My reaction to Bush pulling yet another rug out from under us

[Chomskyite]

06:49 pm: It's just too typical that Bush has gotten his tallywacker out and sent a boiling hot stream all over Congressman Richard Baker and Southeastern Louisiana. Our problem down here is we're not Shiites and we're on the Mississippi not the Tigris. But Bush's free-market Heritage Foundation twirps will be rubbing their hands together. "Block grants," Bush's boy said on WWL today. "We don't want the government into something private companies should be in."

And what will be those private companies' names? Perhaps Halliburton? Perhaps Brown and Root?

Garland Robinette really went after Bush's reconstruction czar, a pathetic nonentity along the lines of Paul Bremer. But it's Blanco that needs to do the confronting now.

For my advice to Blanco, read http://hammondanon.livejournal.com/3850.html
