Cross//Post: THREE fine Robert Scheer (LAT) editorials on Bush & Katrina

[Nothing Without Hope]

Published in the LA TImes on Sept 6, 13 and 20, they show his insights and his outrage as the Katrina aftermath unfolds ever more horrors and crimes. This Scheer compilation is buried in the Editorials forum and it is well worth a read.

thread title: LA Times/Robert Scheer: Three weeks of insights on Bush and Katrina

The three Scheer titles are:

The real costs of a culture of greed (Sept 6)

Finally fooling none of the people (Sept 13)

A new storm on the right (Sept 20)

The compilation post is languishing unread - it's worth checking out!

AND, you don't have to pay to read the full originals, even the one published on Sept 6.

12. Robert Scheer completely dismantled Christopher Hitchens during a

panel discussion shortly after the invasion of Iraq. They both were guest speakers at the annual L.A. Times/UCLA Festival of Books.

Hitch was so pissed that he flipped off the audience because they were cheering for Scheer.

The three linked articles are excellent samples of Scheer's hard hitting writing style.

Scheer kicks ass.
