Katrina Response Mismanagement

[Gn2Dlnd]

From Monday’s New York Times:
“Meanwhile, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld arrived in Louisiana today and toured a medical facility at the New Orleans international airport.
“Upon his arrival at the airport, Mr. Rumsfeld spoke to and shook hands with military and rescue officials, but he walked right by a dozen refugees lying on stretchers just feet away from him, most of them extremely sick or handicapped, Reuters reported.”

And, not to be outdone:

Barbara Bush on Monday night's Marketplace on NPR:
"And so many of the people in the arena here, you
know, were underprivileged anyway, so this--this (she
chuckles slightly) is working very well for them."
