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. . . .

Come on, Grampa Dave - I kept averting my eyes when I saw the title on my screen and now you pinged me to it!

No fair.

Do I HAVE to read it?

When is Morford going to his reward? That's all I want to know.

I don't know, what with the sicko psychos in the media and entertainment "industries" lying with abandon, motivated by the basest of raw, subhuman emotions - I feel like finding a cave and holing up for a few years.

How can humans be so driven to trade in hatred and anger? When is the (deleted) MSM going to STFU? All they do is spew the vilest of disinformation and that's on their good days.

I love the way the left uses wishful thinking as a basis for news stories.

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

Actally, the Repubs have been doing it for 50 years.

What was the final total of people who died at the Superdome ? The MSM makes it sound as if it was hundreds.

This, along with EJ Deone (sp?) column, is nothing more than a liberal circle jerk. It is their attempt to "push" this view on the populace at large. They figure, if they write about it enough, it will become a self fulfilling prophecy. Because of the other column, I wonder if this is something that is on this weeks talking points memo for the Democrats. Dream on suckers.

Reminds me of the stupid obsession that the NYT had with that golf course, Augusta, for not admitting women members.. They pounded that story to death, yet it never found purchase..

The maggot infected MSM has driven away most conservative viewers/subscribers. Their continued hatred for GW is driving away ad $'s and moderates.

We just need to continue to label trash like this as what comes from the mentally ill.

A few decades ago, Morford would have correctly been diagnosed as a severely mentally ill person. He would have been on meds and problem locked to protect himself. Now thanks to PCism and the MSM love of hiring the mentally defective maggots like Morford, he is considered to be a hero of the mentally ill lefties.

I've never figured out if Morford is a humor columnist, or if he really believes this junk.

In any event, Texas, which is strongly Republican, took in over 250,000 refugees, and already has them placed in semi-permanent housing. As to the "hate-spitting, psuedo religious bonk jobs", true story:

Emergency Management Coordinator for McLennan County called the Latham Springs Baptist Camp (basically a summer camp facility) and asked "if we needed you to, could you put up some refugees?". In less than a day, they had several hundred beds and over a thousand meals ready, and said they could have three tractor trailers full of food coming within 24 hours. The did this just off the question, "could you?" It turns out they weren't needed, as there were so many offers of help, that Texas absorbed the 250,000 without nearly straining our capacity.

The decadance was the only redeaming quality about New Orleans, and now that is gone.

Biggest and most visible gay community in the Deep South. No wonder Morfie's crying.
