The Bush administration failed to set up a clear chain of command to respond to Hurricane Katrina, slowing coordination and communication within the federal government, congressional investigators reported Wednesday.

I imagine these sorts of things are already set up, have been set up for years, and are in a play book somewhere.
All they had to do was follow it (starting in LA - not DC).

Wow, so Bush hates Black people? Again?

These guys really need some new talking points.

[Mr. Brightside]

Congressional investigators? Do you mean Democratic staffers?

[funkywbr]

And yet today in the paper it's reported that the LA. official TASKED with creating an evac plan totally ignored the request and never made one.

Must be Bush's fault, yeah that's the ticket...

Welp, least they can't blame him for not upholding the constitution since the constitution gave neither the executive or legislative branch any delegated powers over diaster relief or assistance within the states.

The DU crowd will believe this but most of the rest of us can recognize the incompetence of the State of Louisiana officials.

But if the dims want to propose changing the Constitution to clarify the procedures for the President to federalize command and control over state resources in a natural disaster, let's roll.

Ray Nagin, the mayor of New Orleans, was
asked his views on Roe vs. Wade.

He said he didn't care how people got
back to their houses.

Yes, yes, Bush to blame for Katrina. Karl Rove to be indicted. Abu Grhahib-a-dooo!! Bush authorized torture. Bush lied about Iraq/Iraq is a disaster. Bush is not doing enough for homeland security, i.e. not implementing the 9/11 commission's recommendations (uhhh, like acting quickly to, well, wiretap suspects by getting around FISA). Bush is authorizing "illegal" wiretaps.

Repeat same, over and over, regardless of how old and illogical the arguments are. Oh yes, also include a nice push poll oversampling dems to show just how much the public agrees with you. Hmmm, now why are those circulation numbers going down?

"BUSH FAULT"...What else is new under the sun?! If they spill boiling water on themselves it's bush's fault, if they slip on a banana peel, it's Bush's fault, ...this is getting REALLY tiresome and ridiculous! Frankly, it's so outrageous W being blamed for everything that the majority of folk, just shrug it off, of course with the exception of the lonney rats,!

What does the President have to do with the City of New Orleans and State of Louisiana being run by democrat nincompoops?

[GianniV]

No way! Bush is blamed? I would've never have thunk it.
