Wait, MoveOn.org is using Katrina pictures to promote its political agenda? But I remember this, from the 2004 campaign season:
Liberal online political activist group MoveOn.org is using testimony from former White House counterterrorism head Richard Clarke in a new political ad to promote their anti-Bush agenda.I'm lawyer enough to know how to make the argument that that is not rank hypocrisy, but, man, that is rank hypocrisy!
In the ad, MoveOn.org accuses President George W. Bush of politicizing September 11 by using images from the World Trade Center Towers in a recent campaign commercial.
"George Bush shamelessly exploited 9/11 in his campaign commercials," the announcer states at the beginning of the ad.

Shameless Exploitation of Katrina

Mark my words:
Before this is over, the right wing media will make every effort to blame this disaster on the Clinton administration.
How? I don't know.
They will not succeed, but the Rush's and O'Reilly's of the world will try. It's their pathological M.O.
I'm sure there will be someone who will say so--but it's far more likely that they'll show that the problem goes back at least through the Clinton administration.
Is that worse than trying to lay these problems at George Bush's feet, especially given the facts coming out now about the ineptitude of the Louisiana governor and New Orleans mayor?
But that's beside the point. The point of this post was to show yet more hypocrisy from MoveOn.org. More hypocrisy, I say, because they can't even live up to their own name :-)
