Mistakes were made all around--but the biggest, most glaring mistakes are on the level of the mayor and the governor of the state. The media (and apparently Malkin) want to cover up that FACT. Brown might or might not have been suited for the job. We don't really know yet--but we DO know from performance in this disaster that the mayor and the governor were NOT suited for the job.
Very true. This quote is from another thread....
"Chertoff was asked on Fox this morning if Blanco had screwed up..He declined to answer the question, saying that conversations had to be private.."
So it seems that Chertoff, at least, is learning from his mistakes in dealing with the media. My main beef is with the PR aspect of the job when it comes to Brown and Chertoff. Perhaps they will get better at it.
RIGHT! The boneheads who let 150 city busses and over 200 city school busses get waterlogged and *then* complained about "America abandoning us ... send us Greyhounds busses" etc. THAT IS THE GUY WHO NEEDS TO GET FIRED!
