FEMA needs to watch more cable news.

I don't think FEMA was aware that the Superdome was a complete disaster because no one locally had bothered to tell them.

During the presser this afternoon it's pretty clear that FEMA views itself as a catering service for state and local governments, and not "in charge" in any conceivable way.

I am getting a feelin there is some massive CYA going on locally down there.

When I seen the Cop that Shep tried to interview just get in his car and drive away I get the idea that things are not rosey and alot of folks feel the finger of blame will get pointed their direction so they are trying to cover up this mess like a kitty in a litter box!

Who was the Genius that told everyone to go to the Super Dome when they had no logisitics to deal with 20,000 people that showed up there?

No one bothered to tell them, because all the locals were in CYA mode, just waiting to hand off responsibility to FEMA . . .
