Me too!!
What? The ONLY reason that there was an evacuation order was because Bush TOLD her to order one!
THAT will be the soundbite on tonight's MSM news...
"There are lots of things I would have done differently"....(Mike Brown)....Taken out of context of course.
Brown says he did not expect to be insulted because he wasn't Rudy Guilani.
Shays is complaining that Brown didn't violate federal law and take matters into his own hands and violate federal/state boundaries, because the "end" justifies the "means".
Brown: I don't think I need to sit here and be berated because I'm not Rudy Guiliani.
We did catostrphic planning a year ago and use the resources I have and move all of them in there because I know this is going to be a catastrophic event.
You can listen to the FEMA videoconferences where I pre positioned assets.
We learned that communications are going to break down. Am I supposed to magically pull out of the air communication systems?
Shays: After Hurricane Pam, did you ask for the equipment you needed? What documentation do you have.
Brown: We asked DHS for the equipment.
Shays: Who denied your request.
Brown: You'll have to ask DHS.
What an idiot. Guess he didn't hear Giuliani and Kerick's post-Katrina analysis where they faulted local and state officials.
Brown is standing up for himself. Talking over him. Shay's ignorance and behavior today nailed his coffin for me.
Based on the billions that Blanco has requested we're getting another opportunity to repurchase LA.

Shays: DeLay Should Quit As House Leader

Shays doesn't even know what's going on in his own committee!
No-one will see it :)
Boy, oh boy, Me too.
EGAD--Dims are not only advancing a nanny state--they want a MOMMY state!
And FOX cut away as soon as the truth started to come out.
Is it just me .. or is FOX leaning much more to the left ..?? I sure hope not. Of course, in another week it won't matter .. I have cancelled my extended cable service. I have to cut expenses somewhere - and $36 is a lot of money to pay for 4-5 cable channels that I watch.
Hey Shays ... The President and FEMA can't take control of a state
What part of that do you not understand
I don't understand just how FEMA was to get these gas cans to these people by air drop?? Damn these CongressCritters are really stupid??
Shays just called Blanco and Nagin incompentent.
Shays was way out of line with those personal attacks. He should apologize for that.
