Vindication For Skepticism

My friends, never forget how diabolically biased the media really is, or how decrepit liberalism reveals itself to be when confronted with a real crisis. I have been telling you all from the very beginning that you need to have deep reservations about the way the New Orleans tragedy is being reported. So, those of you who fell into the media's trap (and you know who you are!), raise your right hand and repeat after me:

"I will never fall for the media's leftist spin again."

Now, hopefully this will sink in.

What was that? Are you for real? You're seriously asking me what lesson? Oh, brother, I can't believe you're still under their spell. Ok, here you go my gullible, misguided friends. I offer you the truth as it is now finally being reported.

This is from the editor in chief of the Washington Times, Wesley Pruden (Hat Tip: GOP BLOGGERS).

"The vultures of the venomous left are attacking on two fronts, first that the president didn't do what the incompetent mayor of New Orleans and the pouty governor of Louisiana should have done, and didn't, in the early hours after Katrina loosed the deluge on the city that care and good judgment forgot. Ray Nagin, the mayor, ordered a "mandatory" evacuation a day late, but kept the city's 2,000 school buses parked and locked in neat rows when there was still time to take the refugees to higher ground. The bright-yellow buses sit ruined now in four feet of dirty water. Then the governor, Kathleen Blanco, resisted early pleas to declare martial law, and her dithering opened the way for looters, rapists and killers to make New Orleans an unholy hell. Gov. Haley Barbour did not hesitate in neighboring Mississippi, and looters, rapists and killers have not turned the streets of Gulfport and Biloxi into killing fields."

Boy, I bet the feeling that you've been duped is starting to twist in your belly, isn't it? Sucks, don't it? Well, you couldn't help but think those images on TV, as horrible and disturbing as they were, must have a person to nail for allowing it to happen. The media presented it neatly and cleanly as President Bush's fault so why not call for his head, right? It's sooo tempting it must be ok, just this once, to believe what they say is really the way it is, right?

WRONG! Here's more from Mr. Pruden.

"The drumbeat of partisan ingratitude continues even after the president flooded the city with National Guardsmen from a dozen states, paratroopers from Fort Bragg and Marines from the Atlantic and the Pacific. The flutter and chatter of the helicopters above the ghostly abandoned city, some of them from as far away as Singapore and averaging 240 missions a day, is eerily reminiscent of the last days of Saigon. Nevertheless, Sen. Mary Landrieu, who seems to think she's cute when she's mad, even threatened on national television to punch out the president -- a felony, by the way, even as a threat. Mayor Nagin, who you might think would be looking for a place to hide, and Gov. Blanco, nursing a bigtime snit, can't find the right word of thanks to a nation pouring out its heart and emptying its pockets. Maybe the senator should consider punching out the governor, only a misdemeanor."

There's probably one or two of you out there who are still stubbornly holding onto your "Blame Bush" sentiments despite this clear debunking. For those of you holding onto your original reaction, be it out of foolish pride or bull headed determination against all reasoning, read the time line of events and see for yourself.

Just one more bit of advice, my friends. In the future notice that President Bush always stands above the partisan fray. He is a pretty quiet man who's slow to blame others, takes the punches, and just keeps moving forward in the direction of doing the right thing. In the end he is almost always vindicated for it.

Always, that is, except for when it comes to Israel and he forgets his way...but I'll save THAT for another time!

Madzionist is getting VERY tired of these advertisers spaming his weblog. He may switch this to mandatory sign in if this problem gets any worse. ANNOYING isn't the half of it, as it also leads to using up precious bandwidth space. I'll keep you posted...

It's clearly Bush's fault. Hew knew that the Mayor and Governor were Democrats, but he did nothing to clear their incompetent asses out of the way!

At least, that seems to be the argument coming from the left...
