From Rush Limbaugh:
Now, as inspired as I am about the heroic efforts of the rescuers and as awed as I am by the monumental cleanup task, I am disgusted by the looters, not just the looters of food and water, and not even the looters of television sets and DVD players. I'm disgusted by the looters of the tragedy, the low-life politicians picking at the bones of the tragedy for political gain. The low-life Bush-haters looking for their pound of flesh. Do I have to list the Nancy Pelosis and the Harry Reids and the Jesse Jacksons and the Howard Deans and the MoveOn.orgs and the New York Times, do I have to name them? Not really, because the same buzzards that circle every setback, that pick at every issue, are using an act of God to smear the president and the same buzzards are in the air over New Orleans and Mississippi now. Same people, with the same plan, same modus operandi. These people on the left have such a great plan. Maybe if they started planning hurricane evacuations and maybe if they started planning helping this country rather than destroying a president, maybe they would be of some use. Anybody can sit around and circle as a buzzard, anybody can sit around and criticize, whine, moan, and complain. 
By the way, as far as the rescue efforts go, have you heard of one rescuer refusing to rescue a black person on a roof? I haven't. So where, then, does this charge of racism enter the scene, ladies and gentlemen? It enters the scene because it's not real, it's merely part of the template through which the Bush critics look at him and his party and conservatism. Is there anything more patently absurd than listening to Mary Landrieu try to deflect responsibility from the Democrat mayor and the Democrat governor by saying, "Well, mayors can't get their people to work even on a sunny day much less come to work in a hurricane."
RUSH: All right, folks. (Laughing.) It's flat out amazing. Mayor Nagin and most mayors in this country have a hard time getting their people to work on a sunny day, let alone getting them out of the city in front of a hurricane? What? We simply can't expect certain big cities to work well because their employees won't show up? And it's unfair to hold them accountable because most mayors can't get their employees to work anyway? Isn't that what's called the soft bigotry of low expectations? Could it be said, ladies and gentlemen, that Mary Landrieu is making this argument because New Orleans has a high percentage of African-Americans in it who might make up quite a number of these employees that Mayor Nagin can't get to show up? I hope not, folks, I certainly hope not but I mean it certainly sounds that way.
