Shays spoke for the nation.

I hate it when somebody states they are speaking for me. What a pinnacle of arrogance. For all those that have come down on Brown, I have one one question. Name one specific thing that Brown did that was wrong (other than the fact that he didn't recognize how incompetent Blanco and Nagin were fast enough).

The worst part of it is because of the media/idiot blitz in NOLA, the people who lost everything in MS, AL didn't get all of the help they needed. And now, people think that the "gubmint" is supposed to have everything fixed in less than 24 hours! The local stations are crawling in to East Texas to look for sad stories to boost the ratings and hammer FEMA and George more.

Shays spoke for the nation.

He stole Hillary's tagline.

Does anyone know how a Congressman gets the authority to "speak for the Nation"?

I'd like to contact whatever elected official who grants this right to let them know "Shay Doesn't Speak For Me" and come 2006 they are going to know it loud and clear!
