You'll get no argument from me on that. I would love to see the levee board under the bright lights of a televised trial.
However, when it's the LA-FREAKIN'-Times that reports this stuff it's noteworthy. It shows me that the finger pointing strategy has been a failure and that the press has begun to shift (inch by inch)from reflexive anti-Bushism over Katrina to (semi-)responsible reporting. Even if it's only a short spurt of sanity, it's important.
Anyone that doesn't believe this money was intended to be a payoff to locals in LA is smoking funny cigs.
Actually Brown should be given a medal for going after these crooks. WILL THE MSM APOLOGIZE TO BROWN FOR THEIR VICIOUS ATTACKS.
