Hurricane Katrina as Bush’s Kristallancht, according to Pandagon’s Jesse Taylor.
…Which, is it fair for me to invoke Godwin’s law if Jesse’s been careful enough to subcontract out the Goebbel’s function to a natural phenomenon?

update: In his inimitable style, Jesse responds by calling me a “fucking idiot,” forgetting, it seems, that his archives are filled with so much concentrated stupidity that should they ever burst open and their contents spill into the water supply, well…we’d all wind up just as stunningly stupid as Jesse, I suppose…
God forfend.

update 2: Politicizing it? Us? Please.
What the fuck is going on here? Serioulsy, the Left needs to stop. For their own good.
I love the discussion over there about whether Ray Nagin is enough of a Democrat that they should support his efforts. He’s the mayor of a city just devastated by a hurricane. Did he or did he not protect people under his care and did he have plans in place for this disaster? His political affiliation has absolutely zero bearing on these questions.
Yet his politics are the first concern with these cheery idiots. I’d like to say “unbelieveable”, but it’s really not. How very truly sad.
The left is seriously in need of a strong Democratic politician who can throttle them. Until the find one…well, the Republicans survived forty years in the wilderness.
Don’t forget, people. Bush may be Hitler, but Nagin? A hero.
That makes me sick. In light of this.
All reports I have read relates emergency vehicles (ambulances & fire trucks) all under water, police vehicles under water, not enough boats and the mayor supposedly knew there would be flooding.
Isn’t he the one, who on Tuesday, said, “We have it under control?”
God, you’re an idiot.
Who would they blame if Gore or Kerry was president? Or would their election cause Katrina never to form?
Someone has to ask the tough questions…
Give me your home address, Jesse, and I’ll come over and give you the spanking your parents should have given your bitch ass long ago, before you turned into a smug little 125-pound pre-cancerous mole on the body politic.
Fuck you, you whiny pussy.
Yes!
tw: While I’m gonna while away the afternoon watching Jeff bitch-slap Jesse Taylor.
Thanks for posting the link, so people can see for themselves that Amanda didn’t call Katrina “Bush’s Kristallnacht”.
Don’t whine before you’re hurt, binky.
Jeff give me your home address and I will send my limp wristed, arthritic grandmother over to show you how a reall ass kicking is delivered. You stupid fucking obtuse Bush ball licking mother fucker.
Now let your pussy ass bitchy baby reflexive bullshit begin. Fuck you.
Jesse –
if you actually read your Leftist Guide to Nazi Analogies, you’d note that Hitler had a nice, long successful run after Kristallnacht – followed by a rather short, rather bloody finish.
Maybe you’d like to fastforward your analogy abit. Try this one: “Katrina is Bush’s Stalingrad” .
That way you could toss in a bunch of how, after advancing for years, Bush is now retreating, Nature itself is conspiring against Bush and his Evil Plans at taking over the world (it was very cold for the Nazis.) And, eventually, you end up with Bush in a bunker.
See … the narrative practically writes itself.
So, there … have at it.
Make a Juan Colean edit to correct, and very few people will be the wiser.
I don’t blame the wingers for being pissed. Their boys have finally been exposed as the complete and total incompetents they are, but this time they can’t hide behind anti-left patriotism smears.
All they have now is pathetic, childish internet threats. As New Orleans burns.
It’d be cute if it weren’t so horrifying.
The good news is: the progressives continue downward in a self-consuming spiral of insanity and hate, hopefully leaving a void that reasonable people can fill and create a functioning Democratic Party.
Well, this is gonna delay the little fella’s friday dance session for sure.
Ethan is my son’s name. He is 14 it is time for a name change.
It’s not nice to fool with wingers. We have guns.
Read the post. Then read the first post linked to in the said post. Consider your comment in the light of this new information.
Or continue spreading some weird kind of lie-thing that takes about 10 seconds to disprove – which, hilariously, none of the commenters here are even bothering with. Whatever works.
I don’t know if it’s a question of “nice,” MC. I think it’s more a question of “smart.”
I tried giving you my home address, “Human Being,” but you left a fake name and a fake email address. Which, that’s what you pussies do, isn’t it?
Email me and I’ll send you my home address. Then, you can send your grandmother over to do your fighting for you.
Only fair, right? You’re probably living in her basement, anyway.
HumanBeing: Is that one of those ironic nicknames?
Human Being and Jesse can’t respond just now. They’re helping those sheep through the fence…
yep they are really into irony.
