The Blame Spinner Finally Lands on...............

Michael D Brown- FEMA Head

Thats right ladies and gentleman, the first head has rolled in the fiasco that is the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
The blame game is now in full force and Mike Brown has become the first casualty. The Democrats have been whining and caterwauling all week for blood and they have finally gotten their wish.
As far as I can tell from what I have read about the days leading up to Katrina making land fall, it seems that the unpreparedness of the New Orleans area can be directly placed at the feet of the Local and state government, Mayor Ray Nagin and Governor Kathleen Blanco. Take a look at this release from the city of New Orleans Website, the tone of this message does not impress upon me the seriousness of the situation that this city ended up facing.

Although I will submit to the fact that the initial federal response was a little slow and lethargic, as did the President. The initial response could have been so much better if Nagin and Blanco (Sounds like a bad music group) had assessed the threat a little more properly and asked for federal help ahead of time. I hear people saying that Washington did not do enough to prep before Katrina struck. In a regional emergency situation such as this it is the responsibilty of the local and state govenrment to request assistance in advance of its need. If President Bush had stepped in any earlier with FEMA and HLS he would have never heard the end of it from the Dems and Liberal Wieners. "STATES RIGHTS!!!!, BUSH PLAYS LITTLE HITLER!" they would be screaming at the top of their lungs, "BUSH OVERSTEPS AUTHORITY, MILITARIZES NEW ORLEANS!" I can hear the shrill screams of the Democratic Asses now. In the eyes of the Libs/Dems Bush can do no right. If Bush had donned a cape and flown into the eye of Hurricane Katrina and smote it the headlines would read like this
"BUSH PLAYS GOD, STOPS HURRICANE KATRINA, ETHICAL QUESTIONS RAISED!"
Im sure there will be more sacrifices to the liberal god as time goes bye.

Mr. Brown , Your service is appreciated. sorry you got scapegoated :(
