These people saw an opportunity to steal and scam as soon as Bush allowed himself to be politically outmanuevered by the left and announced 200 billion to rebuild Nawlins. The chickens have come home to roost. What makes this newsworthy?

Some in MSM will have any 9/11 conspiracy kook on, but how much time will they "waste" on something like this?

It seems there's a choice:
  1. You can have emergency aid doled out quickly; OR
  2. You can have emergency aid doled out well.
Maybe it's human nature generally, as indicated by a historical tendency to think that the ruler has divine powers. Maybe it's the way everything on TV takes less than an hour to come out all right. But whatever it is, people think that "the government" (as though, in this federation, there were only one government) ought to be able to fix anything even before it goes wrong, and to do so without error.

Aside to conspiracy theorists: How about this? The majority of government workers at all but the most stratospheric levels are Democrats (this truth is supported only by my willing to bet serious money on it) whose natural bureaucratic sloth is aggravated by the hope that if they do their job poorly a Republican administration and Congress will look bad and be voted out.
