United States of Shame [THERMONUCLEAR BARF ALERT!]
New York Times ^

When the president and vice president rashly shook off our allies and our respect for international law to pursue a war built on lies, when they sanctioned torture, they shook the faith of the world in American ideals.
When they were deaf for so long to the horrific misery and cries for help of the victims in New Orleans - most of them poor and black, like those stuck at the back of the evacuation line yesterday while 700 guests and employees of the Hyatt Hotel were bused out first - they shook the faith of all Americans in American ideals. And made us ashamed.

When Dowd, Krugman, Rich, and Herbert rashly shook off the bounds of reason and decency, they shook the faith of all rational people in the respectability of the New York Times.
When they were deaf for so long to the projectile vomiting induced by their putrid writings, they shook the faith of all Americans in American ideals. They made us ashamed to call them journalists, they made us ashamed to call the New York Times a newspaper, and they made us ashamed to think that our society massively funds such vermin as Dowd-Rich-Krugman-Herbert. Here's a proposal for adding to the aid funds for the victims of Hurricane Katrina: let the New York Times close its doors, fire its worthless 'journalists', sell off all its assets, and donate all the proceeds to worthy charities helping the victims of Katrina. That's by far the most valuable thing they can do for our country.

If there were a prohibition against posting Dowd's crap on FR, I sure as hell wouldn't complain. I don't know how people get off on reading that crap.

Who on earth could have known that Osama bin Laden wanted to attack us by flying planes into buildings? Any official who bothered to read the trellis of pre-9/11 intelligence briefs. I defy ANYONE to point to a pre-9/11 intelligence brief that described an attack by flying planes into buildings. It doesn't exist.

30 percent of the National Guard and about half its equipment are in Iraq. And just what would they do with the heavy artillery and Abrams tanks of the deployed armored units if they had them in New Orleans?

"Nobody locally is happy that the levees can't be finished" Did you know that the 17th Street levee that failed was one of the ones that WAS FINISHED? Nothing like a fact to spoil a good Bush bash.

Ron Fournier of The Associated Press reported that the Army Corps of Engineers asked for $105 million for hurricane and flood programs in New Orleans last year. The White House carved it to about $40 million.IN THE 2006 FY BUDGET!!! There's nothing any of that money could have done to help in the Katrina situation, because it hasn't even been allocated yet, much less spent!

Thanks, that's really the only reason I could ever post Dowd: to enjoy all the great pics of Catherine Zeta-Jones that would follow.

It would be one thing if President Bush and his inner circle - Dick Cheney was vacationing in Wyoming; Condi Rice was shoe shopping at Ferragamo's on Fifth Avenue and attended "Spamalot" before bloggers chased her back to Washington; and Andy Card was off in Maine - lacked empathy but could get the job done. And of course MoDo was last seen in New Orleans manning a bulldozer fixing the levee, cooking food at the Superdome, and manning the wench on a helicopter taking people off of rooftops.
