#1 This is clearly the fault of smirking Chimpster Bush McHitlerBurton - if he ratified Kyoto, this never would have happened...

#2 Speaking as one of those who evacuated, the real story of Katrina is that millions of our fellow Americans gave us a helping hand when we needed it, and are continuing to do so to this day. Thank you. And in my case a special thanks to the people of Jackson and Little Rock, who could not have been more hospitable, and to the 'Burg regulars, whose offers of help have been deeply moving (you know who you are.)

#4 Matt found what so many find - we Americans are a bitchy fractious bunch that pull together pretty damn well (except for the Ward Churchill assholes) when needed. That's community writ large - there's always some bad apples...

#5 Headlines are, well, headlines. Retractions and corrections, if they ever come, a buried.

I wish this guy well - and offer my thanks to those who helped each other and those who came to help and saved so many - both are but whispers in the partisan political cacophony. BDS has done far more damage than will ever be recorded.

#6 That's my deep fear too, .com.

I agree - there's a good chance the Dems will take one or the other house in Congress in 06 and perhaps the WH in 08 as a result of this shit. An awful lot of ordinary people have been taken in by the deliberate smear stories.

Anyone else remember the discussion at Daily Kos right after the 2004 election? He and his buddies swore they would throw every charge they could at Bush - ESPECIALLY if it was false.

Looks like they're succeeding. To say I'm disappointed with that a bunch of people on the right, as well as in the center, have been taken in is ... an understatement.

#7 Agree! Why can't they (GOP) get their collective heads in the game and come up with a long-range PR strategy? They appear to be just sitting around, waiting for the next crisis to occur. Are Howard Dean, Der Hilderbeast, and Kennedy THAT difficult to dance with>

#8 The MSM has a lock on the info channel for a large majority of Americans. We here in the blogosphere are few - and fewer still are the sane among us - just look at the traffic figures for Kos, et al, and compare to RB, LGF, et al.

Actually, were common sense actually an extinct instinct, it would be far far worse than it is. Flyover America has, so far, literally saved this country from disaster in spite of the insanity they've been fed and brow-beaten with non-stop for the last 6+ years (to make sure the 2000 election is included). Though it has been a close-run thing.

It hasn't hurt that the Dhimmidonks are approximately equal to alQ and the MMs in their grasp of reality and PR, but they are succeeding.

The kimchi will get deeper down the road, methinks, especially if they actually begin to listen to intelligent Dhimmidonk operatives - there are a few...

Right now, perversely, I'd say Kos and Dean and Pelosi and Reid are actually our (the sane people's) bestest buddies. Go figure, huh?
