\nWhite House Enacts a Plan to Ease Political Damage<\/strong>

\n\"BULLSHIT<\/div>\n

WASHINGTON, Sept. 4 – Under the command of President Bush’s two senior political advisers, the White House rolled out a plan this weekend to contain the political damage from the administration’s response to Hurricane Katrina.<\/p>\n

It orchestrated visits by cabinet members to the region, leading up to an extraordinary return visit by Mr. Bush planned for Monday, directed administration officials not to respond to attacks from Democrats on the relief efforts, and sought to move the blame for the slow response to Louisiana state officials, according to Republicans familiar with the White House plan.<\/p>\n

The effort is being directed by Mr. Bush’s chief political adviser, Karl Rove, and his communications director, Dan Bartlett. It began late last week after Congressional Republicans called White House officials to register alarm about what they saw as a feeble response by Mr. Bush to the hurricane, according to Republican Congressional aides.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\nHe was an angry little dude with a horrible attitude
\nAnd he’ll show you some gratitude
\nIf you let him ruin your mood<\/a>
\nEverybody knew about him from here to Baton Rouge
\nHe remind me of the crazy lost cousin of Mr. Scrooge
\nWord to mother<\/p>\n

[Jim Carrey]
\nYes, it’s my favorite day
\nYou let me take all your gifts
\nAnd just yell my name!!
\n(MR. GRINCH)
\nAfter that I’ll be on my way
\nJust to return and successfully ruin your day

You’re a mean one, Mr. Grinch.
\nYou really are a heel.
\nYou’re as cuddly as a cactus,
\nYou’re as charming as an eel.
\nMr. Grinch.<\/p>\n

You’re a bad banana
\nWith a greasy black peel.<\/p>\n

You’re a monster, Mr. Grinch.
\nYour heart’s an empty hole.
\nYour brain is full of spiders,
\nYou’ve got garlic in your soul.
\nMr. Grinch.<\/p>\n

I wouldn’t touch you, with a
\nthirty-nine-and-one-half foot pole.<\/p>\n

You’re a foul one, Mr. Grinch.
\nYou’re a nasty, wasty skunk.
\nYour heart is full of unwashed socks
\nYour soul is full of gunk.
\nMr. Grinch.<\/p>\n

The three words that best describe you,
\nare, and I quote: “Stink. Stank. Stunk.”<\/p>\n

You’re a vile one, Mr. Grinch.
\nYou have termites in your smile.
\nYou have all the tender sweetness
\nOf a seasick crocodile.
\nMr. Grinch.<\/p>\n

Given the choice between the two of you
\nI’d take the seasick crockodile<\/a>.<\/p>\n

You’re a rotter, Mr. Grinch.
\nYou’re the king of sinful sots.
\nYour heart’s a dead tomato splotched
\nWith moldy purple spots,
\nMr. Grinch.<\/p>\n

Your soul is an apalling dump heap overflowing
\nwith the most disgraceful assortment of deplorable
\nrubbish imaginable,
\nMangled up in tangled up knots.<\/p>\n

You nauseate me, Mr. Grinch.
\nWith a nauseous super-naus.
\nYou’re a crooked jerky jockey
\nAnd you drive a crooked hoss.
\nMr. Grinch.<\/p>\n

You’re a three decker sauerkraut and toadstool
\nsandwich
\nWith arsenic sauce.<\/p>\n
