Eye on Winer

Because this post will not likely last for very long, I’ve reproduced it:

I could only watch two minutes of Meet the Press before the disgust came back. Russert is doing what he always does, tries to twist the soundbite into an admission of hypocrisy. New Orleans mayor Ray Nagin doesn’t have the lawyer’s gift that former prosecutor Rudy Giuliani does. “Is it really racism?” Russert expresses doubt, asking over and over for proof that decisions were made on a racist basis. The answer is in another question. If the dying tax-paying grandmas were white do you think they would have been allowed to die? I don’t care if a Republican actually said out loud that he or she hates blacks, the actions speak for themselves. We live in a sick country with a sick governing process, and that sickness definitely includes the press.

Is it really that unfair to ask for proof of racism?

And why is it that Mayor Nagin is permitted to cry racism? Does he hate black people, too? There are two levels of democrats to be pointing the finger at in line before the Bush administration… why is it so important to skip those two levels and lay this at the feet of the president? Just so he can call Bush a racist?

Well, I guess whatever he needs to do to feel like he’s justified.

Then again, if Dave thinks the country is so sick, I’ll his one-way plane ticket out of the country, so long as he never comes back.
