Louisiana Purchase Blamed for New Orleans flood

[thefloyd]

Hannity tried making LBJ culpable for the New Orleans Flood. I almost fell out my rocker laughing so hard.

1. It was those fucking French

they sold us defective goods.

What about the "implied warranty" principle?

[Lasher]

2. Right wingers are also trying to blame...

The "welfare state". I got one of those copy-and-paste broadcast emails that set forth this (ahem) 'argument'. Guess they're trying to blame everything they don't like.

What's next? "It's Medicare's fault"? "If we still had a 19th century social and economic structure this wouldn't have happened"?

3. There always has to be an attack on a American boat of some sort.

Remember that attack of a U.S. ship off the coast of Morocco - about 100 years ago? Apparently Iraq is "payback" for that! At least if you listen to the freepers.

Perhaps there were canoes or something...

4. Damn you, Thomas Jefferson! Damn you to hell! n/t

5. Bush logic!

Intelligent design in reverse!!
