After reading this, even I am ready to join those calling for the head of FEMA.

You have got to be kidding me


Michelle Malkin finds another quote where Brown said that "as late as last Sunday he expected Katrina to be a 'standard hurricane' even though the National Weather Service in New Orleans was already predicting 'human suffering incredible by modern standards.'"

Brown's incompetence is incredible by modern standards. And yet Bush thinks he's doing "a heck of job." Jesus Christ.


I am still not convinced that a heck of a lot more could have been done on such short notice, expecially when local authorities (i.e., the mayor) didn't seem to take the hurricane seriously enough until the day before it hit. You can't just move rescue equipment into the path of a potential Category 5 hurricane, especially when the contraflow program was put into effect so that people could leave the city.
