Hypocrisy Extraordinaire

From a caller to Rush Limbaugh (paraphrasing) :
According to liberals
1) FEMA may have been one day slow in the path of a terrible hurricane that they had 5 days to plan for, less than 2000 people died in the entire event (btw ... the number is going to be nowhere near that, and probably none directly attributable to the FED response, ignoring of course that this was not what FEMA was intended for). Conclusion: GW Bush hates blacks, planned this all out and should be impeached ...
2) Kofi Annan oversees the worst scandal in world history over many years, very likely has a direct hand in it, certainly is involved in covering it up, funnels money to his son, tens of thousands of people die as a result (not to mention continuity of torture and murders by the guy they are being paid off by), empowers one of the worst mass-murderers in the history of the world. Conclusion: Kofi Annan is a good guy

Other examples for your amusement:

To liberals:
1) Problems with immediate response in Florida in past hurricanes (after 3 or so hit the state) ... who is to blame? Governor (Jeb Bush)
2) Problems with immediate response in Louisiana ... who is to blame? President (George W Bush)

To liberals:
1) GW Bush "caught" smiling at a birthday celebration for John McCain the day before the hurricane (note: there are other pictures of GW Bush attending numerous unrelated events during his "vacation", and he's not crying at any of them) ... Conclusion: GW Bush is an evil, uncaring bastard.
2) Bill Clinton caught on camara smiling, laughing and yucking it up at Ron Brown's funeral, until he saw the camaras and then managed to work up some tears before coming out ... Conclusion: Bill Clinton is a loving, caring man

To liberals:
1) GW Bush campaign offers picture of The President on Air Force One, purportedly a shot of him on the phone during the 9-11 attacks, to people who donated money in his campaign ... Conclusion: GW Bush is an evil bastard for exploiting 9-11
2) Chuck Shumer has a "Donate to Democraps" link on the site that he has related to Democrat attacks against Bush related to the Katrina disaster ... Conclusion: so far liberals and the media have no problems with that, since Mr. Shumer is not taking advantage of the tragedy.

To the media
1) fairly nondescript break-in at Democrat political HQ by a couple of nondescript schleps ... response by the media : worthy of investigation and rather viscious prosecution (featuring Hillary) that leads to the taking down of a Republican administration (Nixon)
2) During the 9-11 commission investigation of the worst terrorist attack in the history of the country: Sandy Berger, a key member of democrat administration in place during much of the 9-11 planning and rehearsals, is caught committing the federal crime of stealing documents from the National Archives: Berger cannot explain why he did it (his defenders put out some of the lamest excuses in D.C. history) and Berger "accidently" ends up shredding the documents that were stolen ... response by the media : **YAAAWWWNNNN**, Ho-hum

To the news media:
1) Pictures related to 9-11 ... dead people, people jumping from the buildings, etc : response by the media : we need to bury these because they are too horrific, and they might generate hatred against terrorists (huh?), and the pictures should not be exploited for political gain
2) Pictures of dead bodies related to Katrina, bloated bodies floating around in the swill or fallen by the roadside, despite the fact that some families may not know their loved ones are in the pictures: response by the media : very important to broadcast these because, after all, these pictures of bodies would be a good backdrop to stories talking about how the federal government is to blame for everything.
