La. Gov. Kathy Blanco Gets A Free Pass
Despite her incompetence matched only by her audacity, Louisiana Gov. Kathy Blanco was let off the hook yesterday by Republicans, who agreed not to question her about the handling of Katrina.
What’s worse, because the Republicans must be sooo worried about accusations of fingerpointing, they THANKED HER for “taking the high road.”
This coming from the same folks who beat up former FEMA director Michael Brown just a day earlier.
What the hell?
While we don’t mind taking off the gloves in the spirit of gender equality, TheAnchoress beats us to the punch.
No ducking this one, as she writes:
(Hattip: Michelle Malkin)
As a woman I am appalled at the kid-glove treatment of Gov. Blanco who makes all women in positions of power look bad. As a fairly new conservative, I just don’t understand.
. . .I’m sorry…but you sit around day after day watching the opposition savage your party leadership and blame your president for every ill in the world, with the full complicity and assist of the press, and then - on two occasions in one week - you find yourself with LEGITIMATE (not spurious) reasons to do some serious jawboning with members of the opposition party, and you roll on your backs and pant, “please rub our bellies…â€Â
. . .
No…nope! You’ll have to convince me that there is something going on in the GOP besides a suicidal desire to be loved, before I can - in good conscience - send another dime of our hard-earned your way.
Perhaps the RNC has been made soft by too much “sensitivity-training.”
Gentlemen, time to toughen up. Or is Tom DeLay the only one ready to fight?

Neither of which seems to want to put up a fight. Democrats, for all their screw ups and laughable positions, come out swinging every time! Republicans seem to act like pacifist hippies “Why you doing that man? Just relax and be cool man! No need to get hostile, we’re in the right…man.” If we went after the Democrats with half the Dems intensity we could smash them for good in a decade tops.
