"or b) The President invoke the Insurrection Act (which doesn't
typically apply to looting situations), in which case he would be
forcing the Governor out of power against her will, and would be
committing a potentially impeachable offense."
As if Bush hasn't done THAT a few times...
Fact is, if blame HAS to be spread there's plenty of political targets
available. The Mayor who did what? The Governor who knows what? The
President who eventually did what? FEMA head Brown...and so on - all
are guilty of some gross inadequacy in their response to the crisis.
It's been well over a week. The shock has worn off. Who's in charge
NOW? What's the plan NOW? Fix the problems, dammit.
Besides that, any comment about Barbara Bush's little remark, or was
that another manifestation of the Liberal Press?
