And The Beat Goes On

Just when you think you've heard it all, here comes RFK, Jr. with his take on Katrina. Of course, it's Bush's fault, with Barbour at his side.

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. is blaming Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour, along with President Bush, for causing Hurricane Katrina.

"As Hurricane Katrina dismantles Mississippi’s Gulf Coast, it’s worth recalling the central role that Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour played in derailing the Kyoto Protocol and kiboshing President Bush’s iron-clad campaign promise to regulate CO2," Kennedy blogged Tuesday on HuffingtonPost.com.


You know, I'd love to see these people be honest, just one time. I'm beginning to think the Democrats are completely incapable of honest discussion. Everything is political, everything is power. Kennedy knows as well as most other people that Bush had nothing to do with Katrina, that there is nothing that would have stopped it, that global warming has nothing to do with it. No matter. He sees an opportunity for some political points, and he's going for it, character and truth be damned.

The influential Democrat's enviro-conspiracy theory had the sinister Gov. Barbour engineering Bush's energy policy on behalf of "the president’s major donors from the fossil fuel industry."

Ah, there it is. The official moonbat line. Still wondering where the Democrats get their marching orders?

Kennedy charges that in March 2001, the former Republican National Committee chairman issued "an urgent memo to the White House" on CO2 emissions.

Care to produce the memo? We're just supposed to take a partisan hack's word for it? Not likely.


Because of Bush and Barbour's CO2 folly, said Kennedy: "Now we are all learning what it’s like to reap the whirlwind of fossil fuel dependence which Barbour and his cronies have encouraged."

Did you catch that? Katrina is Bush and Barbour's fault, period. This kind of stuff belongs at the Democratic Underground or Daily Kos, not out of the mouth of a "prominent Democrat." And these guys want the reigns of power to the country? Thankfully, a majority of Americans understand how devastating that would be to America.

RFK, Jr. even suggested that Katrina's last minute detour through Mississippi was a bit of Divine payback, declaring:

"Perhaps it was Barbour’s memo that caused Katrina, at the last moment, to spare New Orleans and save its worst flailings for the Mississippi coast."

Imagine, if you will, the firestorm that would have ensued if a Republican, or a prominent evangelical Christian, had even hinted that Katrina's path was directed by God as payback for a memo. Just imagine.
