Gosh, it looks like Mikey The Beloved won’t attend a public forum any more where the media or recording devices are present – oh yeah, and Kathy Boockvar also (as Mikey’s PR service “reports” here).

Seriously.

How about this then, Mikey – is it OK…

…or this…

…or this…

…or this…

Click here to support Kathy Boockvar and help to erase the mistake that too many voters in PA-08 – in their iron-headed, Teahadist stupidity – made two years ago.

(Gee, I wonder if Mikey is a bit skittish because of this video – the part where he accuses President Obama of treason is between 4:16 and 4:20)…



Also, I know I’m really late any more to all of the dustups in the “blogosphere” (still hate that word), but this tells us that yet another attempt to paint President Obama as a ZOMG BLACKETY BLACK SCARY MUSLIM BLACKETY BLACK ACORN ACORN ACORN SCARY KENYAN SOCIALIST WEALTH REDISTRIBUTOR!!!!! turned into an epic fail.

Yes, this is yet another pointless, stupid right-wing contrivance. However, I think something else needs to be pointed out here.

And that is the fact that, by manufacturing this garbage, our fellow conservative methane dispensers are showing a thorough and utter lack of any regard whatsoever for the victims of Hurricane Katrina.

Should the victims of Katrina be remembered with the reverence of the 9/11 victims? I don’t think it’s possible to answer that question, because any loss of life is a tragedy. However, what unites both catastrophes to me is the fact that our government failed in different ways to protect those among us who they were elected to serve (and yes, I’m thinking of Former President Highest Disapproval Rating In Gallup Poll History when I say that).

Was Obama being a bit of an opportunist by giving his speech that the wingnuts have turned into a cause célèbre? Probably. But at least some politician was trying to speak truth to stoo-pid when it came to trying to rebuild the “Big Easy.”

With all of that out of the way, I’d like to offer this one more time, in the probably vain hope on my part that the next time anyone tries to score political points over Katrina, they’ll crawl back under their respective rocks instead.
