"It's almost as if some consevatives have to 'prove' their fairness and good sportmanship by eating their own."
"LOL! The thought of simply holding public officials accountable for their actions is too advanced for you, apparently."
No, some of us simply dont want us signing up for the political lynch mob that is attacking the Federal response. I dont care who it is, now's not the time nor place, when we have a disaster to confront, to go about canning people. Let's deal with the situation and fix it.
One reason why I think Bush is a great President btw. He didnt do what arm-chair generals are doing. He didnt panic; he consoled others. He didnt point fingers; he simply said that what's broken will be fixed, what's working will be replicated. HE FOCUSSED ON HELPING ADDRESS THE PROBLEM AND NOT WORRY ABOUT HOW IT LOOKS. The change in the situation since Friday is palpable. The worse is over and now we are in recovery mode.
See post #67 for the REAL STORY. FEMA has done about as well as they do in other occassions. You cannot make the largest natural disaster in our history not look bad, yet hundreds of thousands have been evacuated, aided, given food and medical care, etc. Thousands have been saved from attics and rooftops. New Orleans got chaotic not because the Federal Govt was slow, but because state and local govt was lax about security and law and order.
Texas alone has absorbed 220,000 people.
I'm curious if this is also your response to the many fingers here on FR that are being pointed at the state and city governments.

#67 doesn't address the points that Malkin raised. It's interesting how everyone likes to talk around that for some reason.

I guess that answers the question I asked at the top of the post.
