Clift Piles It Deeper and HigherEleanor Clift engages in a
little political looting herself:
I didn’t see the movie “The Day After,” which depicts the desolation and desperation in the aftermath of a nuclear attack.Well, then, why are you using it as a comparison for New Orleans? I didn't see the movie "Sunset Boulevard" which depicts the twilight of a once-famed woman, but I'll compare it to Eleanor Clift.
Things were so bad “you almost wonder if Donald Rumsfeld is in charge,” said Marshall Wittmann, an analyst with the Democratic Leadership Council.Heh, little Democatic wit there.
Bush’s comment that nobody thought the levees in New Orleans would break is false, and he will regret those words just as Condoleezza Rice did her comment that nobody could imagine a plane flying into a building like a missile.This particular charge seems typical of the Democrats. Here's a clue guys. When President Bush said nobody thought the levees would break, he was referring to Monday evening and night. He wasn't saying that nobody ever considered that possibility. The same of course applies to Secretary of State Rice.
Here's the
full quote:
"I don't think anybody anticipated the breach of the levees. They did appreciate a serious storm but these levees got breached and as a result much of New Orleans is flooded and now we're having to deal with it and will," he said.Congress had been planning to eliminate the estate tax, draining billions from a federal budget already reeling under the costs of a war. Marshall Wittmann, who used to advise John McCain, predicts that Bush’s tax-cutting days are over. “We’ve been living in la-la land,” he says. “This is a moment of sobriety when business as usual can’t continue.”Marshall, Marshall, Marshall. Isn't it typical that a former McCain advisor is now working for the DLC?
You know, after 9-11 there were easily 2-3 weeks where the Left in America suddenly stopped being idiots; some of them never went back. But with Katrina the armistice didn't even last 2-3 days.
