Pointing Fingers

The American Spectator takes the prize for most outlandish Katrina coverage (link via Crooks and Liars), somehow managing to blame hip-hop for the social collapse that took place after help failed to arrive in NOLA. It takes some mind-boggling mental gymnastics to pull it off, but George Neumayr doesn't seem to be concerned with making sense. Here's a choice passage:

Like riotous Los Angeles since the 1960s, New Orleans has been a wasteland of politically correct dysfunction for decades -- public schools so obviously decimated vouchers were proposed this year (and torpedoed by the left), barbaric gangster rap culture no one will confront lest they offend liberal pieties, multiculturalist frauds who empower no one but themselves, and cops neutered by the NAACP and ACLU.

Ian is still killing it over at a Different Kitchen.

Been up since 6:00 a.m. working on a Kanye West editorial and drinking coffee.
