From the very beginning, I have worried more about Cheney, because he IS the kind of person that would take this so very hard...
I don't care what Fred or anyone say...about how this was handled..after all, Fred is a journalist, and it is the "journalists" that feel slighted...like THEY should be the first to know...
BTW...the journalists are vying with the darn Congresscritters in wanting to be able to air their grievances OFTEN and LOUD, about this Administration..
MY gosh, on both C-span stations today...it is one after another Congresscritter, both DEM and GOP...who seem SO "holier-than-thou" over this Katrina thing...and I dare say any one of them...had they been in charge, would NOT have been able to keep those levees from breaking.
Brit's sense is that Cheney is shaken.
He said he was distrubed, troubled; worried about this man, worried about what he has done.
I'm thinking that Cheney might not have been able to do interviews before this.
Nobody will say what, imho, needs to be said, which is that there is no way that you can hope for a big, bloated government bureaucracy with it's Harvard MBA flow charts and inflated egos to work in a disaster. The only government "agency" that you can count on is the US military. They will tweak this, but that won't fix it. More money will pour in and that won't fix it either. I know this and they know it too, but no one will say it.
