Ummm...no. I wish I could blame the radio, but I haven't heard anything about FEMA under Clinton discussed. When ISM mentioned FEMA being "fantastic" under Clinton, I recalled hearing of mismanagement during Hugo and Andrew, so I did a google search on "hugo hurricane fema south carolina", and a similar one for Andrew. Just a bit off on the time line. Just a bit. A wee bit. OK, it was cranial rectumitis.

That doesn't stop Bush.

Be on the look out for suspicious horsemen. Bush has taken responsibility!

While I don't mean to diss him on this, it was the only avenue left open to him. His poll numbers crumbled and his wise advisers have told him to verbally mia culpa and throw (borrowed, national-debt-increasing) money at the recovery effort; to stage big hoopla recovery benefit agenda items that he can tout (while burying stingy recovery agenda detriment items like suspending minimum wage requirements).

The cost is now looking like $200 billion. That's twice as much as last week's estimate, so look for that to go up again. Protection from the hurricane would have cost a tenth of that. But what the hell, just add it to the national credit card that will never be paid off in our Empire's lifetime.

I'm trying hard not to nit-pick here, but his shouldering of the burden of responsibility is not exactly unqualified:""To the extent the federal government didn't fully do its job right, I take responsibility," Bush said."

I own a business. Someone walks through the door and gets knocked out by the chandelier that has been hanging precariously for the past decade by mere wires. I know that the chandelier is gonna fall eventually, but it just costs so darn much to fix! Now, I can either go up to that person and say "I am soooo sorry- let's get you checked out right away and I'll notify my insurance agent!" Or, I can say "Hey, that was like that when I moved in! It's not my fault! Sue me!" until finally my intrepid attorney advises me to apologise, even though I am sure it wasn't my fault. So I say "I take responsibilty for what happened to the extent that I just happen to own this shop, and I am going to get nailed anyway. So, like, sorry and stuff".

And I wait at least ten days to do so.

Oh believe me, I hardly consider this as absolving Bush. I'm more looking at it as a sign of just how bad things went. Bush freaking apologized. A severely late, and stupidly qualified apology, but an apology none the less. He never does that. Ever. I mean, normally he'd say, "Here's some money for your injuries, and isn't it great that we're moving forward and building a better chandelier."

Lol, GD!

I didn't interpret your first post as anything other than what you wrote above- I was just adding my take on his apology. I agree- look out for the Horsemen.

What should he apologize for? He apologized for the failures of the federal government - "to the extent that the federal government didn't fully do its job right, I take responsibility." What else should he take responsibility for? The poor job of the state and local officials? The governor and mayor turning away supplies from the Red Cross so that the residents would not want to stay? Not using the busses to evacuate? Putting out an emergency plan months before that said in case of emergency you are on your own? Taking the money given to the state earmarked for strengthening the levee and using for other things?

I'm in the "too late for an apology" camp, (big surprise). The guy put a bunch of incompetent cronies in charge of our emergency response system then had the audacity to tell us that we are safer because of him.

Couple that with our porous borders and you literally have a disaster waiting to happen. Terrorists must be drooling after seeing how hard this hurricane has hit us economically and how ill-prepared we were. And thanks to Bush, they can pretty much walk right on in through Mexico if they so choose.

So no, I don't want an apology. I just want him gone. Sadly, I won't get my wish for three years though because somehow a blow job is an impeachable offense but this crap is just fine. (and yes, scaeagles, I know the charge was perjury, not oral sex. I just feel like venting)

How about not ensuring that his executive order for FEMA to take control got carried out for starters.
