Report: Doctors killed patients in New Orleans

Doctors working in hurricane-ravaged New Orleans killed critically ill patients rather than leaving them to die in agony as they evacuated hospitals.

Is this a reputable news source? Has anyone read anything about this in U.S./other authoritative coverage?

Because I gotta believe, if this is true, that this is going to be a big deal for the "compassionate conservative" pro-life right wing, the ones who rode into town to make Terri Schiavo's last days such a circus.

This is huge. This has got to shock even Bush supporters. Unless the Bushwackers find some way to pin this on the liberals (perhaps they'll try to spin it that the doctor was one of those cowardly left wing "culture-of-death" types? Or spin it that if the doctor had believed in the right to bear arms like a true red-blooded American should, she would have stayed at the hospital to defend her patients at gunpoint, instead of fleeing to save her own "cowardly" neck?)

March of the Penguins

Gacked from Wonkette:

Today, the New York Times investigates the Christian conservatives' fifth column: Penguins. Turns out conservatives have become unlikely champions of the documentary "March of the Penguins," saying, among other things, that the film promotes monogamy and family values. Clearly, no one has told them about the gay penguins (of course, they choose to be gay).

Disapproval

I didn't like this metaquotes entry and I said so.

Comments? I'm obviously in the minority here.

Political joke of the day

From one of my e-mail correspondents:

The White House press secretary is asked:
What's George W. Bush's position on Roe vs. Wade?

He replies:
The President really doesn't care how people get themselves out of New Orleans.
