Amen. Right on. Ebbert and Mayeaux are even more responsible for the problems the week of Katrina than Brown is, because local relief efforts start immediately when the store hits, and the couple days before, and they totally failed in the six days before the Federal Relief effort moved into place. I noticed that Larry didn't have a response to the fact that a MONTH went by after hurricane Hugo, before federal relief got to parts of the Carolinas, whild clinton was President. Yes, he sure had FEMA running as a finely oiled machine didn't he?
For a guy who claims he's not particularly partisan you sure are partisan. :)
I haven't said anything about FEMA on this thread. I spoke about Brown because his own words convicted him of incompetence. I haven't taken a position on FEMA on other threads either - except to notice that Nagin, who was highly critical of FEMA, made it a point to compliment General Honore. There must have been a noticeable difference.
I don't live in hurricane country. All I know is that responses to previous natural disasters have not generated this firestorm of criticism.
