Get this: insidious handbag corporations are overcharging poor Katrina victims ? who right now have only those $2000 FEMA credit cards to live on, despite George Bush’s overt racism ? as much as $800 for handbags. If that’s not gouging …

You know, I used to share Roy Cordato‘s approach to gouging, and I still think it makes sense, but there have got to be limits, man, to keep Big Handbag from making exorbitant profits on the backs of poor people like this. No, I must agree with the Earl of Gloucester about gouging: “O cruel! O ye gods!”