You know the thinking we are all human beings blah, blah, blah
What is nonymous talking about? Is he claiming the reference to Krystallancht had nothing to do with GW Bush?
Am I the only one who looks at Jesse’s logo and thinks he’s a probable furvert?
Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
“Read the post. Then read the first post linked to in the said post. Consider your comment in the light of this new information.”
OMFG THE PRESIDENT WAS HOPEFUL AND OPTIMISTIC!!!!!!!
Now I see, and your outrage is completely understandable, how dare a leader exhibit anything but dispair and defeatism when the chips are down. Or anytime for that matter.
Someone should tell the folks over at Pandagon to stop sniffing glue–the brain damage is starting to show.
I AM NOT AN ANIMAL!
(Except that, I’m certainly neither vegetable nor mineral.)
I read the post and the link, nonymous. Jesse’s smarmy little joke—joining in with all the other smarmy little jokes suggesting that Bush is minimizing the tragedy while being overly optimistic—is beside the point. The point is, Jesse chose Kristallnacht to frame the joke.
His frame. Live with it.
“Am I the only one who looks at Jesse’s logo and thinks he’s a probable furvert?
Not that there’s anything wrong with that.”
and under those furry costumes we are all human beings
Read the post. Then read the first post linked to in the said post. Consider your comment in the light of this new information.
Okay, I’ll “bother” with it.
That’s a fun little game being played with what I’ll admit wasn’t the smartest thing the President could have said. But I’m not at all impressed with the feigned outrage over what Jeff wrote, since Jesse’s first impulse was obviously to play the tired old Bush = Hitler card. At least some of the others playing the game bothered to show a shred of creativity (I liked the Death Star/Alderan one).
Come back qand complain when your guy isn’t quite so easily busted for some intelectually lazy bullshit.
Sorry Jeff; nonymous can’t respond just now. He’s busy sniffing Jesse’s throne.
I’ve got to leqarn to type a little faster.
“What is nonymous talking about? Is he claiming the reference to Krystallancht had nothing to do with GW Bush?”
Reading comprehension problem, is my guess. I think he/she thinks it says “is” and not “as.”
I imagine it’s something like emasculation.
The impotent rage of not being able to call the left “weak” or “accomodationist” or to conjure up the scary spectre of dusky enemies.
Instead, there’s just the flaccidity of your heroes’ reckless, criminal incompetence. And the growing realization that the shit has, in fact, hit the fan.
I see your tiny weenies shrink in horror as the truth (as it tends to, eventually) slips out. You try to compensate for your shrinking member by bringing up—what else?—your gun.
You type away and make more impotent threats and talk about shooting libruls but you glance down and it’s. just. getting. smaller.
But you’re wanking away, and you’ve almost got it chubbed up, thinking about kicking that awful Jesse Taylor in the face, but–that derned lefty MSM just keeps showing those pictures of those dead fucking niggers. Droopsville.
Again, this would all be a hoot if there weren’t hundreds of dead bodies floating around New Orleans and the enormity of the suffering of thousands of Americans.
Hey Ethan; you’re Mom says “Hi!”
Sorry about that Ethan; that should be “your”. In all the “excitement” I typed the word improperly. It should read “Your Mom and Sister say “Hi!”
Wow. Guns really are like penises, man.
That’s, like, so totally deep.
/1972
Ethan I don’t have tiny weenie. In fact I don’t have a weenie at all. However I am sure I have bigger balls than you. I am woman but I sure you have little experience with my gender.
I’ll just be over here in the corner singing.
Ethan, Gore Vidal just called, he wants his projectionist prose back.
He said you have his number.
Wow, ethan said “nigger”, he’s fuckin’ hard core, man.
Do you have a point, ethan? I can’t tell with that dunce cap on your head.
Sorry OT
quote from the furvert page
“Increasingly, furverts are beginning to explore BDSM scenarios and BDSM fantasies, particularly ponyplay.”
Not sure I want to know about ponyplay but I have an idea
I’m sorry I’ve read the post and the link and it’s pretty apparent Taylor was and is treading on the Bushitler theme. there is also a stronge illogic to it. Krystallancht was an intetnional act. Is he claiming the hurricane was intentional? I see alot of folks who have come over to argue, but I don’t see anyone actually defending a post that was reprehensible.
you just don’t get how everything is the president’s fault corvan, what’s wrong with you?
But Blowhard, he’s being edgy, man.
Katrina? Bush’s firehoses. His German Shepherds. His Bull Fucking Connor, man. Dig it?
