Trent Lott Castigates FEMA and Mississippi Agency

Sen. Trent Lott is quoted as complaining angrily about FEMA and state red tape allegedly hampering hurricane relief efforts in Mississippi.

http://www.cnn.com/2005/US/09/05/kat...ott/index.html

While there might conceivably be some past political history tied in here (Lott probably hasn't forgotten his tribulations in the Senate not all that long ago), the "red tape" charge is, sadly, beginning to be all too familiar. And coming from a conservative like Lott who usually supports the Administration in public--- wow.

How long do you think the head of FEMA will survive?

In addition to being a little slow to act, he's said a lot of stupid stuff.

Unfortunately, so has the President. His quote about Lott rebuilding his home and President Bush wanting to spend time sitting on Lott's front porch indicate to me that he simply doesn't understand that the folks affected aren't US Senators, Representatives and well to do businessmen.

I'm sure he meant well, but I still don't think he gets it.

That, of course, is only my opinion.

They really did put out an outstanding performance, didn't they? Very impressive.

I wonder how many lives they saved...

Even with all the misspellings, I have to agree with you on that one Tom...

It's like the wolf guarding the chicken coup...

Why do we have the fumbling idiots as our leaders of the "free world"?

I sure didn't vote for them...
