangerous Republican to come along since Ronald Reagan.

Perhaps CNN and Wolff Blitzed should buy a friggin’ newspaper and find real news to talk about.

Shameful.

**UPDATE:  Larry King Devotes Show to Bristol Paliln**

The washed up, withered, and wrinkley waste of flesh known to millions as Larry King decide, in his impartiality, to devote tonight’s program to discussing a 17-year-old girl’s sex life.  Nice.

I wish Bristol Palin would go on his show and tell him to shove his phalic microphone up his hemmorhoid-scabbed ass.

RENO, Nevada–Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) announced today that the battle against Hurricane Gustav “is lost.  New Orleans is lost.  I demand that President Bush withdraw all National Guardsmen immediately.”

Last year, Reid declared the war in Iraq lost, even as the troop surge began to show impressive signs toward ultimate victory.  Today, he made his statement shortly after winds died down in New Orleans, and after the Army Corps of Engineers reported that the levees appeared to hold. 

Reid’s comments were immediately echoed by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA). 

“Senator Reid and I share a strong concern for the safety of our troops deployed into this unwinnable situation” in New Orleans, she said.  “The only thing to do is to withdraw immediately and let the people of Louisiana settle their differences with the weather on their own.”

The White House immediately fired back with a statement read by Press Secretary Dana Perino read this statement in response to Senator Reid:

“The White House is disappointed that Senator Reid would want to cut and run from Gustav recovery.  The Senator apparently wants to leave the residents of New Orleans, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Texas out to dry.  While disappointed, the President is not surprised by Senator Reid’s desire to surrender in the face of victory.  He also wanted to surrender Iraq to Al Qaeda in 2007, and continues to believe that the world would be better off with Osama bin Ladin in charge of the Middle East.”

Reid was in Reno, NV, for a family Labor Day party where he hopes to talk his grandson, Ricky, out of learning to ride a two-wheeler.  “It’s just

dangerous and too hard to learn,” Reid said of bicycle riding.

Not an exaggeration.  Gateway Pundit was an intended target as leftist protestors hurled sacks of rocks and cement on speeding busses of GOP delegates, media, and participants.  The leftards stood on overpasses above an interstate highway and dropped the sacks on passing busses.

A few years back in St. Louis, a woman–recent emigrant from Russia–was killed by a rock dropped from an overpass over I-64 as she returned home from work late one evening.  A heavy object dropped onto a fast-moving vehicle is reasonably expected to cause death or great bodily harm.  Therefore, everyone who dropped a sack, helped drop sacks, spotted, encouraged, or failed to stop or to warn authorities is guilty of attempted murder.  Will they be charged?

They better be.  The best way to stop this nonsense is not deterrence but incarceration.  They can’t reach the bridges from a penitentiary.

Expectedly, the MSM ignore the story.

*UPDATE* 80-year-old man injured.  Maybe we need some conservative counter-protesters who know their way around a hockey stick.

**UPDATE** Powerline reports that a busload of Cub Scouts also came under attack.  The police should have shot the sons-of-bitches on the spot.

Sarah Palin’s eldest daughter, Bristol, is pregnant and will marry Levi, the child’s father, Todd and Sarah said today in a press release [FoxNews.com].

The 17-year-old unwed daughter of John McCain’s new running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, is five-months pregnant, Palin and her husband, Todd Palin, said Monday in a written statement.

McCain’s campaign told FOX News that the presumptive Republican presidential candidate knew about Bristol Palin’s pregnancy before he chose Palin as his running mate last Friday, and that Bristol is planning to marry the father of her child.

The Palins felt compelled to release the information to dispel idiotic left-wing reports that Palin faked her own pregnancy to cover the pregnancy of Bristol.

The left will have a field day with this, mostly because liberals consider the voluntary murder of children through abortion every woman’s responsibility.  By marrying the father and raising her baby, Bristol Palin will demonstrate everything liberals hate.

Momentum Impact

This news should not slow the momentum McCain has picked up since announcing Palin as his choice for Vice President.  It highlights the evil hatred of liberals who forced a private family matter onto the front page by creating unfounded rumors and treating them as fact.

While the publicity of the situation will put strains on the Palin family, it has nothing to do with Sarah Palin’s fitness for office.  Moreover, by marrying and raising the child, Bristol exemplifies the pro-life stance her mother has held throughout her public life.

UPDATE:  Allahpundit has more.

CNN (TV, not .com) just reported that the Industrial Levee in the Lower 9th Ward of New Orleans has ruptured under the strain of water and wind, flooding homes and streets throughout the same area that was devastated by Katrina.

The Army Corps of Engineers’ latest release said that levees were overtopped, relieving some pressure, but all levees were holding.  It’s possible that the CNN’s reporters doesn’t know the definition of a breech.  It’s also possible that the Corps of Engineers’ release was simply older than the breech occurrence.

**UPDATE**

The reporter who said the Lower 9th Ward is flooded has disappeared from CNN’s coverage, and now the network anchors are reporting that all levees are holding.  It appears that the reporter simply didn’t know the difference between overtopping and breeching.  Breeching usually refers to an actual rupture in a levee.  What the video shows is overtopping, wherein high winds push water over the top of the levees. 

**UPDATE**

The Army Corps of Engineers reports that water levels have begun receding at the Army Levee.  A Louisiana emergency manager says, if true, this news would indicate a major turning point and great news.
