Toons of the Moment: Palin’s Katrina…

PLUS: I'm back...

Share article:

After hearing the lazy corporate media meme over the last several days asking whether the BP oil spill catastrophe was “Obama’s Katrina,” it was nice to see the meme properly re-aligned last night on Twitter by @OTOOLEFAN who announced: “This oil spill is Sarah Palin’s Katrina.”

Apparently he wasn’t the first, however, to do so, as the ubiquitous @Shoq gave credit to @yrustupid’s first invocation.

And with those attributions out of the way, I’ll take the opportunity to note that after two long weeks on the road and often off the grid (when I wasn’t doing Russian TV from NV or guest hosting for Malloy from San Fran) for largely unrelated work, I’m finally back in the ‘hood today with much to get caught up on this week. Thanks for your patience during my mostly-absence over the last coupla weeks and (possibly) in the coming days as I get caught up. My thanks to both The BRAD BLOG’s Ernie Canning and Brilliant at Breakfast’s Jill C. for filling occasional gaps as they were able to find time while I was gone!

Feel free to use the comment section on this item to let me know about anything you think I may have missed over last week or two but still need to know about!

    In a classic example of 21st Century hypocrisy, the same crowd that mouthed the obscenity, “drill baby, drill,” has referred to the BP spill as “Obama’s Katrina.”

    Have they no sense of shame?

    I’m just too appalled and sick at heart to be able to find any humor in the oil spill yet. Maybe next year.
