Partisan Rancor With Passage of Disaster Aid Bill
Democrats sharpen their criticism of the Bush administration's handling of Hurricane Katrina, refusing to participate in a Republican-controlled investigative panel and displaying a photo in the Senate of the president strumming a guitar the day New Orleans was inundated.

1. It was Sen. Lautenberg (D-N.J.) who put up the postor |
|
.At times, the debate was theatrical. Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-N.J.) displayed a poster-size photo of Bush playing a guitar handed to him during a tour of a San Diego military base Aug. 30, after broken levees had caused New Orleans to flood.
"The president was enjoying the day, he was strumming a guitar," Lautenberg said. "I don't deny him the pleasures of office, but people were drowning."
When aides to House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-Tex.) attacked Pelosi's response to the investigative commission, they illustrated it with an e-mailed photo of San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury intersection, associated with the hippies of the 1960s.
Groups and strategists on the left and right, meanwhile, debated the wisdom of the two parties' actions. Some liberals cheered Pelosi and Reid for refusing to join the investigative panel. Others warned Democrats to offer solid alternatives when they criticize.

Uh, Hello. I think we did.
We offered to have a bi-partisan, independent investigation. Something other than a Frist, DeLay, Rove, and Bush whitewash.
