Frank Rich in NYT: 8 years of corruption, cronyism & incompetence...

[SpiralHawk]

I've always been astonished at how blatantly the Republicons lied about their THING for Nation Building -- and how in general the corporate media never called them on that, or anything really.

Thank heavens, in today's NYT, Frank Rich says it plain and simple: malfeasance and ineptitude

Eight Years of Madoffs (aka Republicons)

"THREE days after the world learned that $50 billion may have disappeared in Bernie Madoff’s Ponzi scheme, The Times led its front page of Dec. 14 with the revelation of another $50 billion rip-off. This time the vanished loot belonged to American taxpayers. That was our collective contribution to the $117 billion spent (as of mid-2008) on Iraq reconstruction — a sinkhole of corruption, cronyism, incompetence and outright theft that epitomized Bush management at home and abroad."
