Michelle Malkin explains why Ken Salazar ought to be run out of town on a rail. For my part, I’d be happy if the MSM gave the disgraceful federal response to the oil spill just one-tenth of the gimlet-eyed reporting they gave to the federal response to Hurricane Katrina. Most of the country simply has NO IDEA how bad things are here. In fact, I’d bet a lot of Louisianans don’t know either, unless they have family or friends directly involved. The government and BP are keeping it very quiet. And that’s a pretty big story in itself that’s gone largely unreported. Sure, Anderson Cooper squawked a bit, briefly. Remember the in-depth media coverage when the Bush administration fascists sent jackbooted thugs into the nation’s libraries to see what books we’ve been checking out? Could we get just a tenth of that attention on this story? Probably not.
Obama’s not letting this crisis go to waste – he’s created a new government agency which will surely solve all our problems. This time it’s going to work. I’m sure of it.
