Da Paper Takes a Different View

I'm fucking sick and tired of having to listen to goddamn morons like Cokie Roberts, and it looks like the Pic is too (here's the main page)--Atrios also lets us know that Jefferson Parish President Aaron Broussard is at the end of his rope as well...unfuckingbelievable.

Read Billmon's last two posts again. Think about Grover Norquist's insistence that the Senate must handle the "real" business, namely, the repeal of the estate tax (I wish Grover's mom had strangled HIM in the bathtub back in the day). If you've got the time, take a look at the Special Pic Report (see below) that's so eerily on the mark.

Hearing this administration--and their media hacks--tell us "now's not the time for politics" while they're engaged in NOTHING BUT POLITICS makes me want to hurl. Listening to brain-dead pundits, whose attention spans can measured in nanoseconds, bark and bray about how "this couldn't be foreseen" or "recovery takes time" in light of documented evidence showing decidedly different reactions last year--when the election was at stake--should make the entire country howl. When comparisons to the tsunami disaster show how utterly wanting our government's response has been--well, if that doesn't demonstrate the complete disdain the political structure has for its own citizens, I don't know what does.

...and now I see that Imeldaleezza Rice is getting in on the photo-opping, too. Bitch.
