It gets worse

Could Bush/Cheney have done anything more offensive than putting the despicable Karl Rove in charge of rebuilding NO? Well, yes he could. He is also awarding the reconstruction and recovery contracts to corporations run by his cronies in the plutocracy. As Josh Marshall says this evening:

Let's all be clear about one thing.

As we suggested last night, and as President Bush has now put us on notice, the Gulf Coast reconstruction effort is going to be run as a patronage and political operation.

That's not spin or hyperbole. They're saying it themselves.
