Cackles from the Balcony

Stay the Libertopian Course, pleads and wheedles Tom DeLay in the face of the dual devastations of a war of choice based on lies turned bloody quagmire in Iraq and an unprecedented ongoing failure of disaster response that managed to wipe a great American city off the map. His argument is rather stunning, but it is exactly what Eric predicted it would be the moment he heard that the criminally Fed-neglected levees had failed: Republicans must fuck up the government more because look how fucked up the government Republicans fucked up is.
