I wouldn't trust *any* politician; that includes Nagin, Blanco, Brown and/or Chertoff. This exercise in big government response, from the local to the federal level, shows that we can only rely on ourselves and, hopefully, each other in a time of crisis.

Nagin and Blanco are politicians---Brown and Chertoff are bureaucrats. Different species--same jungle
