there would be calls for impeachment right now if this were done.

where the administration made their mistake, was not going political right away - had they started questioning the governor and mayor right at the first sign of this, they would have set the early tone for the explanation of why the federal response was 24 hours late. But our guys don't know how to play gutter politics, and its costing us (to some degree) on the backside, and once again we have to battle from the defensive position.

The sun is up, there are calls for impeachment of Bush. (there's always calls to impeach him.. God help the next president that has liberals in charge of congress... Correction. God help us!)

"where the administration made their mistake, was not going political "

I agree. Bush should have had his best people working on his speech by Friday, practicing it as the hurricane hit. He should have toured relief agencies and FEMA the next day.

His appearance two days late reading something that I could have written was pathetic. Other than that, I think that the administration has handled this well, and has a good change of coming out way on top.

Tin foil hat alert, however here it is anyway:

I have been puzzled why they did not evacuate the people in the Super Dome and City Hall when they had the chance, after the hurricane had passed and before the buses were flooded and useless. Could it be that Governor Blanco and the Mayor knew they had FUBARed it so bad that they wanted a federal takeover and were hoping the plight of the people in the Dome would be what pushed Bush to Federalize it without the consent of the State of Louisiana. They could have then blamed every thing on Bush, as they are trying to do now but it is not sticking.

What has really surprised me is the seamless operation between the Left of the Democrat aka Demonic-rat in getting out the talking points to the media and now the whole demon-rat party with rare exceptions is singing the same tune. "It is Bush's Fault." This whole operation stinks to high heaven and reminds me of a political War Room operation where faxes, calls and talking points are sent out. This whole thing smells to me. Where is James Carville?
