In the wake of severe flood damage for Wayne, Oakland, and Macomb counties, Michigan Governor Rick Snyder issued a state of declaration of disaster on Wednesday, where he made the following comments:
"The flooding that continues to impact Southeastern Michigan is a disaster in every sense of the word. As local and state authorities work around the clock to deal with this situation. It is clear that the significant personal property and infrastructure damage, coupled with ongoing threats to public safety, warrants the state declaration. By taking this action, the state can fully coordinate and maximize efforts to support its local partners.
I'm proud of our communities and residents throughout the region for pulling together in the face of these challenges. Please remember that safety must be our top priority, so I encourage everyone to exercise great caution as the cleanup continues."
Mark Shauer, the Democratic candidate for governor, then made the following response to Governor Snyder's comments:
"Michigan motorists, homeowners and businesses need swift action to repair the damage from this week's historic floods. The response by our local first responders and state troopers has been truly admirable, but now it is time for the State of Michigan to declare a state of emergency and immediately request for federal disaster assistance."
The two men are just playing politics as usual, right? Right... But then Governor Snyder went on the radio and made the following comments when being interviewed by WJR host Frank Beckmann:
"I've been through a lot of things like that, Frank. We just recently had holes in our roof from storm damage to our lake house.
We have a vacation place and we had a limb come down on the roof and had water running through the whole place."
Yes, it appears as if Rick Snyder took the same classes Mitt Romney did, which were called, "TDTAPCS (The Dumbest Things A Person Could Say)" and "EIFP (Empathy Is For Pussies)."
In light of Governor Snyder's radio commentary, I have a feeling he'll make the following statements at some point in his life, if he hasn't already:
- "Poor people may not believe this, but I know exactly what they're going through. I once had an incredibly difficult time affording a new chandelier in my mansion."
- "I may be a man, but I completely understand women's hardships. It's like with abortion, I once had to decide whether to keep my convertible or give it up, and at the end of the day, I knew it would have been wrong to give it up. It was my baby and I wouldn't have given it up for anything in the world, even if it was so beaten up it could have put my life in jeopardy."
- "I can understand why some of those gay people don't like that some businesses won't serve them, but I mean, they're not alone! There was this one time I didn't get served at a place because they only accepted cash and I didn't have any on me. They didn't even have an ATM machine. So, I was forced to take my family to a much fancier place before we went on my yacht and took a well-deserved vacation."
- "Them black people seem to think cops are prejudiced against them and seek only them out on the roads, but that's simply not true. There was this one time I was only doing 75 in a residential area and I got pulled over. I mean, what was that all about, you know?"
- "I can completely empathize with the less intelligent people. After all, they did vote me into office, didn't they?"
"I'm Rick Snyder and I approve these messages."
