Where is the evidence that Michael Brown is way over his head? Are you getting this idea from the media? Do you think they would EVER give ANY Bush nominee a break? FEMA did exactly what the agency is supposed to do. In fact, the agency had materials pre-positioned to bring into NO when the Governor gave the go-ahead. FEMA was waiting, as it is supposed to do. It is not Michael Brown's fault that Blanco had decided to starve people out of New Orleans. BY LAW he is not supposed to go in until asked by local authorities.

The MSM keeps throwing around this notion that FEMA didn't do anything for 5 days. That is a load of horse hockey! The winds from the hurricane didn't stop blowing until Tuesday morning. That's when the flooding began and the Coast Guard started rescuing people from rooftops and depositing them on the I-610 bridge. I saw helos dropping water onto that I-610 bridge late on Wednesday. By the way, did you know that the City of New Orleans supposedly had enough food in the Superdome for 15,000 people for three days? Unfortunately, 26,000 people showed up. The City also did not provide any port-o-potties, even though they knew that if there were flooding, the toilets would begin to back up.

FEMA can only deliver items to the places it is told to go. If local folks don't tell FEMA where they need something, the agency will not know where to deliver it. Apparently, NO ONE TOLD FEMA that there were evacuees at the Morial Convention Center. I never heard about them until Geraldo started his rant in front of the center, and I had been watching the coverage almost non-stop for days because I have family on the MS Coast and was waiting for news coverage of their area because I could not reach them.

So you can jump on the bash Michael Brown bandwagon all you want, but I ain't going there!

Nagin said that the FEMA guys were all crap except for this one John Wayne dude who really knew how to get things done. Then we got to see this dude...and he really was DA MAN!

So you gotta think maybe Nagin knew what he was talking about.
