George Who?

Here's a history quiz for you.  Which President of the United States do we see on the left, telling the incompetent Mr. Brown he's doing a "heckuva" job responding to hurricane Katrina?  

29% of Louisiana Republicans said in response to a TPM poll that it was Barack Obama - still only an obscure freshman senator from Illinois who bears most of the blame.  44% weren't sure just who was responsible for the poor response to the devastating hurricane. George who?

These people vote.  These people say Liberals are retarded. These people are happy to lecture you about history and science and laugh at your education. George who?

I credit Libby at The Impolitic for bringing this to my attention, but I wish she hadn't.  Of course, being a Floridian, I'm glad for evidence for the argument that Florida isn't the Stupidest State as long as we have Louisiana, but none the less; how can I not feel despair at reading a poll showing, as she says, that "73% of Louisiana Republicans don't remember who was president when Katrina hit NOLA."

    "73% of Louisiana Republicans don't remember who was president when Katrina hit NOLA."


    "We have to stop being the Stupid Party." --Republican Governor Bobby Jindal of Louisiana

    I keep wondering when that will happen.

      If they stopped being the stupid party, they'd go back to speaking for the 1% and getting 1% of the votes.

    My advice to all citizens of ... [what's that damn state called?] ... Oh, yes, Louisiana.

    Change your password to “Incorrect.” That way when you log in with the wrong password,
    your computer will say… “Your password is incorrect.”

    One more word of advice:

    Change your password to “Incorrect.” That way when you log in with the wrong password,
    your computer will say… “Your password is incorrect.”

      Hours ago, the governor of Louisiana ... whathizzname, Bobby Jingo or something like that ... tried this suggestion. He changed his government access password to "incorrect." The computer returned: "Your password is invalid."

    Seems most Americans have the attention span of a slug... No wait, I take that back, slugs seem rather focused as they move toward their unknown destiny. Damn, most Americans have the attention span of a stupid American. There is nothing in nature dumber. Sigh
