This will be short, and I won't spend any more time on it, I promise.
This evening, John Stewart continued his unbelievably obnoxious analysis of the Federal response to Hurricane Katrina. My longstanding belief that it is liberals who have contributed more to the ugly "coarsening" of America than any other factor was only reinforced when I saw, with only a little surprise, that his main story -- which covered the supposed incompetence of both FEMA director Michael Brown and Homeland Security Director Michael Chertoff -- was entitled "Meet the F**kers."
Stewart repeatedly referred to these two Federal government officials as F**ker #1 and F**ker #2," and the graphic below the picture showed the same "MtF" logo for nearly the entire duration of the story. Talk about mature and intelligent. If you disagree with someone, just use your nightly public access and "star-power" to call them names involving the F-word. That's a great way to get respect from me, I'll tell you.
I did have to laugh when Stewart (and Ted Koppel, who was quoted in the piece), both expressed genuine bewilderment and outrage that government officials apparently did not watch network television reports, and only learned of the growing dire situation in the Superdome until the morning of Thursday, September 1st. Media people actually believe that everyone watches them! That's hilarious! How out of touch can you get?
