Mitt’s Song and Dance Rang Depressingly Familiar

FromAlbum4

Something about thesheer phoniness, the empty and ham-fisted photo op…and then it hit me — this is straight from the Karl Rove playbook (for a while Rove actually ran federal hurricane relief efforts, which was a disaster in itself).

One difference, though, even as the aerial shots of flooded homes was eerily familiar:Bush didn’t deliver his empty promises until almost three weeks after the flood. Geez.

Not that I’d ever think a genuine deity would deliberately kill, maim, or or otherwise harm thousands of innocent people just to ‘send a message,’ but two things — one, the message could be, as much as anything, that global warming deniers are morons…and two, do we really want to return to the days ofHeckuva Job?
