Those missing helicopters

Michael Moore fires off an open letter to George W. Bush. Moore is always worth a read as he's mastered the knack of making political dissent relevant, timely and populist:

"Mr. Bush, you just stay the course. It's not your fault that 30 percent of New Orleans lives in poverty or that tens of thousands had no transportation to get out of town. C'mon, they're black! I mean, it's not like this happened to Kennebunkport. Can you imagine leaving white people on their roofs for five days? Don't make me laugh! Race has nothing - NOTHING - to do with this!"

  1. shabadoo, you tease Antony like you love him. When will you get over your schoolyard ranting phase? Why don't you just come out and tell Antony that you want to be his monkey of love and get it over with?

  3. Shabadoo...take an aspirin and have a good lie down mate....

    Unfortunately despite S's rantings, it seems race and class has a lot to do with the chances of surviving this week's tragedy in N.O. Interesting though to see the normally compliant "let's all support the Prez" media changing their tune and actually criticizing the Bush administration for a change. Maybe this is what has got Shab all worried!

  5. ...and the feds diverting funds from the financing of a higher flood levee for such activitoes as a little beating up in Iraq? S'pose that was the poor blacks fault too?
