As we know from our own comment threads right here on this very blog, right-wingers are expert at taking a few facts from situations that appear to be superficially similar but really aren't upon reflection or closer examination and using them to attack liberals.

And so, in the last few days, the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico has become Obama's Katrina. Um...look, I'm as pro-pelican as the next guy, and obviously I don't mean to gainsay the scope of this environmental catastrophe, which will end up being staggering.

But Katrina killed about 1,500 humans. And no, it's not George Bush's personal fault that they died, either. But I still rate Katrina a far bigger tragedy for that reason.

1. I do blame Bush in part for some of the deaths after the hurricane.

Brownie, the race horse whatever-he-was, was appointed by Bush to do that heckuva job. I also blame the Bushies for this mess right now, because they deregulated and gutted oversight for the industry.

2. This should be amplified as much as

'where's the birth certificate'.

3. I know it is George Bush's personal fault ! The deaths happened because of the flooding

not the original hurricane. That is a fact. There was plenty of time to save people but GWB was too busy kissing Cheney's ass to even notice. I am in the middle of the Tennessee flood and all I can say it THANK GOD FOR OBAMA!

I thought that one was Mother Nature's fault.
