Hey, at least when I talk to ghosts, I have the courtesy to identify them as such.

Ah, Richard Roeper. Undoubtedly one of the dimmest lights in the entire marquee. A neverending source of mediocre cogitation.
tw: thinking. What must he have been…?
While, looks like Russert was used like a bargain rate Dan Rather / Mary Mapes.
But will he feel outraged at having been used like a puppet in whose rectum Aaron Broussard’s hand slipped so readily and fight back? Or will he take one for the team…?
I wondered about that when I heard it, she finally drowned on Friday? What did she tread water for four days?
But seeing as how I sometimes try to conceal what a heartless bastard I am I didn’t say anything out loud.
Jeff—interesting investigation of other misleading comments by Broussard.
Hey, when you can start channeling them you can run for national office. And be taken seriously by some.
“Performative”? All I can say is, if Broussard strips naked and douses himself in chocolate syrup at the climax of this ridiculous faux outburst, then I’m leaving. Because Karen Finlay is way hotter.
(NB: Karen Finlay is not at all hot.)
That’s pretty good “heartless bastarding,” B Moe. I can do heartless bastard, too. Have you ever seen such a bunch of fat “starving” people in your life as we saw on TV after Katrina? The average weight of an adult evacuee must’ve been at least 220 lbs. They should’ve forgotten the MREs for the adults and just given them water and fruit (fruit went uneaten at the Astrodome when the “starving” evacuees arrived, according to my mother-in-law, a volunteer there).
It makes you wonder 1) were they really “starving,” or were they just missing that New Orleans-patented “meal between breakfast and brunch?” 2) why the MREs in NO and the Astrodome didn’t last as long as officials thought they would. If everyone’s pounding three of them at a time, that might lead to shortages.
(/heartless bastard)
Surely they weren’t starving, Mac. Just ask Randall Robinson.
You’re right, Sean. My bad. I forgot that according to Robinson, it’s almost impossible for “black victims” to starve…not when they’ve got a good supply of corpses to cannibalize after a couple days. And, you know, my brothaz got those big, meaty thighs and butts, as Jimmy the Greek would say, were he not worm food.
TW: “serious.” No, really.
oh my lord, do you know how many calories are in an mre? rto told me that he would sometimes spread one out over the day when he was in afghanistan, because he wasn’t that active.
and b moe, you weren’t alone in your heartlessness. though mine was more along the lines of, “and what were you doing sir? i mean besides getting interviewed on tv.”
That crossed my mind too, maggie. If my Mother was trapped in that situation I would not be waiting for someone else to go get her. They phrase “Hell or high water” comes to mind in fact.
Of course, being the lawyer I am (hence evil by nature), my thought was that he was spreading a smokescreen to cover up for his failures. You know, to actually do what he was supposed to do in a disaster situation and apparently did not do?
Word: Set. It appears Mr. Broussard wishes to set someone else up to take the fall for him.
B Moe made me laugh. I guess I’m well on my way to “heartless bastard” too. Wheeeeee!
