Bush to New Orleans: Drop Dead - HARVEY WASSERMAN

[liberal N proud]

George W. Bush is in New Orleans today to deliver a clear and unmistakable message: Drop Dead.

Little in our history can match his administration's astounding non-response to this excruciating human catastrophe.

The weather has been clear since Katrina passed. Bush commands the world's most advanced armada of land, sea and airborne vehicles. The resources to save our brothers and sisters are readily available.

The Bush junta slashed funds for levees, let the wetlands be drained, let the developers rape and pillage. It assaulted those who warned the city would be laid bare to the storms everyone knew would come.

But even from this unelected gang of thugs and thieves, the horrifying abandonment of New Orleans has taken things to a new level.

....
That the federal government has utterly failed in these lethal days is universally obvious.
