The LA Times ran an unusually harsh editorial on the city council’s decision to spend hours considering an anti-Iraq resolution while a gang war rages across the city:
The Los Angeles City Council deadlocked Tuesday on a proclamation opposing war in Iraq without United Nations backing. Meanwhile, the “war” here at home claimed another casualty. A 17-year-old girl shooting hoops at a city park in South Los Angeles caught a bullet in the head when three people in a gold Chevrolet fired at another car. She’s in critical condition. The council takes up Iraq again today.
It’s all about priorities, isn’t it? The first being the primacy of looking good over doing good.
UPDATE: Lonewacko reports that the idiots finally got their way and voted to give Iraq the finger.
