Turn the lights on for C-Plus Nero, then turn them off when he leaves
Posted by Jill | 1:14 PM

I wish I was joking. The one bright spot is that maybe...just maybe...Brian Williams' honeymoon with the Bush Administration is FINALLY over:

I am duty-bound to report the talk of the New Orleans warehouse district last night: there was rejoicing (well, there would have been without the curfew, but the few people I saw on the streets were excited) when the power came back on for blocks on end. Kevin Tibbles was positively jubilant on the live update edition of Nightly News that we fed to the West Coast. The mini-mart, long ago cleaned out by looters, was nonetheless bathed in light, including the empty, roped-off gas pumps. The motorcade route through the district was partially lit no more than 30 minutes before POTUS drove through. And yet last night, no more than an hour after the President departed, the lights went out. The entire area was plunged into total darkness again, to audible groans. It's enough to make some of the folks here who witnessed it... jump to certain conclusions.


In short: They turned the lights on in New Orleans so that C-Plus Nero could spout bullshit for 20 minutes, then turned them off. God forbid the people left in New Orleans should enjoy some of the prep work done for him.

These people who are running this country are so vile it very nearly defies belief. It is clear as glass that the only people who will benefit from Bush's so-called "rebuilding" will be Republican campaign contributor corporations, Bush cronies, and religious organizations.

Once again, the people will be screwed. Because Bush's image is all that matters.

Have I mentioned yet today how much I hate these people?
