Hmmmm, Sounds Like Bush Doesn't Care About Black People(Welcome, fellow
Radio Equalizer readers!)
According to this
story in the NY Post:
At one point Friday, the evacuation was interrupted briefly when school buses pulled up so some 700 guests and employees from the Hyatt Hotel could move to the head of the evacuation line - much to the amazement of those who had been crammed in the Superdome since last Sunday.
"How does this work? They (are) clean, they are dry, they get out ahead of us?" exclaimed Howard Blue, 22, who tried to get in their line. The National Guard blocked him as other guardsmen helped the well-dressed guests with their luggage.Oh, wait a minute. It's New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin who doesn't care about black people:
Mayor Ray Nagin has used the hotel as a base since it sits across the street from city hall, and there were reports the hotel was cleared with priority to make room for police, firefighters and other officials.Sorry
Kanye West, whom Time Magazine covered just recently as "the smartest man in pop music" (and if that isn't a backhanded compliment, I don't know what is).
Be sure to check out
My Take of the Day on this latter story; he also has a link to the video. Is it just me, or does West seem extraordinarily inarticulate for "the smartest man in pop music".
Hat Tip:
LucianneThis is all part of what Mrs Malkin calls Bush Derangement Syndrome. After 9-11 they were able to put BDS down for awhile, but after four years of having their hatred stoked by the Kossacks and Hatrioses of the world they are in no mood to be reasonable. They have seized on that comment about "nobody expected the levees to break" and I'm sure some liberal bloggers are selling tee shirts already: Bush Lied, New Orleans Died. With 0% of the proceeds going to help the refugees.
Stalin created a cult of personality about himself in the Soviet Union. The Democrats seem to be creating a cult around the hatred of President Bush. It hasn't worked in the past, and it seems unlikely to become more successful in the future. Despite the much-reported low job ratings of some polls, Rasmussen has shown him fairly stead in the
mid-high 40s for the past month.
