MORFORD: The Storm That Ate The GOP
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | 9/14/5 | Mark Morford

Posted on 09/14/2005 7:45:13 AM PDT by SmithL

Who will pity the soulless Republican Party now that Katrina is mauling their regime?

Can you hear that? That low scraping moan, that painful scream, that compressed hissing wail like the sound of an angry alligator caught in a vice?

Why, it's the GOP, and they're screaming, "No, no it can't be, oh my God, please no, this damnable Katrina thing is just an unstoppable PR disaster for us!"

After all (they wail), who woulda thought dissing all those poor black people and letting so many of them die in filth and misery in the Superdome while our pampered CEO president enjoyed yet another vacation would cause such an ugly backlash, such harsh criticism of the glorious, rich-über-alles GOP creed?

Who knew it would lay bare our deeply inbred agenda of social injustice and civil neglect, and our systematic abuse of the country? This storm thing is so not the thing we need right now because, oh my God look, just look! We've been so golden! We've had the run of the candy store! We have been gods among swine!

Can you hear them? Hastert to DeLay to Frist to Santorum to Rove to Cheney to Bush himself, across the board and all down the snickering party line they keen, "It's not fair! We've been planning this regime, this overthrow for 40 years! We've worked so damn hard to drive a wedge into the culture and an ice pick into the heart of the nation, working like demons on meth to mangle this country's economy and sense of pride so as to boost corporate profits and lock down our wealth and empire!"

And now Katrina. . . .

Dear Mr. Morford,
 
Sir, could you explain why you lay the blame for the suffering at the Superdome on the GOP? Are you simply unaware that Louisiana authorities under the command of Governor Blanco physically blocked the Red Cross and the Salvation Army from providing aid to the stricken victims? Have you not heard that the explicit purpose of by those authorities in blocking the charities was to make the situation inside the Dome as uncomfortable and unlivable as possible and thus encourage evacuation? Perhaps you didn't know that organizations under the command of the Federal government were active and plucking survivors from the water within literally hours of the storm's passage.
 
If indeed your column is the result of ignorance, I am more than happy to help alleviate that ignorance and I look forward to your correction. If, on the other hand, you are merely exploiting a tragedy to attack your political opponents and raise a smokescreen to hide the stunning and possibly criminal failures of your political allies... well, I must say that I will not be disgusted but not terribly surprised.
 
Regards,
Me

Who was it that told all those folks to go to the Superdome, again?

It must be the job of the Republicans to rescue the populace from incompetent, corrupt Democrats.

It might be time for the GOP to cede the black vote to the dems and move on to other minority groups. To only focus on one minority group is racist.

Dems need to be justifying to us why, when they run the state and the city, they didn't safeguard their own.

Who's tired of taking blame for incompetent dems?

He described the situation correctly but credited the wrong people for it.

Markie's sporting a little woodie over the political demise of the GOP.

I guess he believes that people hundreds of miles away, and largely unaffected by the hurricane will suddenly decide to arbitrarily toss out their GOP congressman who had no responsibilities whatsoever regarding the emergency response in this disaster.

Meanwhile, all the elected Democrats in the affected areas will be embraced by their constituents for doing absolutely nothing to help them prepare and respond to this crisis.

I guess you can't expect logic from a guy who thinks another man's dirty hairy ass is a sex organ.

"That low scraping moan"

The sound of rabid gays like Morford as they lay scraping on the GayRonicle's stained
carpets having group sex with other rabid gays while dreaming up these wet dreams which pose as news articles.

Gee Mark, we can't tell which of your bodily orifices that sound and stench is coming from.

The party of the bathhouse boys seem to like black Americans living in squalor for 40 years.

I'd say the storm blew the lid of their socialist utopia, and from the sound of their absurd hysteria, they know it.

That's what Mark Morford calls a little Saturday night fun.

On the contrary, Mr. Morford. Katrina has just made us more aware of the low unscrupulousness of the Democratic Party - as if we needed more evidence. It has shown a light on the corruption of the Democrat political machine in Louisiana. And it has pointed out again, in stark relief, the stupid bias of the mainstream media. Finally, it has made some of us more resolved not to aid any of those three groups in any way in the future.

I got a hunch that Miss Morford is more familiar with low scraping moans than most of us ... and in ways that most of us don't really want to contemplate.

Eeewwwww.

The MSM has already moved on from Katrina and the NO fiasco. One, the death toll being so low it took the wind out of their sails, and two, the fact that gross incompetence on the part of the Democratic local and state leadership was impossible to conceal or deny. Another case of 'nothing to see here (now), move along!'

There are those who really, really, REALLY want to believe that the Republican response to the events in New Orleans hurts the Republicans more than it does the Dem'crats. Wish and hope, like weeds, spring unbidden and unexpectedly from the most unpromising of soil, and have as little bearing on real world events as a shooting star overhead.

The FACT is, New Orleans has been a disaster in the making for decades. It didn't start with Ray Nagin, or even Moon Landrieu. Huey Long only inherited an already decadent situation, which he tried to turn to his advantage (and only earned him a sudden death by assassination). In all that time, the Republican party has been conspicuous by its absence. Therefore, every woe that New Orleans, and by extension, Louisiana, have suffered in the past century or more, may be laid directly on the doorstep of the Dem'crat machine politics that condemned fully two-thirds of its constituents into an unending, grinding poverty.

The po' folks endured, and managed to make a cuisine out of crawfish, and dirty rice, and shrimp. The "soul" made itself known in songs of lamentation, and sentimental pining for a world that most of the denizens of that dark city never knew. The awkward living situation forced upon them by the policy of never allowing the talented young an adequate exit from their prison of low expectations and severe penalties for demonstrations of "being uppity" managed to produce not one or two, but a dozen generations of those who never left.

Now they have. To Texas, to Utah, to Arkansas, to Tennessee, to Mississippi, even to northern Louisiana. And once gone, broken out of the prison, they shall never return, now that they have been delivered and seen America for themselves.

Within a decade, this will not be seen as a bad thing.

Except by Dem'crats. They recognize this epochal event as being the watershed beyond which they shall never again gain any significant power on the national level.