But he’s been exposed, Bush has! Because Blacks are dying, man – and Bush doesn’t care—at least, not like Ethan, who is showing just how much he cares by, y’know, posting in the comments section of a blog.
FIGHT THE PIXELS, ETHAN!
Good grief. What’s with the heavy focus on their dicks, ethan?
Yeesh.
okay, self-proclaimed ‘wingers’? if y’all want to go and have a pissing match to draw attention away from the fact you can’t parse a joke, let alone take one, could you hold said pissing match down in new orleans? there are an awful lot of chemical-plant fires you could be putting out. and all that hot air of yours might help dry up the floodwaters, so we can get around to a body count. cheers.
Jesse’s hero….
The Hurricane Emergency Evacuation Standard Operating Procedure is designed to deal with all case scenarios of an evacuation in response to the approach of a major hurricane towards New Orleans. It is designed to deal with the anticipation of a direct hit from a major hurricane. This includes identifying the city’s present population, its projected population, identification of at-risk populations (those living outside levee protection or in storm-surge areas, floodplains, mobile homes, etc.)…
Conduct of an actual evacuation will be the responsibility of the Mayor of New Orleans…
The person responsible for recognition of hurricane related preparation needs…is the Mayor of the City of New Orleans…
http://www.cityofno.com/SystemModules/PrintPage.aspx?portal=46&tabid=26
Keep running with that “can’t parse a joke” thing, halation. That’ll sell here.
For the record: I know it was a joke. I read the thread of jokes. Doesn’t matter. It was a joke that tethered itself indirectly to the Bush = Hitler meme.
Maybe Jesse didn’t do it consciously, I don’t know. I mean, it’s possible that he’s just internalized the comparison to such a degree that now he can’t escape it, even when he’s trying to make a joke that doesn’t lend itself to the equivalency I pointed up.
But that would be even more sad, wouldn’t it?
The impotent rage of not being able to call the left “weak†or “accomodationistâ€Â
Because …………..why?
No, seriously, why can’t we call the Left ‘weak’ or ‘accomodationist’ …
Kos does it all the time.
The guy that has “We Fight Back” graphic
… on a WWII vintage bomber ….
he says that too.
The Elected Left is Weak and Accomodationist.
Just ask the unelected, unaccountable Left.
Ohhhhhhh, comparing Bush to Hitler is a joke, boy do I feel stupid! Especially since the veiled comparison was cleverly tied to Bush making a somewhat inappropriate joke. I see now.
It’s just been hard for me to tell when you guys are joking, especially after I found out you were serious about running John Kerry.
could you hold said pissing match down in new orleans? there are an awful lot of chemical-plant fires you could be putting out.
Uh, how would unqualified ‘wingers’ help in putting fires out? We’d only get in the way.
Anymore gems like this suggestion?
BTW, I’ve read quite a few blog posts by lefties claiming they refuse to donate money, all due to partisan politics. Really disgusting, that.
Can we question your patriotism yet?
You know with all the talk about “ponyplay”, and ethan gettin’ all butch on us, this is MUCH better than the stinkin armadillo.
Whadya say Jeff, can we keep ethan and have HIM dance every Friday like this?
Pleeeeeese?
What you’ve just written, Jeff, is the most insanely idiotic thing I’ve ever read. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having read it.
BLASPHEMER!!!!
tw: case. the case may be that i’m partial, being in texas and all.
How many are in the room there with you, Fecke? I am concerned if you get much dumber you might forget to feed yourself.
What you’ve just written, Jeff, is the most insanely idiotic thing I’ve ever read. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having read it.
Jeff, do you mean what you, Jeff, just wrote or what another Jeff just wrote? Because you aren’t being very clear.
Likewise, if you are insane, can you really be an idiot?
How many are in the room there with you, Fecke? I am concerned if you get much dumber you might forget to feed yourself.
Damn you, now I’ve got that Looney Tunes cartoon running in my empty head:
“BREATHE DUMMY! YOU FORGOT TO BREATHE AGAIN!”
Just thought I’d point out that I’m being lectured on making people dumb from a guy quoting Billy Madison.
Carry on.
WE are multi-culti here. There is room under this great big tent called life.
Armadillo dancing, ponyplay and ethan’s weenie talk can all exist together.
I’m with TomB, it had to have been self-referential.
