Poll question: Most shameful character in the Katrina aftermath? (Excluding Bush)
Meaning, who has behaved the worst (excluding Bush). My vote goes to that simpering Machiavellian toad Dick Morris. Barbara Bush is a patrician, elitist snob, and Limbaugh is a perennial asshole. I've never liked Morris. His smarmy, two-faced ways are well-documented.

1. Dick Cheney
The Vice President of the United States was MIA (almost literally - no one knew where he was!) for almost a whole week while a major American city was underwater and dying. Then it's discovered the following week that all of Cheney's usual list of buddies (Halliburton among them, of course) have received no-bid, blank check contracts to "reconstruct" New Orleans.

20. And Cheney went shopping for a new mansion!
That's more money than CondiLiar's $3K pair of shoes two days after the hurricane hit (and she threw an outraged citizen out of the store for commenting on her inappropriate behavior).

4. Battle Axe Bar isn't in a position to do as much damage
as Rush is. He has far more influence and therefore is more dangerous.

You forgot Wolf Blitzer, Bill O'Reilly and Glenn Beck
All of whom are probably even higher ranked than any of these people... But I'll vote for Babs anyway.

5. O'Lielly and Hannity. They used the looting footage to live
out some sick incarnation of their vilest, most racist fantasies.

6. "Glenn Beck calls survivors "scumbags," said he "hates" 9-11 families"

(Glenn Beck is a Rush Limbaugh want to be. I've never heard him myself and he probably does not deserve this much attention. But then - neither do any of the other assholes.)


P.S. Kanye West rocks and should not even share a poll with the other "scumbags".

11. Amidst all the violence, abuse, racism, destruction, betrayal
some of you "progressive" men still cling to your misogynistic turns of phrase............

13. Well dear, I'd be just as happy with daddy lopping off his nuts with some
pinking shears, to which some man would accuse me of hatred of his gender as well - but daddy was not an option in the poll. Point is, I really don't care who underwent the mutilation required so long as those particular two monsters never reproduced. But that ship sailed long ago. I don't have a problem with sexual organs, just the specific set of them that produced the catastrophe that is George Herbert Walker Bush.

Funny how you jumped to so many incorrect assumptions. You've wasted your outrage in the wrong place. Veganistan ain't no man.

15. Not so many incorrect assumptions. What outrage? It's rather sad
especially if you are a woman.

Misogyny cuts as deep, whichever gender it erupts from. :puke:

16. Keep it. Your sorrow that is, save it.
It's horribly misplaced. In this particular instance, you were mistaken. It's OK to be mistaken and in this case I am most happy to say you were.

8. Chertoff... Do YOU Feel Safe In Your Homeland ???
http://photos1.blogger.com/img/106/2898/640/Chertoff,%20Michael.jpg

After stripping us of some of our civil liberties, sanctioning a star-chamber judiciary, and taking over all responders to disaster to protect our country...

This is the best we can expect???

I want all those rights restored, like... YESTERDAY!!!

Just wait til they start railroading those shipments of spent nuclear fuel through every major city in America to Yucca Mountain.

That will be a special time indeed.

12. Brown and Chertoff too
Many people are dead because of those two.

They not only sat on their hands as a major U.S. city drowned
but they turned away and obstructed outside help.

Cheney, Rumsfeld, and Rice are almost as bad.

14. I have hated Babs for years so she gets my vote since more
Americans will see her for who she really is.

Molly Ivins has had some blistering stuff on Babs over the years, hates her too.

17. Well, the above list are all filthy parasites ... but ....
... tonight on Hardball, I heard the story from two EMTs who were told by NO police that there were busses awaiting them on the other side of a bridge about 3 miles away.

They walked there and were joined along the way by 200 people from the SuperDome.

As they approached the top of an on ramp, they said they heard shots and stopped. One EMT approached the Sheriff of Gretna who told them no one was going to leave NO to "rape and pillage" in Gretna.

I nominate the Sheriff of Gretna for today's "world's worst person".

P.S. I can't sleep.
