They’ll get the President coming and going, writes Sher Zieve:
After blaming President Bush for the feds response to Katrina, [NBC’s David] Gregory decided to rebuke him for “too much response” to Hurricane Rita’s impending onslaught when he asked the president, at a news conference: “Aren’t you and your entourage getting in the way?”
Gregory may have had a little goalpost work done lately by the fine folks at Sortelli’s Movers and Landscapers. On related matters, John Leo asks:
Which politician emerged from the mess of Katrina as the biggest bonehead involved? No, it’s not Michael Brown, George W. Bush, or even the bumbling Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Babineaux Blanco.
Hint: it’s the same guy over whom the New York Times gushes: “Hurricane Katrina has given the nation a new political celebrity … ”
youngy, don’t miss the power of ‘distinctive shirts and shaved head’ as a way of becoming a folk legend. Now, if Bush would just . . .
Nah. The NYT still wouldn’t like him. On the other hand, if they want to increase the number of people subscribing to their premium op-ed cite, if instead of a crappy video about each columnist they’d make Krugman, Dowd, Brooks, et al shave their heads and wear ‘distinctive shirt(s)’ I, for one, would fork over the 50 bucks if I could download copies of the pics.
Krugman with a shaved head and in a ‘distinctive shirt’—hell, I’d kick in an extra $20 if I get to choose the shirt.

Remember, the NYT thought Michael Dukakis was a political celebrity, too…

Looks like New Orleans likes incompetence and a “its not my fault” attitude in their leaders. We better send Latham over there, they will love him.
It could be worst; the Labor Party might think of Nagin as a good canditate for the next party leader?
