I hate quoting that ravingly antisemitic old misogynist bastard, but he is extremely quotable, and after hearing Michael Brown try to turn the handling of Hurricane Katrina into a partisan issue, this one fits:
“Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.”
As cited on Salon:
“I don’t want to make this partisan,” Brown said, delivering the day’s most disingenuous line. “I can’t help it if Alabama and Mississippi are governed by Republican governors, and Louisiana is governed by a Democratic governor.”—Michael Brown
Every day, I wonder just a little more why decent people aren’t rising up and rioting in the streets. Then I remember that it’s because we’re too busy wondering who’s going to be voted off “America’s Next Top Model” next. (And I include myself in that bit of damnation.) But honestly, will the Bushies truly stop at nothing?
That’s a rhetorical question, of course. They’ve already amply demonstrated that they won’t.
