Slidell and Bush

It's 5 days after the departure of Hurricane Katrina. And FEMA and other rescue organizations are just now arriving in Slidell. Slidell is not some remote town in the middle of the bayou... it is at the intersection of two major interstates (I10 and I12), for goodness' sake!

There will be heck to pay once things get under control in the Gulf region. Bush can't blame this on the "evil-doers." It was a hurricane, and his government was less capable of dealing with it than they were the aftermath of 9-11. Might this have something to do with the fact that we are now 5 or six years into his adminsitration and he has ripped the guts out of our ability to respond to anything but military events?
