I'm right there with you.
So far the only person that appears competant and ready to govern in a crisis in LA is an 18 year old who made off with a bus, loaded people into it, and drove them to safety during Katrina. Wonder what happened to him.
Rep or Dem. If you are politician from LA, you apparently are incapable of doing anything but grabbing money for yourself, threatening violence, crying or cursing.
so am I. but I think the dye is cast politically on this. Bush should never have "taken the blame" - because now the level of compassion is measured by the size of the check. these two LA cretins request 250 billion, even though they have no idea what to spend it on - so anyone who proposes less is deemed "uncaring" and "miserly". we should have been fighting back against Blanco from the first day.
