Surprise, Surprise.. the Liberal anti-FBI stance of the Jefferson apologists is ignored here.

Why would we be apologizing for Thomas Jefferson? If anything, you wingnuts should be apologizing to him.

So, Jerkweed Jonah Goldberg
thinks life after Katrina
was so great does he? What a complete moron! Does he know what a city is like when 80% of its area is flooded and there are no
telephones, potable water
facilities, sanitation, police protection, or places to buy anything? He is clueless.
I have been living in this
paradise for close to 6 months now (actually a couple of miles away since my house is still unusable)
and normal is not a word we
would use to describe life
in metro New Orleans or Gulf Coast Mississippi.
No, it has been hell for most people and Dimwit Leader and his gang in DC
are not making it any better.
If this is how well informed Goldberg is on most issues I wonder why anyone bothers to read him
at all. His credibility
is zero.
Idiot!!

They're all rough drafts, you see. Someday he's going to make sense.

But, then, we won't be able to afford him

Technically, most of Stossel’s columns for Townhall have been along that same line. They’re all rough drafts, you see. Someday he’s going to make sense.

He’ll still be a gigantic prick, of course.

I suppose he would defend that guy in Raleigh who, after hurricane Fran, charged an elderly woman around $90,000 to remove the fallen trees.

Well sure, because if he charged regular prices, all the tree-removal would have been snapped up by people who wanted to have some extra tree-removal around just in case. By charging exorbitant prices for tree-removal, the tree-remover can ensure that those who need tree-removal the most will be unable to afford it, thus guaranteeing that he will always have plenty of tree-removal in supply for when Richie McMoneybags needs his acacia pruned.

Having been to Mississippi (3 months after the storm) to help clean up (a drop in a VERY large bucket), maybe Jonah should take his very large posterior down there to do the same and then maybe he’s see that things weren’t so blown out of proportion. It’s still a mess and will be for years to come. Lives were lost and lives were ruined, but I guess because it’s nobody Jonah knows, he can’t imagine that it’s all that bad. Tool.

Drew,
Seems like he wrote the same thing about bottled water price gouging after Katrina, so he is basically plagarizing himself so people don’t know he just phoned this one in.

You know, that Stossel column looks awfully familiar. I’m too lazy to look it up, but I think he’s actually done a column about that schmuck before. At the very least I know that this isn’t his first “price-gouging = good” column. I especially love how he seems to be arguing that taking advantage of desperate people is morally equivalent to charity.

I second King Spirula: libertarian types like Stossel are always the first to go whining to someone (often the government) when things don’t go their way. Funny, that.

Yeah, can you find one person on here who’s defended Jefferson, Gary?

I think you’re at the wrong Web site. Blindly defending incompetent, corrupt politicians without any regard for fact, public record, or consistency is a Republican thing. In fact, if I remember correctly it was added to their official party platform at the ’04 convention.

Sullum’s article is pretty good.

Garrett is my Congressman and he’s scary. Even old time Republican’s up here in Sussex County NJ think his “Jesus chose me.” line of thinking is whacked out. I wonder how his concern about rising Medical costs and how they’re going up for all of us because of the burden on Insurance Companies plays out against Walter Williams’ liberty interest in being thrown through the windshield and onto the highway at a high rate of speed.

Surprise, Surprise.. the Liberal anti-FBI stance of the Jefferson apologists is ignored here.

The fact is that real conservatives know that the Democrat Party is a party of corruption, from how they act, to how they act in office.

Stossel’s level of sympathy for catasrophe survivors is medal worthy, if that medal is the Iron Cross. What an asshole. I suppose he would defend that guy in Raleigh who, after hurricane Fran, charged an elderly woman around $90,000 to remove the fallen trees. Were Stossel the victim, he’d be screaming like a whiny-ass-titty-baby (credit to The Poor Man Institute).

I refuse to give them a hit. Is that really what the Pantload is saying? Would’ve liked to see his fat ass reporting from New Orleans.

Anchor babies?

That may be practical for small boats, but I think you’d have to use rather a lot of them to keep your yacht in the harbor.
