Well, I’ve been called “a raving, depraved lunatic” before. I figure we’d make a cool pair.

> It’s not just about failure to react, it is also about actively preventing others from provided relief. The president of Jefferson parish reported that Walmart trucks loaded with water were prevented from delivering it, on the orders of FEMA.

And how exactly is that Bush’s personal fault? If these trucks were stopped by FEMA, then it’s FEMA’s responsibility.

And who appointed that mallethead as director? John Kerry?

And who was down in Baton Rouge patting the FEMA director on the back and saying, “Good Job, Brownie” ? Howard Dean?

And who waited 6 days while people died of thirst at the Superdome before intervening? Hillary Clinton?

I lay this directly at the George Bush’s feet of clay. The buck stops here.
