Man, it’s too bad Irv Rubin’s dead. He would have been the perfect contender for this three-way slugfest. How about Baruch Goldstein?
The question is would Farrakhan and Robertson join forces against Goldstein a la the Even Stevens against Jon Stewart?
“Farrakhan’s a prophet that I think you ought to listen to!”
… and then he says something like this and I gotta wonder about Chuck D, too.
Goldberg? My moneys’s on him.
Yeah. I remember the first time I played my Public Enemy 20th Century Masters disc and stumbled across that line. Really took me out of things.
But in this case, all the breaks were on the Lake Ponchartrain side, so they wouldn’t have relieved pressure anywhere else. Not that this would stop Farrakhan from spinning wild theories, of course.
One quote from Random’s link:
It’s a shame people fuel such nonsense rumours without stopping to think that a levy collapsing under the pressure from millions of tonnes of water might make a pretty loud ‘boom’ all by itself.
Let me just throw some deisel on this thing by saying that not too many years back (1997?), rural communities and farms were flooded by an immensely swollen Red River diverted (by man) from more populated Winnipeg… Mind you, I doubt any racism was involved, that being Manitoba.
The Main Levee break was in what is actually a middle & upper middle class area.
These houses ended up 9 feet deep. My BIL & SIL house had the entire first floor flooded.
Step 7.
Step 8 is tying a dozen filled sandbags around Farrakhan’s neck, telling him to fix the levees, and then pushing him off into the ocean.

Goldstein? He was killed on the spot.
You can have Moshe Levinger instead (you can look the name up). I sure as hell don’t want him around anymore.
I heard someone say that the tsunami was a result of a deliberate explosion under the ocean’s floor planted by the government. When I asked why anyone would do such a thing, she said it was to devert the negative publicity about Bush and the war.
Anything’s possible, but not everything’s plausible.
Would this be regular kind of sandbag or the exploding kind? 
The kind with bow ties on them.

nah, goldberg works way too stiff, and we know how Robertson hates stiff men.
Isn’t Farrakhan one of those who pop up whenever it is a National or Global event to spew nonsense?
Y’know what someone needs to invent?
A Whack a Mole game with Farrakhan, Swaggart, Roberts and the rest of the loony bin whackjobs heads popping out. I think I’d throw in Michael Jackson too.
WHAM!
Now, that’d be entertainment.
I pit the fools who listen to poverty pimps like Farrakhan, Jackson and Sharpton and are stupid enough to believe them.
In reference to Farrakhan, I think Helen Reddy said it best:
“It’s so nice to be insane
No one asks you to explain…”
Boy I don’t like Sharpton much, but lumping him in with Louis isn’t really fair.
I remember hearing several versions of this story (interestingly, where the person telling it lived was where the levies would be blown in an emergency) while living down there. Apparently the real plan was to blow ALL of them if all of these people were right.
