This is not MIHOP or LIHOP, it's Fuck-Up. I'm a pretty moderate Dem, and I have NEVER been so ANGRY with the Bush administration as I have over these past few days. Total incompetence might let New Orleans die. I'm happy to see our democratic system working though -- the media, from Anderson Cooper to Ted Koppel to JIM LEHRER of all people is starting to get angry. And the government is belatedly responding as a result.

My reaction has been this: affirmative action for the wealthy has really bit us in the ass this time. WE HAVE NO PRESIDENT. I never thought I'd say this, but WHERE IS AL HAIG WHEN YOU NEED HIM? ("As of now, I'm in control in the White House...") Where is Rumsfeld? I almost thought maybe he had it in him to play that kind of take-charge role. He certainly gave great press conference directly after 9/11. :grr:
