EVEN LOTT

Trent Lott blasts FEMA incompetence. This really isn’t or shouldn’t be a pro-Bush, anti-Bush, left or right issue. We had a catastrophe and the government was incompetent in response – at all levels. Given the threat still over us since 9/11, it’s simply responsible to ensure we get accountability and reform at the federal level especially before the next disaster. Would you want Michael Brown to be FEMA head if al Qaeda attacked a major city with chemical weapons? This isn’t about politics. It’s about a functional government in wartime. More blogosphere calls for firing Brown here, here, and here.
