"Everything from Iraq to Wall Street to urban policy to the drug war. I look at it all and I say, “You know, these guys really couldn’t do much worse.” You know? I mean, Katrina was such a beautiful metaphor for the hollowness at the core of American will, you know? To have seen the President of the United States take the planes down and look out his window and say, “Oh my God, it must be twice as bad on the ground.” Twice as bad? Really? You know, it’s not— it’s failure of will and imagination and I see it across the board and I just think— in a way, THE WIRE is an editorial. It’s an angry op-ed."
