This week's DSCC email comes to us from the smile of one Senator John Edwards, who still remains the only person to have their headshot grace the email's contents, reminding us of his smile and who exactly he is. The subject? Callous Disregard. This should be a good one.
With the anniversary of Katrina approaching, I'm reminded of the pictures of thousands of vulnerable people stranded in the New Orleans Superdome. - And out comes the Democrat's version of 9/11, straight out of the box like a race horse in its prime.
It's a pretty safe bet that George Bush and his Republican allies in Congress don't spend much time thinking about it. They are too busy grandstanding about flag burning and passing even more tax cuts for the most fortunate Americans. - Good point, but there is this whole situation in Lebanon and Israel right now that might be slightly more important. And we wonder if Sen. Edwards will give his massive tax cut back to the government or just go buy another house. We're betting on number two.
In the 1980s, Ronald Reagan demonized poor people as lazy and undeserving with the term "welfare queens." Today, the G.O.P. is using the same mean-spirited and polarizing tactics. Just weeks ago, U.S. Representative John Culberson, a Houston Republican, said he wanted "deadbeat" Katrina evacuees out of his city. - You're a fucking retard, John Edwards, and we refuse to call you Senator anymore. Since Katrina, the murder rate has risen 33% in Houston, and violent crimes are up almost 50%. Three quarters of the criminals caught in these crimes are Katrina evacuees. If we were the mayor of Houston, we'd want these people out too. And notice how Culberson also said he wanted "deadbeat" evacuees out, not evacuees. Who wouldn't want transplanted crminals out of their city? We're done with you Edwards, and angered enough by your stupid comments that we're deleting your email. Go pluck your eyebrows.
