From the catty complaints over Melina Trump’s stilettos, to the whining about president Trump not showing “compassion” to the victims, to the gross and indecent cartoons about Texas they media has finally drop and pretense of what they think of themselves and what they think about commons ordinary Americans.
From all objective criteria the local, state, and federal response to the disaster has been exemplary (so far).
In addition, the outpouring of support from ordinary people helping one another, saving one another’s lives, demonstrates what is best about the Texan character, and the American character in general.
However, that is not what the Trump loathing media wanted as the narrative. They desperately wanted the narrative to be of a colossal Katrina-size failure of a government lead by a reality show star who is in over his head.
To their great disappointment, Trump performed admirably in managing the federal response to the disaster. He appointed good, professional people in positions of authority who manage the response in a professional manner.
And not enough credit can be given to the point man in the response to the disaster; Texas governor Greg Abbot. His performance compared the ex-governor Kathleen Blanco in Katrina was like night and day. Where Blanco rolled up in a fetal position, overwhelmed by her responsibilities, Abbot immediately took charge and was proactive coordinating the local, state, and federal response.
The effort was so successful that the media could not find anything substantial to attack Trump with so they were reduced to attacking Melina’s shoes and whine over insubstantial optics.
This is the behavior of a group whose hate is so fundamental that they can no longer approach their tasks in a fair and professional manner. It’s small wonder that their credibility has tanked and that their approval ratings are not much better than Congresses.
But I think the topper was the gross and indecent cartoons published by so call main stream media outlets. A picture is worth a thousand words and in those pictures, was the undisguised elitism of the political class and their disdain and contempt for ordinary Americans living outside of the Arcelia corridor. They represent what is worst of the American character and are a disgrace to their country

Well said.
The irony is that Kathleen Blanco is now a disgraced ex-governor, Mayor Ray Nagin is in federal prison on corruption charges and the media wishes "W" was president again.
