Meet your new scapegoat, same as the old scapegoat

The Right has found its scapegoat for Katrina -- drum roll please -- the new strawman is the Bureaucracy.

Just finished watching Scarborough and it was on the lips of every commentator and reporter. Not a person, not the administration, but the Bureaucracy. Much like the bogeyman, the bureaucracy in this case doesn't exist -- it is a convenient cutout that those who created this problem use to distract the nation.

This is the same tactic the Repubs used maybe 7-10 years ago. They wanted to get the average American really angry about taxes but because under Reagan and papa Bush they helped increase taxes, they need to create an enemy that they could focus people on. What did they come up with? The IRS. Blame the IRS for taxes, not the people in Congress who voted for all the taxes laws. No, no, it is the evil IRS.

Lets see how well this holds up...
