Well it's already a crap day for me

For various non-blog related reasons.

But it could be worse, and it truly was for the people of Louisiana in the early Fall of 2005.

Not that Joe Lieberman gives a shit about stuff like this:

Party politics played a role in decisions over whether to take federal control of Louisiana and other areas affected by Hurricane Katrina, former FEMA director Michael Brown said Friday...

Brown said he had recommended to President Bush that all 90,000 square miles along the Gulf Coast affected by the hurricane be federalized, making the federal government in charge of all agencies responding to the disaster.

"Unbeknownst to me, certain people in the White House were thinking we had to federalize Louisiana because she's a white, female Democratic governor and we have a chance to rub her nose in it," he said.

Brown declined to say who in the White House had argued for only taking control of Louisiana, but said that he'd later learned of the situation through Blanco's office and from other officials on the federal level.

Blanco reacted sharply on hearing what Brown had said.

"This is exactly what we were living but could not bring ourselves to believe. Karl Rove was playing politics while our people were dying," Blanco said through a spokeswoman, referring to President Bush's top political strategist. "The federal effort was delayed, and now the public knows why. It's disgusting."

But again, this mostly affects people of color in Joe Lieberman's world. Any investigation into the callousness of the Bush Administration would be yet another roadblock thrown in the way of Joe Lieberman and George Bush's effort to kill people of color in another country half-a-world away. And it is clear that as he is living his life now, there are no people of color that Joe Lieberman will not step on to advance his status as a person of influence.

Yes, once again, I am calling the Joe Lieberman of TODAY a straight out racist. There is little current evidence to the contrary.
