I agree: such a law would have prevented him from becoming a Senator or being Vice-President.

” Edwards wants law against “Brownies” “

Brownies???

What’s next?? Cupcakes?? Ho-Ho’s?? TWINKIES??????????

No - wait... I see now — he’s talking about Blanco and Nagin...

OOPS — my bad — it’s only Republican hacks and incompetents he doesn’t like...

Never mind........

Michael Brown’s departure was another Bush screw-up. Instead of handing his head to the Democrat party, Bush should have reminded everyone that Brown was able to manage FEMA effectively in other disasters, and that the Katrina aftermath was entirely the fault of the governor of Louisiana and the mayor of New Orleans.

[roses of sharon]

Wow, a law against Nagin?

[Maceman]

I remember when he proposed this as a bill during his Senate term. Oh wait. . . he didn’t.

[N. Theknow]

How do the two years' progress (or lack thereof) following Katrina compare to the two years following Hugo and Andrew?

Big difference in the mentality of sucking on the government "Gimme, Gimme teat" and "Well, that's over. Let's get busy and rebuild."

As Edwards said, as he looked at himself in the mirror. If there was ever a text-book example of a LIMOSINE LIBERAL, here it is. A total USELESS parasite on our country.

Strange how none of the dims visit the Mississippi Coast, where Katrina actually made landfall. Maybe it is because we have competent leadership and are making vastly more progress in our recovery efforts. You get what you vote for!

New Orleans is a case study in democrat policy failure.

Is America’s first black hurricane ever going to be finished? Will this storm system ever end?

I guess not.

Of course, the stupidity of this whole deal is that the response would have been just as slow(or fast) if a Democrat had been in The White House.

"What’s next?? Cupcakes?? Ho-Ho’s?? TWINKIES??????????"

If they outlawed Twinkies, half the Democrats in the U.S. would be behind bars.

And as much as I want to, I won't make a crack about Ho-Ho's...

[generally]

I am constantly astounded at how many people there are who cannot see their own reflection in a mirror.

[FlatLandBeer]

Since the main function of FEMA in an emergency is to get food, shelter, medical aid, and supplies to people, it would be best if the person in charge had a logistics back ground.
Who would have those qualifications?
A general/Admiral from the armed services comes to mind.
As does someone in charge of a company that specializes in logistics. A company like Halliburton maybe?

Imagine the hue and cry that would have gone up if Bush had appointed an ex Hallibruton exec to FEMA.

Just some thoughts

” If they outlawed Twinkies, half the Democrats in the U.S. would be behind bars “

Hey — not all dweebs grew up to be Democrats!!!

;~)

(And I, for one, appreciate your self-restraint... ;~))

[Jaded]

Isn’t the Breck girl a political hack?

[shove_it]

>>...Edwards, who is seeking the Democratic presidential nomination, drew laughter ...

That’s the prevalent reaction to his speeches.

[theDentist]

Sounds nice, but we all know that Politics is driven by favors, money, and delivering votes. And such appointments are often based upon returning favors. Both Parties operate this way.

Post of the year!

I thought it was against little Girl Scouts...

I am SO sick of Hurricane Katrina!