I’m still chuckling over the guy who referred to us as “self-proclaimed wingers”? Self-proclaimed? Yes, we refer to ourselves—proudly even, because we’re silly like that—as wingers. Sometimes, when we’re sure there are no liberals around to spoil the mood, we declare ourselves to be fascists.
Jesse:
Didn’t Giuliani deal with the same federal government that Nagin is now? Since the federal government is the same, perhaps the difference is with the mayors.
Giuliani: fix the problem
Nagin: fix the blame
Jeff, I think you have misunderstood poor Jesse. If he was calling you an idiot, he would have written “God, but you’re an idiot”, or “God save us, but you’re an idiot”. But by writing “God, you’re an idiot”, Jesse is calling God himself an idiot, and I think we should all be kind to him during such a shattering crisis of faith.
Unless Jesse is just an ungramatical idiot. Then fuck him.
Just thought I’d point out that I’m being lectured on making people dumb from a guy quoting Billy Madison.
Not to mention a guy who’s so insecure with his side of the political spectrum he feels the need to refer to himself as “moderate”. Which is hilarious.
I have grammer down, man, speling nut so gud.
You wingnuts are right. Now is not the time for recriminations and politiciation. Now is the time for action.
But due to the incompitence of our leaders no action is happening. And since they’re in full ass-covering mode we might as well go strait to the fight.
Your idiot boy king has screwed the pooch and you are staring your doom in the face. Your asses are so ours.
We ain’t talking a slovenly geek like Clinton. We ain’t talking no pussy ass like John Kerry.
We’re talking Kingfish baby.
FD fucking R.
You see, it doesn’t matter to people like Tuttle that Bush isn’t to blame. It’s all, can we get people to THINK he’s to blame, because if we can, we can maybe regain POWER.
Over the dead bodies of, by one estimate, 10,000, Tuttle will take “action” not by helping out the flood victims, but by trying his damndest to turn a natural disaster into an albatross around the President’s neck.
BUT DON’T YOU DARE QUESTION HIS PATRIOTISM!
Jesus. What a fuckwit.
Should the Left ever win, who’s going to man (person?) the firing squads for all of us who have stood in opposition to the dominant paradigm?
Turing word: needed
But due to the incompitence of our leaders no action is happening.
I love it. He calls Bush an idiot, but spells incompetence incorrectly. Can’t chalk that up to a typo, either. Mmmmm.. irony.
And no action? None? Are you fucking kidding us?
Your wet dreams of this hurting Republicans ain’t gonna come to fruition, either. Politicizing this thing so soon is gonna come back to bite you guys in the ass. Big time.
Kingfish? Did he really just ask for Huey Long to return? Does he realize that FDR once said that if he accomplished nothing else at least he kept that sonofabitch away from the presidency.
You know kids, at some point you’re going to need something other than anger and bad words if you really want to rule the roost.
Turing word: forms
Maybe he meant Winger? I know I would find that a pretty effective insult.
then why isn’t my husband here? i guess the national guard called him up just as a joke?
Since I live right by a river in Washington state, I’ve been through a few floods here. I’ve stacked sandbags on the side of the river as it rose 20 feet or so and threathened our neighborhood – for about 16 hours straight.
I’ve assisted in clean-up operations in our town after it was covered with water for a week.
I have pumped water out of the crawl space in my home while our entire neighborhood was flooded – using a 70 gallon per minute pump and a 15 gal per minute pump that I drove from a generator – and I did this for 10 days solid with almost no sleep. The water never reached my first floor thankfully.
I have an earthquake preparedness kit and a flood preparedness kit in the garage and am of the view that just about whatever happens, I can take care of myself and those around me for a couple of months should something really bad happen here.
In my experience – with the exception of borrowing the 70 gal per minute pump from the local firehouse, I have never received any government support to recover from these situations.
So, little ethan, or little jesse, or whoever, you little pol-looters of the soul, if you escape your mothers and come on my property to attack those who assist the helpless and denigrate those who take personal responsibility for what happens to them, I will take you out to the river and drown you like puppies, ‘cause that’s the other thing about us wingers. We drown puppies.
and then make shakes out of them. mmmmmm, blended puppy.
You are correct, Sir. Jesse is a pussy. Once he allowed Amanda Marcotte (aka PandaPuss) to post there, the whole thing has degenerated into what you see today.
Jesse has a degree in religion and works for Jerry Springer radio. Ain’t that a hoot? And Panda Puss doesn’t even have a degree. That ignorant bitch works as a flunky for the college in admissions. It’s a dead-end low level job. Here is the link: http://mba.mccombs.utexas.edu/staff.asp There you will find her work email and her work phone number. Perhaps you could give her a call sometime. To find Jesse’s address, all you need do is go to “whois” and plug in ‘Pandgon.net’ and there it is.
