I love #10.

10.) If the energy the news media puts into blaming Bush for an Act of God worsened by stupendous incompetence by the New Orleans city authorities and the malevolence of the criminals of the city were directed to helping the morale of the nation, we would all be a lot better off.

12.) The entire episode is a dramatic lesson in the breathtaking callousness of government officials at the ground level. Imagine if Hillary Clinton had gotten her way and they were in charge of your health care.

Scary.

It's not George Bush's fault that there were sick people and old people and people without cars in New Orleans. His job description does not include making sure every adult in America has a car, is in good health, has good sense, and is mobile.

Zinger!

Thanks for posting this. Here, I thought I'd been reading FR non-stop for the past few days, but I take some time off to mow my parents' lawn, and I miss this. I don't see how certain thread police think people know about articles they haven't seen. If you don't know what exists, how do you know what you're missing? Thnaks for sharing what you think is a good article, because it is!

Excellent find! Thanks for posting.

President Bush could have flown his own aircraft to bring supplies to NO and still the leftists would find reason to blame, whine and complain.

When the going gets tough the left flames-out. The right just moves out to the plate and gets the job done.

Ben Stein is great.

These are dark days right now. Yet, in the future, the Old New Orleans will become the New New Orleans--- and Democrats will pay a price for their negativity, criticism and pessimism.

To number 5, I would add the following:

"To which I would add that it is not George Bush's fault that the Mayor is incompetent and failed to follow the city's disaster plan which specifically called for city and school busses to be used to evacuate those who had no transportation. I would further add that it is not the Presiden't fault that the hurricane arrived before the welfare checks did; an excuse used by some for not evacuating, i.e., they didn't have money."

The one good thing about liberals(socialists)......they tend to kill their own.

Beyond that, they are a complete and total waste of skin.
