I agree 100% that the local authorities are not blameless in this, and are currently being given a pass by the MSM.
Doesn't change the fact that there are those in the federal positiions who have screwed the pooch, too. Part of the job means not making moronic statements about the situation, at the very least. Chertoff and Brown have both had feet firmly planted in mouth, lately.
baloney. you are just feeding into the childish behavior of many americans, that a disaster on Tuesday needed to be "wrapped up" by Thursday, else its proclaimed a quagmire - a term the left loves to use.
