Let's cut down the Black Bush

I can see the cover of the New York Times already "How can 63,000 people be so dumb?"

Nagin and Bush have some similarities you just can't ignore.

1) They talk like us ordinary folks.

2) They would be fun to go hang out with over drinks.

3) They are compassionate for the regular people's plight

4) They are backed by many different Republican interest groups

5) They win on the public's stupidity and ability to become way too comfortable with talking points versus real ideas and their execution to improve the citizens' lives.

From the Library Chronicles: Much has been made over the last thirty years or so about the success of the Republican party in using racial fear and animosity to get poor and working class whites to vote against their own economic interest. I believe that Ray Nagin has stumbled upon the troubling fact that poor and middle class black voters can be similarly misled. If he continues to succeed in exploiting this fact, he is unbeatable. Previously I have pointed out the uncanny similarities between Ray Nagin and George Bush. I believe this comparisson is still valid. Nagin and Bush dance and misspeak in order to amuse, distract and divide the electorate while the big money movers behind them make off with the spoils.
