You've hit the nail on the head there brother. Point for point.

That rates among some of the better rants.

I just witnessed General Honore at a press conference bitch slap the MSM and chattering class experts so hard their ears will ring for weeks. I will wager they will go from their romantic description of him as John Wayne to his becoming a Satan reincarnate.

It was great to behold, as he told them they were full of BS with all their doomsday rumors and all the people sitting on their butts with their computer matrixes as to what should be done for communications and gasoline supplies, to get their tails down there and do it then. For the most urgent job of he and his men were rescue, save lives, assure water and food to those in dire need.

Yeah, I saw that too. I was GREAT! I hate the way these condescending liberal mainstream media reporters always try to trip people up with "clever" questions. They think they're being slick, but everyone can see them coming a mile away and everyone sees their nakedly partisan liberal agenda. No WONDER the media consistently polls lower than politicians and lawyers! Man, you've gotta be a REAL SCUMBAG to poll below lawyers!

Yeah, you're EXACTLY right. Just a few days ago, the MSM was referring to Gen. Honorae as "John Wayne", but now that he has BITCH-SLAPPED one of their snide reporters, he will become a "government hack, covering up George Bush's failure."

Even the CNN and MSNBC hosts right after the news conference (I switched over from Fox just to see what the Communist anchors would say) were chuckling at the way Hononrae slapped that reporter down.

My wife said she saw that too. As I looked for a replay, all I could find was Col. Cowan on Fox complaining how everyone in Washington DC took off early for the Labor Day holiday. My God, first there is Col. Hunt explaining the complexities of this problem...and blaming the governor, and now another Col blaming Bush and DC. I'm getting dizzy keeping track of the BS

I think that people are so jaded by the blame game that pointing the finger at someone just backfires these days. Anytime something bad happens, you can bet that partisans will point their fingers at politicians they don't like irrespective whether they had anything to do with it.

Follow the money on this one; in addition to his gig at Fox, Cowan also owns a private security firm. He's on the Gulf Coast in hopes of landing a government contract to assist in the search and rescue and security ops. I'm guessing that someone from the military or FEMA told Cowan thanks, but no thanks.

FEMA and DOD are far from perfect; but rest assured, the people who need to be on duty are at their desks this weekend--I've spoken to more than a few of them.

We'll leave the "expensive haircuts" to Bill Clinton and his buddy JOSE EBER who gave him a $250 haircut at the LA Airport and caused the entire airport to be delayed by 2 hours... Bill had to "look good for the chicks" after all.

Worth repeating:

The problem was, one hundred and fifty mile an hour winds don’t really care what color your skin is, and massive floods don’t really care what Jessie Jackson or Al Sharpton told you about your “victim” status.

So what have we really learned then? Mainly, that the decades long liberal ideal of “big brother government” coming to rescue you IMMEDIATELY as soon as you get into a jam is, at best, naive, at worst, deadly. We have learned that there is really no substitute for personal responsibility and self reliance. But you won’t hear that on the mainstream media because, well, that’s “red state talk.”

Many on this board are buying the crap about Bush not acting fast enough.
