I know what it is like to go ballistic over the idiocy. I called my sister and told her how incompetent the locals were in handling this and how they are blaming Bush. She yelled "ANYWHERE DEMOCRATS ARE IN CHARGE THERE IS CORRUPTION AND INCOMPETENCE!!!! THEN THE GROWNUPS HAVE TO COME IN AND CLEANUP THE MESS!"
I just screamed about the same thing to my husband just now...lol He wanted to know why can't helicopters drop buckets of water over the fires? I told him I DON'T KNOW--WHY DON'T YOU GO ASK YOUR MAMA WHO VOTED FOR BLANCO????? He went outside...can you believe that???? lol Oops here he comes again...this time I gave him the correct answer "it's Bush's fault"...and told him that's my answer from now on...lol hmmmm he was not amused...lol
And you can bet the farm that once the mess is cleaned up (i.e., the "heavy lifting') and the BILLIONS of dollars pour in to rebuild the city, Nagin, Blanco, et al will demand to be in charge again. They're salvating at the prospect of controlling all that money.
