Not only is Bush being blamed for this particular bridge collapse, but the problems with all of the nation’s infrastructure are being blamed in Bush, the neocons, war supporters, you name it. Here’s one addled blogger in the Twin Cities:
I’m feeling a little down about our bridge collapsing with many of my fellow humans on it, and I can’t help but feel the desire to go straight for the money that should have been used on my cities’ federally funded, interstate highway infrastructure by re-appropriating it directly from Blackwater and Haliburton.
Even former Charlotte talk-show host Jason Lewis, now at KTLK in Minneapolis, gets some of this blogger’s scatter shot:
Conservative radio is on and they are just so compassionate going on about “just how fragile life is.†-Jason Lewis KTLK
“By the grace of Jesus†– idiot call-in
More like “By the neglect of the neocons.â€
Thanks, Jason. The b[——]t war you advocated is bleeding our nation dry and killing us in horrible, almost unthinkable ways. I would like Jason Lewis and Michael B. Brodkorb to actually ask a simple question, but they are unable. It’s all “God Bless†tonight in the twin cities, folks.
There’s plenty more Bush Derangement Syndrome being exhibited in the lefty blogosphere, but not suitable for linking.
UPDATE: Sens. Harry Reid, D-NV, and Patty Murray, D-WA, have joined in the infrastructure demagoguery. Any congressman, media person or voter who thinks this could have been avoided had Bush not threatened a veto last week of a transporation bill because it was filled with earmarks is, well, just crazy. That’s what Reid implied.
