Mark Morford’s column in today’s SF Chronicle is apposite. An excerpt:
…it’s so unfair, isn’t it, to attack poor Dubya like this? Just a little misplaced? After all, Bush has always been the rich white man’s president. He is the CEO president, the megacorporate businessman’s friend, the thug of the religious right, a big reservoir-tipped condom for all energy magnates, protecting against the nasty STDs of humanitarianism and progress and social responsibility.
Oh yeah, you forgot the required addition of the parts about Bush helping to introduce crack into urban areas and blowing up the levees in New Orleans. You should not be allowed to read Chomsky for one year to atone for forgetting your DNC issued talking points.
Cordially,

Jonas, you might serve your cause better if you rebutted arguments that were acctually made rather than these hallucinations that your dittohead ilk tend to traffic in.
I’m not sure what Jonas’ “cause” is, except to be the Reactionary Rebuttal to anything that might spark some form of conscience in a scientient being. That being said, I’m still not sure why he would continue to ‘waste’ his time even speaking to us as we aren’t in the proper class to appreciate his wisdom or refute our folly.
I guess he’s right in that it’s all a left-wing conspiracy to claim that there have been poor and neglected people in New Orleans since Capitalism took ahold of the world at large. [Prior to Capitalism we were all just so much property to be slave to whomever was in charge of the closest castle or army.] It’s now only really necessary to help those able to pay for the privilege of receiving it.
