The Administration's Plan for NOLA Recovery

Link.

That's no joke. YRHT has more on the administration's rejection of the proposed Baker Bill and links to the Pic's report about their stonewalling of a Senate committee investigation. As a friend said to me yesterday, even Joe Lieberman stopped his chronic Shrub bootlicking in frustration.

Team Bush cites "executive privilege" in refusing to cooperate. I've said it before, and I'll say it once again: years ago, with Nixon at the top of the slag heap, Hunter Thompson correctly noted that executive privilege is little more than a modern insistence of "the divine right of kings," and has no place in a government of laws not men.

Here's more from New Pravda.

I'm beginning to think a Billmon proposal from a while back might be worth serious consideration: put the Shrub administration hacks to work repairing the levees--and the assclowns who insist that the "free market" will fix everything can be used as fill.
