internik: "A righteous and purposeful indignation..."

over at kos, internik captures many of my own thoughts and feelings... i've already exploded and cried several times the past few days, both in front of friends and over the phone... bush needs to resign along with all his cabinet heads...

What I have experienced in the past week, and what the nation has experienced, is the utter collapse and failure of the Republican federal government. Their very philosophy lies in ruins, drowned for all to see at the bottom of Lake New Orleans. This goes beyond politics. This goes beyond partisanship. What we have seen is 100% absolutely unforgivable.

It's worse than the abstract injustice of cutting taxes for the wealthiest 1% of Americans or the allotment of lucrative no-bid contacts to Halliburton, a company that overcharges and under-performs by millions. It's worse than the bankruptcy bill numbers game that will hurt American lives. And it's even worse than sending American soldiers to fight in a trumped up war without adequate armor.

This is about people's lives and livelihoods being torn apart brutally and viscerally with an immediacy that is so obvious that it boggles the mind that the President of the United States was eating cake like Marie Antoinette and strumming a guitar like Nero while New Orleans was being destroyed.
