Limbaugh goes back on the air in New Orleans

Last week, New Orleans radio station WWL put Rush Limbaugh back on the air for the first time since Katrina changed everything. One of his main topics that day was blasting the city of New Orleans and the state of Louisiana. He couldn't figure out why people were saying things were in bad shape in New Orleans; as far as he knew, things were going well. And what was this nonsense about no place to live? And it was the city's fault the levees were faultily constructed.

The station is inviting him to come here and see for himself the terrible destruction and the lack of federal response. It won't matter; he'll find a way to blame the state and the city for everything.

The issue is: Will any of Limbaugh's idiot fans see him for the lying piece of garbage he is? My guess is no. They found a way to let him off the hook for being a drug addict and a criminal, and they will find a way to let him off the hook for this. It doesn't help that the state's lack of foresight does play into the tragedy, and it doesn't help that the state legislature just showed its ass bigtime in a special session. But the facts remain: a federal agency built slipshod levees, and then refused to respond when a major tragedy occurred.
