More liberal pundit jargon, this time from Michael Moore in an email to supporters about Katrina:

There is much to be said and done about the manmade annihilation of New Orleans, caused NOT by a hurricane but by the very specific decisions made by the Bush administration in the past four and a half years. Do not listen to anyone who says we can discuss all this later. No, we can’t. Our country is in an immediate state of vulnerability. More hurricanes, wars, and other disasters are on the way, and a lazy bunch of self-satisfied lunatics are still running the show.

In this passage, Moore goes further than any other liberal pundit I’ve seen, making the specific argument that the devastation in New Orleans was “manmade” and “caused NOT by a hurricane but by the very specific decisions made by the Bush administration in the past four and a half years.” Whatever you think about what happened, saying that the primary cause of the devastation wasn’t Katrina is lunacy.
