Katrina Gravy Train

Yesterday I wrote this:

[T]he architects of the Katrina disaster are getting the best of both worlds: a vast new ocean of federal greenbacks in which to wallow naked, and the blame due them for their criminal negligence taken off their hands in "exchange" by the man in whose face they've spent the past two weeks pissing.

If I'm Nagin or Blanco, I'm hoping for another killer storm just as soon as Halliburton can finish recharging their secret weather control machines. This hurricane gig could become the Left's new cottage industry.

I'm sure that sounded both harsh and cynical to "moderate" readers out there. Why, how dare I suggest that such paragons of "compassion" would wish for more disasters just to get their hands on an unlimited federal drawing account. Don't I know those poor people that George Bush and Halliburton tried to subject to meteorological genocide need that money? And that Bush is only doling it out because the great, courageous, and stalwart Democrat Party unraveled his nefarious, diabolical plot and he needs a massive diversion to distract public attention from his crimes against humanity?

For all who thought along these lines, I humbly refer you to this story:

"Revrund" Jesse Jackson is calling for the creation of a Hurricane Katrina Victims Compensation Fund that could dole out tens of billions of dollars to New Orleans flood victims over and above the $60 billion already appropriated by Congress for reconstruction.

Wait, it gets better:

"We need a Hurricane Victims Fund to provide resources to the affected people and families, based on the same compensation and assistance formula of the 9/11 Victims Fund," Jackson says on his Rainbow/Push web site.

And what was the real purpose of that 9/11 Victims' Fund?

The 9/11 fund distributed $7 billion to the families of those killed in America's worst terrorist attack, in exchange for a promise that they wouldn't bring crippling legal action against American and United Airlines, whose planes were hijacked. [emphasis added]

In other words, it was an extortion fund. Either American Airlines and United Airlines get pillaged (never mind that the entire airline industry was just as big a victim of the 9/11 attacks - talk about blaming the victims!) or the taxpayers do. And now, right on cue, smelling another massive heist to be harvested, Double-J is set to embark on another corporate mugging spree.

Kinda gives a whole new meaning to "thug life," doesn't it?
