Arianna Huffington: A Karl Rove plant?
I love the emails that I get weekly from Arianna Huffington. If nothing else, they restore my confidence in the ability of Democrats to marginalize themselves to the point of electoral irrelevance.
This week’s is full of huff and puff and blame for Katrina. An instant classic:
And make no mistake, what we saw go down — and not go down — in New Orleans was definitely a crime… a crime that is in many ways still in progress. Sixty percent of the city remains underwater; up to 160,000 homes in the state of Louisiana have been submerged or destroyed; 60 to 90 million tons of solid waste need to be cleaned up; experts warn that it make take “years” to fully restore clean drinking water; and an outbreak of vibrio vulnificus — a cholera-like bacterial disease — has been reported among some Katrina evacuees.
This is clearly going to be a very long recovery process. And the sooner we’ve identified those responsible for the Katrina tragedy, the sooner we can make sure they’re not around to screw up the recovery.
That’s right. New Orleans is underwater. Why? George Bush’s criminal behavior.

As Rush Limbaugh is fond of saying: you just can’t make this stuff up!
