Have They No Shame?
By Katrina vanden Heuvel
The Nation
9-7-5


As Republicans desperately cry out of one corner of their mouths to stop the blame game, they have been blaming everyone but themselves since this catastrophe. Let's look at their ever-evolving buck-passing strategies.

Blame the Victims: Both FEMA's Michael Brown and Homeland Security's Michael Chertoff, the Mutt and Jeff of this calamity, have blamed careless, destitute New Orleaners for not evacuating. "Those who got out are fine," Chertoff told NBC's Tim Russert. FEMA sought to excuse its delays in entering the city by blaming the looters.

Blame the Locals: In a stroke of political luck, both the New Orleans mayor and Louisiana's Governor are Democrats. As the New York Times reported, Karl Rove's PR strategy is to shift the blame to the state and city officials. All Sunday, White House officials and Fox News played this card. Expect more of this line of attack.

1. No, shame would be a weakness...

And in the eyes of these people, that would lose the war. What war? Everything is a war, to these types. Katrina is just another war. They have to win. Take no prisoners.

No shame. No way. That would be admitting a defeat. Just keep painting lipstick on that pig until she wins prizes.

and they have no problems lying, so, that puts them ahead of the shame game. They can deny any reason for shame. And so...their reality is their own.

Basically, we've come to the point that... you can't argue with a crazy person. That's absolutely all there is to it, at this point. Those still holding on, in spite of seeing the news maybe once or twice a week, they are simply not trying to see the truth. They're just holding on.

Blind faith is such a handy thing.

2. I think we can assume that is a rhetorical question...

because we know the answer: they have no shame, plain and simple. There is no shortage of mendacity, self serving misdirection, finger pointing, name calling, racist beliefs, smuggery, snobbery, shameless self promotion, promotion of incompetent sycophants, promotion of incompetent horse owner association officers, among these people.

3. Ask those who have no home or job to go back to if they are fine.

What idiots.
