In the wake of the very good news regarding body counts along the gulf cost, which are going to turn out to be much much lower than the early predictions in the tens of thousands, Liberal Larry's niece asks a poignant question.
If Bush is to blame for such a high death toll, then shouldn't he also get the credit for the number of casualties being so low?
Well...no. Not when you are desperate for any tragedy and large body counts to pave the way to a becoming a majority party once again.
Has it escaped anyones attention that, over the past five years, being a Democrat means hoping this country will fail in everything it does? How sad that the party has to cross it's fingers and hope the economy goes south, the war goes bad, and a hurricane wipes out thousands, just to score a few more tallies from the electoral college.
With good news starting to trickle out of the south, Democrats like Liberal Larry are starting to get a little worried that they may not have this tragedy to exploit much longer.
...with the number of casualties significantly lower than the 10,000 we had counted on, many of us are left wondering where it all went right.
Granted, 279 dead is nothing to sneeze at. Democrats might be able to milk it for a few votes, but nowhere near what they need to repeal Bush's tax cuts and put the Hillary-Obama ticket over the top in 2008. Sadly, we soon may have to face the undeniable truth that a good deal of people survived Hurricane Katrina.
Wouldn't that be a shame.
