I just fired off a LONG email to him; just got done this second.
The last line was, "If your staff can find out the facts, you should do one of two things: keep quiet or email me back and I'll send you the links."
I've about had enough.
Great line. Wish I used it when blasting Blitzer for accusing the President of ordering flags flown at half mast for Rehnquist but not for the hurricane victims. If he's take his nose out of the dem talking points and look out the window, he'd see that order was issued on Sunday.

Today, you were totally off base. Do you really think that FEMA should operate on the expectation that half the local police force will walk off the job in a disaster? And that others will exploit the disaster and join the looters?
What federal official do you think Bush should have fired if on 9/11 half of the NYPD walked off the job, and others were taped looting the scene?
I do not fault FEMA, or *any* federal agency, for the disgusting and disastrous performance of the New Orleans Police Department.
If the New Orleans Police Department was not such an abominable disgrace and had an effective police presence at the designated shelters (Superdome and later Convention Center), many of the problems would not have existed.
(By the way, you might be interested in knowing that many of the deaths were of sick people who were respirator dependent, and died when the electricity and generators failed. Which federal official should be fired for that??????)
Get your facts straight. You usually do, but you disappointed today!
