And Bush wants even more power II (Electric Fuck-a-you!)

Nice job Skeletor:

Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff, the U.S. official with the power to order a massive federal response to Hurricane Katrina, flew to Atlanta for a previously scheduled briefing on avian flu on the morning after the storm swept ashore.

Chertoff's decision to fly to Georgia for a business-as-usual briefing even as residents in New Orleans fought for their lives in rising floodwaters raises new questions about how much top officials knew about what was happening on the Gulf Coast and how focused they were on the unfolding tragedy.

In fact, Chertoff didn't know for sure that New Orleans' life-preserving levees had failed until a full day had passed.

I'm betting when the Bird Flu hits, Chertoff will be attending a seminar on prickly heat.

Can we have one competent, non-evil, person in the White House?

They are either grossly stupid; grossly incompetent; or grossly malevolent.

What a combination of fools for all of us to suffer through.
