They Said There'd be Alligators and Snakes Coming In With The Tide

The picture on yesterday's New York Times front page just spoiled my breakfast, and herewith I regurgitate. Dubya and Louisiana governor Kathleen Babineaux Fucking Blanco, cheek 2 cheek, wrinkled brows and apparently trembling lips, looking as if they were consoling each other, as if either needed consolation... as if the camera wasn't right there and they'd be projecting empathy for the plight of the devastated and displaced New Orleaners anyway.

Yah! As if...

Blanco, forgetting entirely her oath to the U.S. Constitution and something in it called Due Process, is reported to have actually said, "I have one message for these hoodlums. These troops know how to shoot and kill, and they are more than willing to do so if necessary."

Being a former guardsman myself, I see someone splashing away from me through waste-deep sewage carrying a plasma TV... ? "More power to ya', mon ami! Vio con Dios! Hope that thing floats!" That is to say, in whatever language he might've heard it.

Meanwhile, Dubya once again exhibited how screwed up he and his priorities are by promising to rebuild Trent Lott's house in Mississippi. This mean we're shelving the tax cuts?

So proud to be an American.
