The American right responds to Katrina...
Warning:

This is not sappy feel-good PC mainstream media garbage: This is the hard truth about how the far-right's extreme corruption, outright contempt for human life, and unrepentant racism has fuelled about the most despicable response to human suffering since Josef Stalin and Mao Zedong.

The following links will disgust you and may even convince you that quite a few people deserve to spend the rest of their lives in unfathomable pain and misery. I can safely say that -- as far as I know -- none of these people are Black and that none of them were forced to bear the brunt of this devastating catastrophe.

You have been warned!

First, we visit The Nation, where we learn that Christofascist hate monger Pat Robertson and his friends in the GOP and in FEMA are up to their old tricks again:

Operation blessing is corrupt and fraudulent? I mean, we've only known that for about 2 decades.

America's Conmander in Cheat is Hellbent on given his campaign manager, some bigwig ally in FEMA, and his corporate friends as much "disaster relief" as he can:

Meanwhile, Pretzeldent Dumbya intends to turn New Orleans into a giant Black sweatshop, complete with starvation wages and anti-union contracting policies:

Maybe El Bushblo really did need that oxycontin for anal cyst pain relief, as it certainly didn't mellow out his White supremacist tendencies. Just ask Mayor...ummm...Nagin? Nayger? Nigger? With apologies to Fox "News", I'll report, but I'll leave it for you to decide!

Patronage-based incompetence in FEMA? Who knew? Even after Mulroney and Chrétien's fiascos, it seems we have pretty sweet North of the border.

And since we're on FEMA, how about director Michael Brown's bullshitted resume? He's more horse dung than Arabian Knight, I'd say.

Former Clinton advisor Dick Morris -- an extremely conservative Democrat -- more than lives up to his name by suggesting that Smirky the Chimp use Katrina "to anchor his second term and give him relevance and popularity far into his tenure."

Barbara Bush -- likely the most disgusting of the lot -- is apparently on the verge of panic, referring to Texas' influx of New Orleans refugess as "scary". More racism? I'll provide a quote and a link while you can be the judge.

"What I'm hearing which is sort of scary is they all want to stay in Texas. Everyone is so overwhelmed by the hospitality. And so many of the people in the arena here, you know, were underprivileged anyway, so this--this (she chuckles slightly) is working very well for them."

Yep. Losing everything in a catastrophe is surely the way to the good life.

Since we're on the topic of Republican politicians making light of this travesty, how about some choice words from Reps. Richard Baker (R-LA) and Tom DeLay (R-TX):

Baker praises God to some right-wing lobbyists -- "We finally cleaned up public housing in New Orleans. We couldn't do it, but God did." Yep...Looks like another bonanza for developers.

And as for The Hammer?

The blog reported that DeLay "likened their stay to being at camp and asked, 'Now, tell me the truth, boys, is this kind of fun?' " The blogger said the youngsters "nodded yes, but looked perplexed."

Yeah! Losing everything is real fun, asshole.

I guess that's all folks.

Good night, and may your nightmares be less horrifying than mine will be.
