This is such a great idea that there is no way on earth it will happen.

I agree 100%! There need to be strict controls in place. If N.O. and LA do not want to follow the controls then they don't get the money....that simple. I don't want my tax dollars going to Vegas trips and a new SUV for the fine Mayor.

New Jersey looks like a model of honesty and integrity in comparison.

I'm in MA, and that was almost my first thought about here. Then I wondered if the difference is that at least they get tried and convicted in LA. :-(

I hope Bush has the guts to take this position.

I'm not holding my breath.

Didn't take long for the Bush hating tancredo base to spin this.

Once again my Congressman stands up first and says what is obvious to all, yet is a non-topic in the media and the halls of Congress. Go Tancredo GO!

He's right. If the people of Louisiana started seeing money going where it's supposed to go they might wise up for election day.

The charitable donations that go to the Bush-Clinton Katrina Fund are to be distributed to the governors of Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama.

I wouldn't give a nickel if I thought that Blanko would get a penny of it.

Nope.

Tancredo's analysis of the ssituation is correct, but it is not politically feasible.

The people of LA are stuck with the incompetent grafters they voted for and it can't be helped.

Congressman Tom Tancredo (R-CO) wrote a letter to Speaker Hastert, urging him to direct federal hurricane relief aid through channels other than Louisiana public officials. Citing incompetence and a history of corruption, Tancredo said a bipartisan select committee of the House should administer the aid and provide accountability for the $52 billion requested.

Now that's the kind of pre-emptive move I like. hehehehe

I do beleive Tancredo's analysis is correct, but the knne jerk of his base(california patriot) couldn't resist taking a jab at Bush(ala the MSM).

JMO, his analysis would get much farther without his knee jerk supporters screwing it up.
