Even though I listen to Rush AMAP: Rush blamed Haiti’s horrible conditions, both pre and post-earthquake, on its “socialist” government.
Yet, Sweden has a “socialist” government, and it seems to handle natural disasters rather well.
Sorry, El Rush Bo. Haiti isn’t the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere because it is “socialist,” it is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere because it is the blackest.
While we’re on the subject, the devastation has afforded a chance for American’s Special Envoy to Haiti to be on TV quite a lot in the next few days. And just who is that? Oh, right. Bill Clinton. That earthquake might have been the worst thing that ever happened to most of today’s Haitians, but it has saved Bill Clinton from total obscurity.
