By now, I'm sure you've seen the damning video clip of Bush's Katrina teleconference with Michael Brown that was released yesterday afternoon.
If you follow this site, you know that -- for all the profound, destined-to-be-historical pictures that land here -- I don't throw around a lot of superlatives. Well today, that's out the window. Not from an aesthetic standpoint, of course, but from a political one, I found this picture absolutely stunning. For visual significance, I'd give it Abu Ghraib level impact. It reminds me of the disclosure of the Nixon's tapes.
How can I possibly make such comparisons?
