Agreed—but Bush should have come down hard-right away—not in a desperate, unhinged way, but in a controlled, forceful manner-laying the cards on the table about the douchebag incompetent Nagin, the dithering idiot Gov. Blanco, and in a teachable moment, about the feral, ignorant, animalistic “culture” which reared it’s ugly head in N.O—the culture of “I gots RIGHTS!” without taking any responsibility, the lawless idiots raping in the Superdome, looting CDs at Wal-Mart, the one solid citizen shooting at a rescue helicopter, causing a 24-hour delay in expanded efforts coming in.
And, also the misguided assbags allowing this dysfunction who had nothing better to do in New Orleans before all this happened but to pass a law taking George Washington’s name off a New Orleans school in the late 1990s because he was a slaveholder— (it’s been 12 years since that law—you can tell it’s made a big diiference what with all the Rhodes Scholars coming out of the N. O public schools /s
There were free blacks in N.O. who owned slaves. I wonder if their names are still on any buildings there.
