Brian DeBose tries a bit too hard in The Washington Times

Blacks fault lack of local leadership�-�Nation/Politics�-�The Washington Times, America's Newspaper:

"While a few black leaders, including the Rev. Jesse Jackson, the Rev. Al Sharpton and the Congressional Black Caucus, have singled out the president for blame, others say Mayor C. Ray Nagin, who is black, is responsible for the dismal response to the flooding that stranded thousands in the city's poorest sections.

"'Mayor Nagin has blamed everyone else except himself,' said the Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson, founder and president of the Brotherhood Organization of a New Destiny."

That first sentence quoted above ought to substitute "most" for "a few." I appreciate the work Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson does as the anti-Jesse Jackson, but one swallow doesn't make a summer.

However, one of the challenges for the GOP - which they are not up to - is to pin this tail squarely on the donkeys of the Democrat power establishment. both black and white.
