You know it had to happen. They're blaming not George W. Bush, but Karl Rove (close enough) for opposing some spending sought by Wisconsin Democrat David Obey for 'pandemic preparation.' Obey had sought to put this in the so-called stimulus package, but apparently Karl Rove spoke against it and Obey's proposal failed.
Naturally enough, this has gone viral on the web. If you google 'Pandemic+Obey' or similar, you'll find tons of postings already on sites like 'Daily Kos.' Here's one example from the nation.
They've already blamed Bush for a hurricane. Now they're going to blame him for a plague. If there are swarms of locusts anywhere in the U.S. this summer, we already know whose fault that will be. All you can say is LOL!

Anyway, I do think this is an excellent example of the sort of magical thinking that has taken over the far-left. They have become much more akin to a religious cult than a political movement.
