Tony Perkins (R, Insane Fundie) compares FEMA to F-Troop

Playing the Blame Game?
Will Republicans now turn their ire on the Family Research Council's Tony Perkins for playing what has simulaneously become Scott McClellan and Wolf Blitzer's favorite phrase, "The Blame Game?" Or will they concede that there's something more to criticism of the Bush administration's response than mere partisan posturing? Somehow, I think they'll have to just ignore him and focus on similar remarks by Nancy Pelosi instead.

Here's what Perkins had to say about FEMA in his daily newsletter, Washington Update:

There was a television show in the 1960's called F-Troop about an incompetent band of post-Civil War troops stationed at Fort Courage, somewhere west of the Missouri. Having been forced to deal with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and other government bureaus these last few days, I am reminded of this sitcom, except this is no comedy. While the hurricane was an "act of God" the government response and relief effort on the local, state and national levels were failures of man.

We were supposed to blame governance and then be happy when corporates & charities saved the day. But they were too scared. Because there WAS NO GOVERNMENT!
