"A realm of madness"

Power Line

Inspired by the misfortune of having to appear with Sidney Blumenthal on the BBC to discuss the government's response to Katrina, David Frum has this (among other things) to say:
    To review the wild, contradictory, and utterly 
opportunistic charges from the administration's critics
is to enter a realm of madness. . . .Is there not
something bizarre about their willingness to fire off
accusation after accusation, each contradicting the last?
The disaster was caused by the Bush administration's
failure to protect the environment from global
warming .... no, no, it was caused by the
administration's refusal to manipulate the environment by
funding more levees to control the Mississippi River ....
it's Iraq, no it's budget cuts, no it's wetlands, and on
and on and on.
    Good God, what is wrong with these people? Will they ever 
learn to see somebody else's misfortune as something more
than their political opportunity?

I doubt it, but in my opinion they will continue to pay a price for their crass opportunism.

Frum also provides links to some of the better responses to some of the left's charges.
