A Heck Of A Mistake
Schieffer: Bush's Protection Of Power At Expense Of FEMA Leadership Is Wrong
If there is one thing you would think the White House would not want to call attention to especially in an election year, it would be the government's bumbling response to Hurricane Katrina and the man who led that effort — Old Brownie, as we have come to know him.
Which is why I had to read it twice before I really believed the story I found in yesterday's paper.
It said the White House served notice that the president would not abide by new Congressional rules which require the next head of FEMA — that's Brownie's old job — to have five years' experience in disaster management.
Why would the president have a problem with that? The White House says it would encroach on his constitutional power to appoint anyone he chooses for top government jobs.
They've already totally ****ed up FEMA by politcizing it, slashing its budget and folding it into Homeland Security.
Homeland Security!!! What a ****en joke.