Hope this helps!
Geez, Amamda should have opted for the “photo not available” option.
tw: fact
GOLDSTEIN, GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!!
He works for Springer?
LMAO! Imma have to leave him alone then, no wonder the poor bastard is brain-dead after being exposed to that intellectual black hole.
It’s bad enough that the Dems have been relying on dead voters, but now they’re going to be running dead candidates, too?
BUT WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO THE HYPOCRISY?
I have to question the leadership quality of a mayor who fails to move hundreds of buses, police cars, ambulances etc.etc.etc. to higher ground BEFORE the hurricane hits. Some great leader he turned out to be, many from his own police force resigned in the middle of a crisis.
What is freaky is the adoration shown to one who failed so miserably at providing his populace the leadership necessary in such a crisis.
Reminds me of people who adore former President Carter. We can never let these nuts have any form of power other than the power to spew forth intellectually vacuous raging hate speech.
I hope Democrat’s Nagin and the LA governor do not resort to the lowly tactic of instigating a racial hate fest to cover up their massive failures.
Wingers?
The Buffalo Screams for Liberal Meat!
I like mine really hot, BTW. With ranch dressing and a cool, smooth brewski to wash ‘em down. Amber ales preferred.
Now- see if you can get the trains to run on time, Jeff – you notorious right-wing gormplog.

My God. A bizarre megalomaniacal streak combined with a paucity of spirit not often found outside of a rabid hyena. It must be a horrible burden to live like that, day in and day out: always small, angry, and impotent.
Jesse Taylor et al:
Chicken-benefactors.
Heh. TW: “indeed”.
How about declaring the Superdome a shelter and then not putting any supplies there? It would have been fairly simple to park a few semi-trailers full of food and water there before the storm hit.
And the racial hate fest has already begun, the truly rabid moon-bats are calling it a genocide.
All I know is given that my present home of Atlanta has been blessed with less than sterling leadership these past few years, I am beefing up my survival kit in case we are the next to get hit.
Oooh, a Kristallnacht!
I bet that has Cindy “Get the Jews our of Palestine”/”My son died for Israel” Sheehan’s panties dripping wet with anticipation.
My heart is out of this fight. I pity the fool who works for Jerry Springer…
<blockquote>Geez, Amamda should have opted for the “photo not available†option.
man, she works with, *for*, some hotties.
I bet she just hates that…
…
Wow… thems are some lefty idiots.
I am flabbergasted at the incredible intellectual weight of the comments here. Scales are just falling offa my eyes, I tell ya.
Not satisfied? I’ll get the government right on it.
Because damnit, You’re owed intellectual weight.
BUSH OWES YOU!
Is Tuttle real? He can’t be, he just can’t be. One of you has to cop to making him up or my head will explode.
“Your asses are so ours”
My ass way to good for your sorry self.
Damn you nolo, here I was about to ask Jeff his opinion of the new (merely self-referential or full-on self-indulgent?) Brett Easton Ellis novel and you had to interrupt my train of thought.
I was going to bring the heavy shit, man, the heavy shit. And you had to ruin it. I hope you’re proud of yourself.
By the way, Jeff, check it out. It’s interesting because I remember you referring to American Psycho as a performative when I was complaining about his recurring plotlessness. I don’t know how I’d classify the new one.
Got a link to prove it susan?
Just kidding.
Haven’t read it yet, Jer. At all interesting and worth the investment?
…
…
Susan, can I have yer phone number?
Ahem, it has been a while since we got a drive-by self-important jackass. nolo fits the bill. In fact, I know of only one self-important jackass who says “nunya bizness” so I might accidentally know him, but I cannot be sure.
Here’s a pretty good review, Jeff.
I’d say definitely worth the read (hardcover purchase? well, it’s not his best) from the library at least.
Personally, I thought it went somewhere and meets the standard definition of a novel but by pulling himself into the story he created a frame that he can’t close in the end. It’s interesting that way. Like he should of performed a publicity stunt that you’d read about in the paper (outside of the novel, where he is as the author) to close the little loop again.
Jesse never said Katrina was Bush’s Kristallnacht, he wrote what Bush would have said if he had been President during Kristallnacht. You owe Jesse an apology.
Sym, you owe me an apology for wasting those 5 seconds of my life.
