Here are the facts.
Little Lord Fauntroy. Why is Wesley still being interviewed? How can this buffoon be taken seriously? I gotta hand it to Bob Scheiffer, he actually questioned the idiotic statement (one of thousands by Little Fauntroy) that McCain has no "Real World Experience", as if Obama does.
Obama, of course, immediately, disassociated himself from this blatent pander. I hope this is the last we hear or see of Wesley Clark.
Got this in an e-mail and I don't need to check Schnopes, this is clearly the case.

The below is so very true. The self reliance shown by people of the mid-west stands so far apart from the 'people' in N.O. that were in the exact same situation.
Also, there was/is zero looting. I have pretty much given up hope for the 'victims' of that culture. Welfare has reduced them to what they are today. Sad, very, very sad...

Subject: Questions on the Flooding in Iowa
Something to think about.
Where are all of the Hollywood celebrities holding telethons asking for help in restoring Iowa and helping the folks affected by the floods?
Where is all the media asking the tough questions about why the federal government hasn't solved the problem? Asking where the FEMA trucks (and trailers) are?
Why isn't the Federal Government relocating Iowa people to free hotels in Chicago?
When will Spike Lee say that the Federal Government blew up the levees that failed in Des Moines?
Where are Sean Penn and the Dixie Chicks?
Where are all the looters stealing high-end tennis shoes and big screen television sets?
When will we hear Governor Chet Culver say that he wants to rebuild a 'vanilla' Iowa, because that's the way God wants it?
Where is the hysterical 24/7 media coverage complete with reports of cannibalism?
Where are the people declaring that George Bush hates white, rural people?
How come in 2 weeks, you will never hear about the Iowa flooding ever again?
Windfall Tax on Retirement Income
Adding a tax to your retirement is simply another way of saying to the American people, you're so darn stupid that we're going to keep doing this until we drain every cent from you. That's what the Speaker of the House is saying.
Read below...............from an e-mail..........
Nancy Pelosi wants a Windfall Tax on Retirement Income. In other words tax what you have made by investing toward your retirement. This woman is a nut case! You aren't going to believe this.
Madam speaker Nancy Pelosi wants to put a Windfall Tax on all stock market profits (including Retirement fund, 401K and Mutual Funds!
Alas, it is true - all to help the 12 Million Illegal Immigrants and other unemployed Minorities!
This woman is frightening.
She quotes... ' We need to work toward the goal of equalizing income, (didn't Karl Marx say something like this), in our country and at the same time limiting the amount the rich can invest.' ( I am not rich, are you)
When asked how these new tax dollars would be spent, she replied: 'We need to raise the standard of living of our poor, unemployed and minorities. For example, we have an estimated 12 million illegal immigrants in our country who need our help along with millions of unemployed minorities. Stock market windfall profits taxes could go a long way to guarantee these people the standard of living they would like to have as 'Americans'.' (Read that quote again and again and let it sink in. 'Lower your retirement, give it to others who have not worked as you have for it'.
