Hate-mongers to the front of the line. A discerning reader might have noted that as Mark Steyn above gives kudos to Haley Barbour (?!), now Governor of Ms. … but the back of his hand to Ms. Moron: Louisiana Gov. Blanco … and that the Chicago journalist is another pawn of the rich.

This Blanco boob was put into office when Clinton thug Carville put out an election eve TV hate ad out that referred to her opponent: Republican Bobbie Jindal (Lebanese-American) as colored. Happily, Jindal is now in Congress.

Blanco has shown her uselessness before. Made a complete fool of herself over the NFL Saints negotiations. As well as the ongoing New Orleans School Board Missing Billions boondoggle. (That problem’s solved now.) And was already on non-speaking terms with Bush over the matter of who should handle liaison during his La. visits prior to Katrina. Republican Senator Vitter has to run interference.

No problem. Sean Penn is on the scene (really). Together with Michael Moore, Jesse Jackson and the Democratic Party, this can be turned into a race war. The Demos evidently see this as a winner. Hate is their weapon of choice these days.
