and you have a grasp of things -- but many here are missing the really big story. Rove is using and abusing the Red Cross to divert attention from his own nefarious work.

First, listen to Ed Schultz on Jones Network (Carried with AAR) and Ray Taliafero on San Francisco's KGO-810 (audio streaming on the web). There is another scandal, much bigger then this scandal, that is breaking with the politicization of FEMA --

These newly homeless people are being moved by FEMA to specific cities and Congressional Districts like chess pieces. This is to enhance Republican control of Congress to fix the 2008 electon and to re-elect GOP Governors in Battle Ground states. It is as blatant as DeLay's gerrymandering in Texas.

And the Rove controlled FEMA is going to try to blame everybody

-the Red Cross
-the cities that were supposed to receive them,
-the Orleans Parish and Louisiana State governments.

Everybody gets blames but Rove and the latest Rove plan - to cement political hegemony by moving people to Districts where they can't upset the GOP control in Congress or the GOP Electoral College Vote - or Gubernatorial vote.

Ed Schultz and Ray Taliafero and San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsome blew the whistle on this scam and have been on it for a week.

-- but it's still going on.

Blaming the Red Cross?

Read "What's the Matter with Kansas? How Conservatives Won the Heart of America" by Thomas Frank.

This is the Rove Big Lie - Red Cross, Max Cleland, Swift Boat Veterans, Paul O'Neill, Valerie Plame, .........

This political manipulation of relocation destinations has been going on since 9/7 --- and only Ed Schultz and Ray Taliafero and SF Mayor Gavin Newsome and the San Francisco Bay Area political junkies and policy wonks see it.

This whole thread shows Rove's success.
