Friedman awakes

Thomas Friedman usually is a schill for the Bush Administration, but it looks like Katrina has pushed him too far to do it any more. It's good to see that the media is finally waking up and reporting on the news instead of on Michael Jackson or other non-news like the girl who disappeared in Aruba (although I did see them break from the hurricane coverage on Tuesday or Wednesday to talk about Aruba). However, it looks like Bush is getting ready to smear Governor Blanco (of LA) and New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin, both Democrats in a red state and give the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Michael Chertoff and (Arabian Horse Judge, now head of FEMA) Michael Brown. Hopefully everyone else will realize how little Bush really cares for Americans who do not give his campaigns money.
