Former 911 commission member Tim Roemer on FOX news this morning said that Jimmy Carter should head up all of the rebuilding of the cities destroyed by Katrina.
Huh?
Brian Kilmeade, when he heard that Roemer's comment said, "What?"
I say, Oh goody, Let's put Mr. Peanut in charge.
Isn't it bad enough that we have to suffer through Bill Clinton making the rounds with former Pres. Bush soliciting Katrina handouts.
The head of rebuilding or AQ?
Former Senator John Breaux(sp?) should be, if one is needed......
The democrats don't have anything else to do, and they want people to remember that they were once a political party in this country.
If I had a hammer I'd hammer in the......
oh, THAT will be a BIG help. This gets more ridiculous by the day.
Oh good grief- how absolutely typical of the knee-jerk idiots on the left.
Is he still living...?
Great...then they'll be susceptible to complete destruction by a mild Tropical Storm.
Wil he be lecturing the people of Louisiana about malaise?
I heard this man say that. Gee, do you think he's a Democrat?? Wouldn't it be great? If Jimmy Carter did the same quality job as a Rebuilding Czar as he did as POTUS for one term, the reconctruction of NO will be a near total failure.
Tom, You have Brian Kilmeade's response right. I was so flustered, I didn't recall Brian's exact words, just that he was incredulous, like I was.
I just Googled and found this about Roemer. So that explains where he is coming from:

Sources: Reid, Pelosi backing Roemer for DNC chair
From Steve Turnham
CNN Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Amid strong competition over who will lead the party as the next Democratic National Committee chairman, former Indiana congressman and 9/11 commission member Tim Roemer has emerged as a possible new candidate.
He has the strong backing of Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid and House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi, senior party sources told CNN Tuesday.
Roemer, in a written statement, confirmed that he had been approached about the post. While he was noncommittal, he indicated he is open to the idea.
"I have been approached very recently by several prominent Democrats inquiring about my interest in seeking the post of DNC chair," he said. "While I am flattered by their confidence in me, I have made no formal decision to seek the post. I am, however, consulting with my family, friends and Democrats around the country to assess this potential opportunity, and expect to make a decision very soon. The new DNC chair will have an important role to play in helping shape the future organization, message and direction of the party, and it's an exciting opportunity for whoever takes on the task."
With the support of Reid and Pelosi, Roemer immediately has an advantage over the declared candidates, former presidential candidate Howard Dean and former Clinton aide Harold Ickes.
Reid is strongly encouraging a Roemer bid, according to the sources.
Roemer's experience on the 9/11 commission, together with the fact that he comes from a "red state" -- one that voted for President Bush -- were decisive factors in Reid's decision to back him, the sources said.
"head" in a boat is a useful "room"
Jimmy Carter - Danger Able!
How about Nancy Pelosi...it might give her something constructive to do for a change.
I vote for Rudy Guiliani.
Well, she does have experience with hammers and cement, putting her make-up on in the morning..................assuming she takes it off at night.......
