Not really. There are literally millions of people who are trying to deflect blame away from the guy they voted for and pin it on those that don't even represent them.

I'm all for a postmortem to figure out what went wrong on all levels of government, but what I'm seeing is political CYA.

I'm just pointing out that if the locals had done their job, there wouldn't have been the opportunity for the post disaster screw ups.

Classic. See above.

I do agree with you Sac, that Bush needs to answer why he hired someone as obviously incompetent as Brown.

I'm curious as to how you would define 'answering for what he did'. Should he lose his job? His freedom?


If, in the final analysis, it turns out that the mayor of Nola failed because he appointed unqualified cronies to important public safety positions, he should be tried for criminal negligence and manslaughter.

If, in the final analysis, it turns out that the governor of LA failed because she appointed unqualified cronies to important public safety positions, she should be tried for criminal negligence and manslaughter.

If, in the final analysis, it turns out that the president, uh wait, we already know why FEMA failed.



What does America, and Congress, do about it? That's what I'm waiting to see.
