Mardi Gras Officials Contemplate New Politically Correct Term For 'Float'
- fake headline at Broken Newz.
Great moments in television
CNN's Jack Cafferty seems none too happy with WH svengali Karl Rove appointing himself head of the Katrina rebuilding effort:
CAFFERTY: [T]here's President Bush's chief political advisor, Karl Rove. You remember him. He was implicated in the release of the CIA agent's name to Bob Novak. Remember the e-mails that tied him into that? Remember how President Bush said 'if anybody in my administration is connected to the release of that name, he'll be fired'?
Well, Karl's not been fired. Karl's now going to have a major role in the $200 billion that's going to be spent on Katrina reconstruction. The administration has done such a tremendous job during the actual hurricane itself that, of course, it only makes sense then for them to manage the spending of the $200 billion to rebuild the Gulf Coast. What a lovely idea.
You know what they need? They need a guy like Tom Kean. A dollar a year guy from the outside with integrity. And they need a controller. Somebody to sit there and make people justify the expense of the money.
Anyway, here's the question. How much should Ray Nagin and Karl Rove have to say about what happens in New Orleans?
Tom in Houston writes: Rove, you've got to be kidding. He only knows about tearing down the opposition, and not a thing about building anything.
Wilson writes: The voters chose Ray Nagin, but Karl Rove should be washing dishes in a prison kitchen for outing a CIA agent.
Beau in Salem, Virginia: I don't fault Nagin as much as some, but Karl Rove. Give me a break. Bush appointing his chief political adviser to oversee this debacle tells you all you need to know about where out president's priorities lie. Covering his butt, and making sure his rich pals get even richer.
