Losers' Whine

With the ongoing Liberal Blame Game regarding Hurricane Katrina having no end in sight, you had to know that it was only a matter of time before 2004 Presidential candidate and loser John Kerry chimed in. Here's what he had to say about President Bush and Katrina during a speech at Brown University the other day:

"Brownie (Former FEMA director Michael Brown) is to Katrina what Paul Bremer is to peace in Iraq, what George Tenet is to slam-dunk intelligence, what Paul Wolfowitz is to parades paved with flowers in Baghdad, what Dick Cheney is to visionary energy policy, what Donald Rumsfeld is to basic war planning, what Tom DeLay is to ethics and what George Bush is to 'Mission Accomplished' and 'Wanted Dead or Alive. The bottom line is simple," he continued. "The 'we'll do whatever it takes' administration doesn't have what it takes to get the job done."

Hot stuff!

Yet, Kerry's speech drew a quick and sharp answer from the Republican National Committee's Tracey Schmitt.

"Armchair- quarterbacking on tough issues has never been a problem for Senator Kerry," she said. "Such tactics haven't served him well in the past, and today is no exception."

Go Tracey!

Regardless, it's about time John Kerry realize just how insignificant he really is. After all, practically speaking, Kerry didn't run against Bush in 2004, "Anybody But Bush" did. If Kerry, who is rumored to be wanting to rin again in 2008, ever wants to be taken seriously, he'd be wise to develop a plan that doesn't revolve around Michael Moore propaganda and liberal activist groups who simply put.....just hate Bush.

Replaying past mistakes wouldn't be smart, unless he just wants to become even less relevant.

Snitches Never Prosper

It'll All Be Over Soon Baby

From the Sauce:

"I was just like, "This is some bullshit." It just was unfair. Honestly, I'ma tell you right now; I took one for the team. And when I say "team," I'm not talking about them boys. I'm talking about them boys. I'm talking about Hip-Hop. I took for one for Hip-Hop....

...... All I could think about was, "Damn, my baby [The Notorious B.I.G.] was around these fake, corny motherfuckers." They thought he was rolling with some real dudes. All these freakin' years this is what they was? I was thinking, "What if they were to put my baby in some shit like this?" Another thing I was thinking was, "I didn't know they were this dumb." I never knew they were that pussy. But you know what, man? I'm blessed at the end of the day. Now, my album's about to drop and they could still be around me and all of this would have happened at a higher level with these dudes. I walk with my head up. I laughed a lot to myself. these people standing here with a B.I.G. shirt on snitching? [Lil' Cease is] on the stand with a B.I.G. shirt on! It was funny. It was hilarious."

Cindy Sheehan Circus Stopped

Respect Their Gangsta

Apparently somebody forgot to tell the Cindy Sheehan circus that you can't just diss Bush without getting a permit. Yesterday, her planned speech at Union Square was cut short by the NYPD who seized the audio equipment of event organizer Paul "Zool" Zulkowitz. The police say that Zulkowitz didn't have a permit to use a sound device and was given a summons. According to Indymedia reports, 60-70 people chased the police and chanted, "Police out of the park" and "Who's f-cking park? OUR f-cking park!" Sheehan was hustled out of the park quickly.

Granted, I could give a f-ck about the NYPD, but that doesn't mean that I can't give thanks when I see my tax dollars being put to good use.

Fernando Ferrer on Amadou Diallo

Fernando Ferrer on Amadou Diallo
Via the NY Daily News:
"I don't believe it was a crime," Ferrer, who was Bronx borough president at the time of the slaying, told members of the Sergeants Benevolent Association. "Do I believe there was an attempt by many, in a lot of different places, to overindict? Sure." The comments were far different in tone than Ferrer's remarks when he was running for mayor in 2001. The year before, the four cops who fired 41 shots at Diallo in front of his Bronx home when they mistook his wallet for a gun were acquitted of murder.Mayoral hopeful Fernando Ferrer told the police sergeants union yesterday that there was a broad attempt to "overindict" the officers involved in the infamous 1999 shooting of Amadou Diallo.

And yet we wonder why this guy has twice failed to become mayor. I'm not a Fernando "Freddie" Ferrer fan. Not in the least. The man just can't be trusted. And he lost to Mark Green! Mark Green!!! But in regard to the Diallo statement, Ferrer proves one thing: He will say and do anything to win. Hmmm.....does that remind you of someone?

