What's with the 24/7 fire FEMA stuff? Bashing the Feds with Blanko and Nogin still holding forth seems like putting a bandaid on the nose of a man with two broken legs to me.
Yeah it's like im over at DU or something.
I don't get it either. It's like Blanco and Nagin are getting a free pass in the media. The focus on FEMA, to me it seems, is a means to divert attention to the incompetency of Blanco and Nagin.
Their culpability is obvious and greater than the feds. New Orleans itself and the State government is the main cause of the failures.
They, though, are not appointed. They should be voted out or better, removed from office via whatever mechanism exists.
That the MSM only focuses on the feds, for all the obvious hate-Bush and slam him at any cost reasons, and not on Nagin and Blanco does not mean the feds deserve exoneration.
The worst thing that can happen is to begin equating analysis or criticism of the leadership at FEMA and Homeland Security with support for Hillary or dems. If so we cut off our own ability to use this to learn and strengthen response in the event of future attack. Making this partisan is the worst thing to do for our nation's security in terms of actually doing something tangible and productive for future responses. The dems of course don't care and make it partisan. We ought not and not be provoked to response by their unfair and dishonest tact.
