Truth to Power

Good take

But something has shifted. Something is ugly and toxic in the water. This is what, I imagine, the GOP overlords are asking each other over cocktails and baby seal kabobs and whale-blood transfusions: Do you think the people are finally beginning to sense it? Are they finally waking up? You think they know that the fact that Bush is finally taking a modicum of responsibility for his administration’s failure – something he never, never does – is a sign of true GOP desperation? Do you think they recognize that BushCo isn’t really spending a dime on Katrina relief, that the $52 billion they just crammed through Congress without any discussion isn’t actually going toward repairs and rebuilding at all?
