It's extremely stupid. By the time I caught his comments on CNN, he already elaborated further about his New Orleans qua "Chocolate City" comments. I think that he's neither explained nor retracted the hurricane and war connection. It must be a miracle, an absolute miracle. So, if God punishes New Orleans in such old Testament fashion, should Nagin be making a sacrifice at the temple? MLK day has been just about the worst ever for other politictians blathering beyond the expectations of the public. Hillary Clinton compared the White House to a plantation. Although her statement was applauded by the audience, the comparison only exposes her penchant for politicizing a day set aside for commemoration. It strikes me as rude: Attacking the White House could wait a day, couldn't it? Furthermore, Bush himself reportedly wrapped his MLK address around Lincon, not King. Eh, I suppose that the future of the MLK holiday will be to alter the football season so that the Super Bowel can be played on it.
