Stupid Is As Stupid Does
Bush Jihadists.
Is this the name of some radical extreme right-wing group? A Muslim Fundamentalist organization?
No.
It's what Miami Herald columnist Leonard Pitts Jr. calls Bush loyalists.
This on the heels of Robert Steinback's equally horrid column Wednesday in which he attempts to rationalize post-Katrina blame on Bush in the following manner:
Of course, the usual lineup of right-wing tactical strike pundits did just that, pouncing on evidence that New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin and Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Blanco shared in the mismanagement of the preparation for and aftermath of Katrina -- as if this somehow relieves Bush of his own culpability. In any case, let's keep things in perspective: 76,469 people voted for Nagin in 2002. In 2003, 731,358 people voted for Blanco. But in 2004, 62,040,610 people voted for George W. Bush. So, if the ultimate blame for inept politicians falls on those who voted for them -- well, you get the point.
Such twisted and biased logic deserves to sit there on its own, in all its glory, without rebuttal.
Back to Pitts: if you made it all the way to the end of his awful column, he closes with a question to the reader:
Blue to the left, red to the right even now, even here. This is the nation we have become.
Anybody want to take responsibility for that?
Mr. Pitts: care to take the lead?
Sincerely,
Robert
We'll see if he writes back.

I hear you George.
I don't read the Herald. I never was an aficionado of the newspaper as a medium but the Herald is worst of the worst.
