SOON IT WILL BE TIME TO CONVENE A PANEL OF , ER EXPERTS

Yeah, we've heard this all before. This administration screwed up. They've dropped the ball. They've acted in ways that show their utter disregard for regular people. Then, before you can say "Whitewash" a "Bi-Partisan Blue Ribbon Panel" will be appointed, which will label the cause of the screw up with some nebulous sounds-good-but-none-of-our-loyal-minions-have-to-walk-the-plank platitudes about a "massive intelligence failure" or a "massive infrastructure shortfall" or a "Gosh, whod've thunk it" stupid-*ss response which might fly if you're among the brain-dead 35% who think that this Administration's response to this horror has been "good" or "acceptable." They're the ones who think Condi Rice's Manhattan Soiree, enjoyed after the fact of this disaster - didn't need to be canceled in light of the grave calamity that had just visited our shores. After all, they were just poor black folks, who cares? Let her shop for and buy thousand dollar shoes while a big chunk of the Gulf Coast is dying and suffering.
From the fifth circle of Hell, Marie Antoinette is chortling, while Richard Nixon fans the flames adjacent to her.

Personally, I don't think that 35% is the brain-dead. I think they're the greedy. The grasping, the covetous, those folks whose favorite line in "A Christmas Carol" was uttered by the pre-transformed Scrooge: "Are there no Prisons? Are there no Workhouses?" What I don't know is how many of them folks have the requisite lack of shame necessary to call themselves "Christian" without choking on the moniker. The brain dead are the dwindling yet still present number of people who continue to react in purely partisan fashion as if this child of privilege really gave a rat's *ss about regular people. He doesn't.



Neither does this one. And he's still MIA, too.
