| A little anthrax-based class warfare... |
| 2001-10-26 |
Jill Nelson, who is something of a left-wing Ann Coulter, pens a whole column arguing that America's government, not Osama bin Laden (a mere "poster boy," in her view) is the enemy. She too suggests that the dead mailmen were victims of malevolent upper-class elites: Joseph P. Curseen and Thomas L. Morris, workers at the Brentwood postal facility in Washington, D.C., died of anthrax infection; a number of their colleagues are sick and hospitalized. It's too late to ask either one of these men what they thought of the US government, or the Centers for Disease Control, or the Postmaster General's assurances that they were not in harm's way--even while the rich, the famous, even the Capitol police dogs--were tested for anthrax and dosed with Cipro. |
