I was happy to help Scout in a very small way with a graphic (see below), but the proof of the proverbial pudding, in this case, is in the READING:
Katrina was devastating for Bush in the eyes of Americans and the world. Of course Jonah’s whole point in all this is to shift the blame from Bush to the media. It is that one slim blade of grass upon which he attempts to rest the president high above the awful weedy mess that was the failed federal response. It’s a wholly pathetic attempt at political resurrection and historical revisionism. But given the Bush administration’s massive failure which American saw unfold before their very own lying eyes (thanks to the media) it is all with which he and other wing nuts have had to work. It should all be pilloried for what it is and I’ll take up Jonah’s other “arguments” in the next post.
By all means take a look at Part I, and I'll be keeping an eye out for the rest of the series...particularly after reading Mr. Goldberg's dreck...ah, where to begin? The lies, the lies--blaming "corrupt local officials" for what is the responsibility of the Army Corps of Engineers, repeating the canard about all the money that's supposedly flowed to the region, and suggesting that in Mississippi, things are just swell...finally, for good measure, he brings up 9-11 as some perverse badge of honor...then proceeds to ignore the post 9-11 anthrax attacks, insisting that there "hasn't been a successful attack on the homeland since 9-11."
It takes a mighty big doughy pantload to pack in THAT much dumb. Nonetheless, I managed cut Jonah down to size and squeeze him into a boat--which is more than he'd do on his own:
"No, there aren't any twinkies in the hold."
