Maybe this will answer your question. Scarborough used to be my congressman and I was proud of that. Here's what I wrote to the Pensacola News Journal:
In the days immediately following Hurricane Katrina, President Bush’s political opponents rushed to denounce his efforts to provide emergency relief to the area.
Forget that President Bush declared Louisiana a disaster area before the governor did, people like Robert Kennedy, Jr., Al Sharpton, and Hillary Clinton blamed the President for everything from causing the hurricane to delaying relief because of New Orleans black skinned residents.
Crisis reveals character and interestingly Joe Scarborough took this opportunity to align himself with those of the extreme Left.
Joe’s ravaging comments did nothing to help the logistics in any way. All he did was add fuel to the fire of those that dedicate their lives to defeating every aspect of the Bush Administration.
It is understandable that the mayor of New Orleans and the governor of Louisiana would rail on the President; first they must cover their enormous failings; second, they are Democrats.
Qatar and Kuwait offer hundreds of millions of dollars in aid yet Joe took the opportunity to dance on the graves of Katrina’s victims in order to blast the President.
I don’t know why he did that, but he permanently lost my vote for any office for which he may run.
Very good letter. I sent Joe an email complaining about his Bush bashing, but didn't get a response. It's nice when someone else seem to share your political opinion....thanks.
