NAACP is not the press
Press has been off the job for 5 years. I'm pleased to see them waking up and asking the hard questions. Why is Brown heading FEMA? What about fixing coordination of services to disaster/attacks that was promised post 9/11? Not only did bubble boy give away the top jobs like party favors to his friends, but he dismantled the previously effective FEMA while blowing our rainy day fund on a stupid war that didn't need fighting.
This entire administration is all about politics and not at all about planning and execution and now its becoming really obvious.
These people belong in jail for derelection of duty and fraud.

why was hurricane relief by fema in florida so good?
brown was running that effort as well wasnt he? So they can be efficient when needed. What was the actual disconnect this time? I expect because he didnt have Jeb and George sending rockets up his ass.
thanx, bill

Who says that has to be an exclusive OR?
He can be both. In fact, he ca be stupid, venal, and under order from "above" to go slow. That would make him stupid venal, unethical, and a puppet.
Hmmmm. Sound like anybody else we know?

Just poor humor. I should have used the sign.
I flatly refuse to believe anybody would desert an important city 'cause they were miffed over voting records. I believe in incompetence though. It comes in a lot of forms and inhabits all levels of bureaucracy. Plenty to go around for all to share.

Why not try
there's no black or poor people in Florida?

You mean last year or eight years ago?
Eight years ago it was because FEMA was run by a competent manager James Lee Witt. Even Bush praised Witt in the 2000 presidential debates.

As for last year, somehow I suspect the president's brother knows how to hold his attention.
