Well lets start investigating Nagin and Blanco's resume
So THAT'S why all those hundreds of buses when unused in new orleans!
Oh, so he once was "assistant city manager" but he was really assistant to the city manager. Stop the presses!
The fact remains that Brown and FEMA had their people and equipment pre-positioned ready to go before the hurricane hit. The Coast Guard was ready. The Navy was ready. The Red Cross was ready. Even the National Guard was ready.
Of the three cities in three states destroyed by the storm, only in one of the three do we hear of the kind of criminal incompetence that we have seen. Everywhere else people have simply set to work, the rescuers have fought their way in, the governors and mayors and local police and local citizens all doing what they can and more to bring order out of chaos.
The geniuses in New Orleans and Baton Rouge have failed, and there is no sugar-coating it. Brown and the normal people in Alabama and Mississippi have done what had to be done beautifully, and it will take the combined might of our news industry and the Democratic Party to hide that fact. But you can't hide it from the people who were there.
I have heard a report that 5 of the top 8 officials in FEMA were from the President's 2000 campaign or his White House advance team of that time and had no experience in disaster recovery. If this is true, that's an indictment of Pres. Bush's personnel policies. Of course, this doesn't excuse the poor performance of the local and state authorities. But, if it turns out that FEMA did not perform up to the standard of previous administrations and disasters, they should be held accountable.
I'm no fan of the guy, but this particular criticism of Brown is patently ridiculous.
His resume omits the preposition "to" on a job title that he had 30 years ago; he wasn't "assistant manager", he was "assistant to the manager". Whoop-te-doo.
Gives one a good idea of how the looney left non-thinks!
I have yet to hear what is significantly wrong on his resume.
Gee...if he had updated his resume he could have included all those hurricanes he handled last year.
