Haiti’s President

Haiti’s president, sadly, is no leader.

Here’s his interview with CNN. (does anyone else want to punch him?)

And here is a quote from the Washington Post.

He lamented that injured people have been lying in the streets since the quake struck, saying, “We don’t have the capacity to bring them to the hospital.”

May I suggest a bullhorn and volunteers from the groups of people not knowing how they can help?
I know, I know. I’m not there, but this guy is the President. And this quote is 2-3 days later. Imagine our President suggesting that “well, we just don’t have the ability…….”
(Yes – I am an American. I don’t “get” inaction.)

The Washington Post story lists the aid going into Haiti as I write. Unlike other times, this is definitely looking like an international effort and that pleases me.

Coakley is an idiot

MA is full of very smart people. If they really choose to elect Coakley at this point, I’ll be very surprised.

She has suggested that shaking hands outside of Fenway is somehow something she shouldn’t have to do.
That’s ok Martha, Scott Brown will handle those folks for you…..oh – yeah, that’s about 3/4 of the whole state!
