Unless you were one of the countless natural born democrats I saw on TV, heard on the radio, etc. who were complaining that the government hadn't done enough for them, hadn't done it fast enough, or made them wait in line.
Ray Nagin's homies from the superdome chanting about "we need help" like cheerleaders in a high school football game on national news certainly puts a nail in the coffin of the idea that "whining is un-American."
IMHO, it actually makes them look bad in the eyes of the rest of America. The fact that the libs are doing their hand-wringing and not doing a damn thing otherwise is helping to alienate themselves further from John/Jane Q. Public.
