This is hysterical.

[docwebster]

The entire article is a pretty grim BBC opinion piece about the government's failure in the aftermath of Katrina, but the hysterical part are the responses. Not all the responses are utterly gibbering mad, of course, but this guy is a real prizewinner.

Genties and ladlemen, I give you the comedy stylings of Tracie Dixon from Sand Springs, Oklahoma:

As a proud southern American your article is so far from the truth I don't even now where to begin. What I read is a liberal, European, elitist view of this absolute tragedy. Americans will help each other regardless of colour or social level. As for aid from other nations, I for one say leave it. We can and will rebuild the ravaged areas ourselves.

This article is so wrong-headed, it is hard to even begin to criticize it in a short space, other than to say it is written by an anti-Bush foreigner who has little understanding of America. Bush was right: no-one could have predicted when this devastating storm would hit. I don't blame anyone for the tragedies of nature.

...Right, except for the people who did, in fact, predict when it hit. So, in essence, nobody could have predicted this just like nobody could have predicted 9/11.
