So, the Department of Homeland Security, sitting on loads of cash

[Burma Jones]

Cannot respond to a crisis that had been predicted for years and for which they had days of warning to prepare for its actual occurrence.

The Department of Homeland Security can indeed issue itself bonuses for coming up with that clever Color coded panic scale and schedule conferences at swank resorts.

I suppose Chertoff is trying to get HIS Presidential Medal Of Freedom....seeing that it takes monumental failure to "earn" one from the Chimp.

I am filled with disgust at the hypocrisy of our government and many of our citizens. I am glad that I am an experienced outdoorsman, and own two portable water filters, tents and have a supply of MREs. This disaster teaches us that you had better be self-reliant and that platitudes don't feed anyone. As far as the Chimp's performance, how could anyone expect any sort of action, any sort of real confidence and any real leadership from this guy, he just doesn't have it in him.....

3. clinton is full of shit here.

It was predicted in 2001 and again a study in 2004 after that Bush defunded the levee project some more. And, of course, the national weather service warned us about this a full week in advance. So don't drink the kool-aid.

4. Well, Clinton is a weasel, but we all knew that

I really don't know what the RW had against this guy......
