Some of the more fascinating and revealing quotes during yesterday's observance of MLK day...
"Surely God is mad at America. He sent us hurricane after hurricane after hurricane, and it's destroyed and put stress on this country...Surely he doesn't approve of us being in Iraq under false pretenses. But surely he is upset at black America also. We're not taking care of ourselves." - New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin
"It's time for us to come together. It's time for us to rebuild New Orleans -- the one that should be a chocolate New Orleans," the mayor said. "This city will be a majority-African American city. It's the way God wants it to be. You can't have New Orleans no other way. It wouldn't be New Orleans." - New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin
As one guy said, "America's flavorite racist?"
"When you look at the way the House of Representatives has been run, it has been run like a plantation, and you know what I'm talking about...We have a culture of corruption, we have cronyism, we have incompetence. I predict to you that this administration will go down in history as one of the worst that has ever governed our country." - Hillary Clinton
"At present, we still have much to learn about the NSA's domestic surveillance. What we do know about this pervasive wiretapping virtually compels the conclusion that the President of the United States has been breaking the law repeatedly and persistently.
A president who breaks the law is a threat to the very structure of our government." - Al Gore
"Once violated, the rule of law is in danger. Unless stopped, lawlessness grows." - Al Gore
"That's a no-brainer. Of course it's a violation of international law, that's why it's a covert action. The guy is a terrorist. Go grab his ass." -Al Gore (sorry, that wasn't from yesterday's speech)
"If the President has commander-in-chief power to commit torture, he has the power to commit genocide, to sanction slavery, to promote apartheid, to license summary execution." - Al Gore
"The President's judicial appointments are clearly designed to ensure that the courts will not serve as an effective check on executive power...." - Al Gore
And they say Murtha was smeared... |

Nagin "embodied the pain and frustration of his city, even cursing on the radio as he joined thousands of stranded residents in wondering why their government had failed them."
must make him person of the year . except one thing .... I thought Nagin was the government .

Reminds me of that Sprint commercial, "But sir, you ARE the man...so aren't you sticking it to yourself?"
