In case you missed it, Brit Hume and his panel incinerated the Dinosaur Pres tonight on "Fox Evening News" regarding the "new secret tapes that prove Bush wanted to kill black people in New Orleans."
The Left's Lies In order:
1. The "confidential tapes" breathlessly released yesterday by Al Prazeera are nothing of the sort. They were released to the entire press last August. AP has simply lied, again.
2. The NOAA weatherman on film said that there was a "20% chance the levees might be topped." Not, desroyed, topped. No one expected the levees would be breached.
3. Gov. Blanco and Mayor Nagin are noted to be profusely thanking Bush for his attention to the storm and his promised help. The lie that they were never informed or promised help is one of the Left's most loathsome lies.
4. Brown says over and over again how much he thanks Bush for his hands-on, hour-by-hour attention to the approaching storm, and Bush's promise to give the Gulf states whatever help they request (they didn't request help until too late, but somehow that's Bush's fault, too).
5. Brown notes that the Civics Domr is 12 feet below sea level and he doubts it can serve as a shelter for NO residents. In response, neither Blanco nor Nagin have a clue or any idea at all what to do. Somehow it's all Bush's responsibility.
6. Harry Reid is shown today blaming Bush for conscientious neglect and suggests that Bush wanted to kill black people/Democrats. This speaks for itself.
Of course, not one word of 1-5 will appear in the New York Whore of the Boston Fishwrap. but it is satisfying to see Fox do its job as a news organization.
Do you notice the MSM always has something in the bag to bring out when the President is on an important trip?

Yes, there is a definite pattern. When he was in South America we were consumed with Fitzgerald, Libby, Plame, IIRC
Laura Bush went to Africa for a week, and hardly an American, except Freepers who look at the daily dose, know she was ever there.
Is this the next Dem spin talking point? Barney Frank was on a local (Boston) talk show this morning, arguing that Bush was guilty of "ethnic cleansing by neglect" in NO, because he wasn't putting money into rebuilding poor neighborhoods. This is to further Republican hopes of making NO "richer and whiter" and so more Republican. Frank says he knows this last because Chris Matthews claims to have heard it from a White House source.
(I don't recall exactly, but wasn't there some talk that it would take a couple of years anyway to put in levees that would be effective against a Cat 5? So Frank wants to move people back into the 9th Ward immediately . . . he is concerned that Mary Landrieu won so narrowly twice, and with not enough black voters in NO she might not make it next time.)
Why Frank -- from MA, of course -- considers himself an expert on NO wasn't explained.
I remain bewildered by Bush's refusal to address the Dinosaur Media's endless cascade of lies. He has the resources but seems to have no will to do so.
Why? He must know the damage being done by unanswered lies from the Main Slime Media. Someone help me out here...
I think Bush regards responding to insane charges as beneath him. He sees a potential for getting into a : "Am not!" "Are, too!" "Am not!" "Are, too!" schoolyard spat. There is no value in it.
Bill Sammons on Special Report Without Brit Hume tonight pointed out that right after Katrina only 13% of those asked put the main blame on the federal government. Now people have forgotten all the bonehead decisions by Blanco and Nagin and the question is simply whether Bush deserves all of the blame or if he should share the blame with "Brownie."
That said, the Bush administration from Day One has never seemed to be interested in fighting back against lies and misrepresentations...maybe to distance him from the conduct of the preceding administration which was constantly manipulating the media.
That should have been Bill Sammon, not Sammons.
Brownie is going to be on Fox News Sunday exclusively. I hope he at least mentions the difficulties that he was having getting Blanco to cooperate.
Thank goodness we have Brit Hume to explain the MSM lies!!
