Truth to Power

Just when you thought…

That every scrap of outrage had been used up, from the long years of watching these subhumans in action, they have to go and top themselves…

From the loins that spawned our American Idiot:

“What I’m hearing which is sort of scary is that they all want to stay in Texas. Everybody is so overhwlemed by the hospitality. And so many of the people in the arena here, you know, were underprivileged anyway so this (chuckle)–this is working very well for them.”

Barbara Bush, on NPR.

There will be plenty of time in the future to debate who did or didn’t do what about Katrina. Bush and his minions have already begun the spin, getting caught in a big lie right off the bat, but that won’t keep the wingnuts from calling it the fault of the victims, as usual.

Oh yeah, guess who got a $500 million contract to “clean up” New Orleans? Yup. Our buddies at Halliburton. Sure moved fast on that, at least.
