I let loose on the following hateful anti-New Orleans post by Relapsed Catholic's Kathy Shaidle a few days ago, but I thought this video (above) truly put her misanthropy in context, so I'm revisiting the matter now.
IT'S GOOD that we be absolutely clear about things, so watch the video, then read this by Shaidle:
Nice to see that other people are finally saying what I was saying the first week, two years ago.
Like V-Tech, Katrina revealed a lot about so-called conservative bloggers, who mostly fell all over themselves about New Orleans and what a shame it was that it was being destroyed.
Now, I expect liberals, libertines and progressives to mourn the loss of a cheap hotbed of public drunkeness, murder, laziness and corruption. Oh and don't forget the great food! Liberals are obsessed with "all those great restaurants", as we know from every debate about multiculturalism.
However, I expect (stupidly, as I continue to discover) conservatives to be a little more sober, to be able to see beyond their base appetites and be realistic about sending money to people so stupid they live in a bowl in a flood zone, how they'd spend all your donations on lap dancers, so primitive they couldn't control themselves during a crisis. Then they re-elected the mayor responsible for their misery. Because he's black, of course!
I saw all this clearly. You didn't. I really don't know how some of you make it through each day without falling down a manhole.
