I've been saving off the various comments made by "liberals" concerning Katrina. While I could discuss them here now, I think it's more appropriate to wait until the situation settles down somewhat.

However, one of the low points should be pointed out now: Jesse Jackson seems to be trying to incite a riot (link). While it's good of him to take in supplies, he really should concentrate on that. The fact that he'd make statements like those at this time shows what a low opportunist he is. And, instead of making excuses for the looters, perhaps he should show his leadership by encouraging them to stop.

On the bright side, perhaps someone like Giuliani, Powell, or Franks (link) could step in and offer leadership in this situation.
