Tell me, when did you ever see so many who are so quick to start slinging mud and playing the blame game after such a major disaster? We could be looking at 10,000 dead after the largest natural disaster in our history and the dams are using it for political gain. They don't even have the tact to wait until things smooth out before they spew their venom.

Now they are trying to use the NO disaster against John Roberts.

Seems as if this hurricane is a test for the leadership ability of the Democratic party as well.

Once again, politicians dancing in the blood of the innocent to further their own political power.

It's perverse.

Man, I'm pissed about all of this partisan crap. Kennedy's going to change his questioning to

emphasize the racial disparities revealed by Katrina's destruction
I've been inclined, lately, to give a pass to the majority of sour-grapes loser types and the Cindy Sheehan crowd. But this latest round takes the cake. Using this kind of human tragedy to further an agenda is shameless.
He can be fixed -- you can't.

So rather then responding to the criticism with a solid rebuttal or facts, it's best to just criticize the people with the message for being insensitive.

Just like criticizing the president in a time of war is unpatriotic right?

My sig is 1 pixel too big.

Number one: We're not talking about mere "criticism" here. It's blatant finger pointing and wild accusations.

Number two: ANYONE pointing fingers, are doing so WITHOUT facts. We barely have the flood under control, people are STILL in need of rescue or relocation, and we don't even have a reliable figure on how many dead there will be and these morons just KNOW who screwed up, how they screwed up and why.
