Which will be worse? Obama's flu or W's hurricane?

If Michele Bachmann’s district included local territory, I would never have to look for something to write about. She would be the gift that keeps on giving. But once in a while I suppose it is not extremely out of order to note her once in a while, since national coverage usually just lists her as “R-Minnesota” and, unless we make it clear every once in a while, people from elsewhere might think she is ours.


Finding any relevance in the “fact” that the flu named after swine has come twice when Democrats are president requires a stretch of one’s brain that I doubt that few of us could ever manage. And on top of that, as many are now pointing out, it is not even historically accurate.


W was never blamed for Hurricane Katrina, just for the inadequate response for it. But if we use Ms. Bachmann’s approach, we have one more less than satisfactory thing to put into the last president’s historical file.