Unfortunately, Black folks just don't get it. The notion that Freddie Ferrer can get away with calling the Diallo murder anything less than what it is, is severely harmful. Today, some 6 years later the Diallo crime still stands as one of the most tragic and racially divisive episodes in NYC's history. 41 shots is a grim reminder of a racist administration that catered to "fixing" crime at literally ANY cost. The facts of the Diallo case showed that the four cops were badly trained and completely out of control. Police officers should be in control of the situation; 41 shots showed that they were very clearly out of control.

The instances when it is necessary for a police officer to shoot and kill another human being should be when a threat is real, not perceived. Four well-armed officers clearly had a tactical advantage if they used good judgement and training. For an officer to shoot wildly, hitting the victim in the bottom of his foot (he was clearly down at the time) is inexcusable.

And so was Freddie Ferrer's statement to the Sergeants association.

For Ferrer to have any chance in defeating Mayor Bloomberg this November he will need to win, in a landslide, the Black and Hispanic vote. He can count on Hispanics because he's Hispanic himself and well, Hispanics have a history of immense loyalty in voting for one of their own. Therefore it's the Black vote that could be the biggest factor in deciding who our next mayor will be. And far from me to recommend that any Black person vote Republican, keep in mind that Mayor Michael Bloomberg is a 30-year Democrat who only joined the Republican party in 2001 so he could win. In other words, think of the mayoral race as a Democrat (Ferrer) vs. a "closet" Democrat (Bloomberg). Which leaves my vote out because Bloomberg is a liberal and voting for Ferrer would be stepping on the memory of Amadou Diallo.

Ray Nagin: Mayor No Not Me

The best job goes to the person who can get it done without passing the buck or coming back with excuses. - Napoleon Hill

Well, it's official, the votes have been tallied and the results are in: New Orleans mayor Ray Nagin is an idiot. Mind you, I don't use the term "idiot" lightly, but every time I read another Ray Nagin quote I can't help but envision the dunce cap on his head getting taller. Yet the mayor's continued malfeasance regarding the response to Hurricane Katrina not only shows you that he hasn't learned anything in regards to accepting ANY kind of responsibility, but also reminds you that he's nothing more then just another politician:

From CNN.com -

New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin says businesses in some parts of the city will reopen this weekend, and residents of the Algiers neighborhood will be welcomed back next week. Announcing the gradual return, officials also warned of remaining health threats.

New Orleans health director Kevin Stephens stressed warnings to returning residents about one key contaminant, the bacteria E coli.

The French Quarter is scheduled to be re-opened to residents on the Monday after next. Mayor Nagin said city officials are being especially cautious with the area because of its historic significance.

Earlier this week, Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Blanco took responsibility for the lack of speedy state action in the Hurricane Katrina crisis. President Bush followed that up last week by taking responsibility for federal mistakes and slow action. But while a city lies in ruins and dead bodies continue to be found, the mayor is busy inviting everybody back home despite warnings from the head of the federal disaster relief team that the city just isn't near ready for habitants yet.

How does this guy do it? How is Ray Nagin able to escape blame despite his continued acts of complete and utter ineptitude in handling leadership? How is Ray Nagin excluded from the Liberal Blame Game despite the fact that even residents of N.O. are more upset with their mayor then anyone else for the response to Katrina? Could his race have something to do with it? Of course. Especially considering how much the liberal media has unashamedly played up the race card throughout this whole thing. Failure occurred at ALL levels, but thanks to liberals Ray Nagin may never have to face the music.

The same Ray Nagin who went on national TV crying while claiming that 10,000 dead bodies may be found (less then 1,000 have been found so far). The same Ray Nagin, mayor of a town where 400 buses lie underwater, 400 buses that could have been used to evacuate those in the Superdome prior to the disaster. Nagin was also made aware more than three days before landfall, but did not push for an evacuation until a day and a half before. Nagin also didn't push for total evacuation of those who did not have the resources to leave on their own.

And keep in mind that the federal authorities did not have the legal jurisdiction to force an evacuation. That power lay with the state and local authorities -- in other words, with Nagin and Blanco. The two of them clearly did not act in the best interest of their constituents, despite their statements to the contrary on television and in various media over the past week. But give Blanco some credit for finally taking herself to task, when will it be Ray Nagin's turn?
