#1 Actually it was the left (when the hurricane was heading towards the GOP convention) than was happy to see people drown.

Projection, hate, envy and narcissism. The core features of leftist disorder.

#2 "David Chalian's statement was inappropriate and does not represent the views of Yahoo!.

Classic liberal half-truth. "Inappropriate" yes. Not "representing the views of Yahoo"... WRONG!

#3 Lots of similarities with NBC's handling of the Trayvon Martin story. Mid-level employees caught and fired for their actions. Both of them were blatant enough to get themselves fired. And likely both of them are or will be quietly hired by another news organization.

One difference is that the Miami editor is unknown.

#4 When ugliness happens outside the Left, it's always a the institutional culture that's to blame. However, when it's exposed in the Left. it's always an individual failure, no matter how many times and how strong the pattern is.

#5 One mistake does not change this. @DavidChalian is God's gift to political journalism. #IStandwithDavid

#6 #4 When ugliness happens outside the Left...

Ordinarily, the ugliness is so commonplace in the left it doesn't get noticed. You have to really get bizarre to get noticed.

BTW, saw 2016 Obama the other day. The theater was filled. There was the bit in the movie where Nancy Pelosi said "You've got to pass the bill before you can read it." Some guy yelled from the audience "Moron." Spontaneous applause erupted.
