Blue-balled by fate,* and other observations of the blog commentertariat

Comment on a Think Progress post about FEMA's sort-of director Mike Brown's response to the public's response to Mike Brown's sort-of response to Hurricane Katrina ("Brown: I'm the victim"):

I think that the common conservative theme now is that all of the black people caught in NOLA are racist for doing this to George Bush, Brownie, and all of the white Republicans who now “have to feel guilty” for this.

Why can’t poor black people just leave rich, white people alone?

These polls all of them are full of doo doo. The President is doing just fine and who needs the polls? I don't.
