Questions. Frank Rich has this to say in today's NYT:

Eventually we’re going to have to examine the administration’s behavior before, during and after this storm as closely as its history before, during and after 9/11. We’re going to have to ask if troops and matériel of all kinds could have arrived faster without the drain of national resources into a quagmire. We’re going to have to ask why it took almost two days of people being without food, shelter and water for Mr. Bush to get back to Washington.

On the contrary, and in spite of the fulminations of liberal elitists, I say we have to come together as a nation and support our President. Because if we start questioning the administration's behavior during the Katrina disaster, then the terrorists hurricanes will have already won.

Update: Great minds, and all. Looks like Tom Tomorrow was thinking along the same lines.

And Giblets is on board! Let the Global War on Weather commence!

Must read. Blah3 pulls together the various strands of Bush's Potemkin photo-op tour on Friday. It's worse than you imagine, and seems inescapable that the mechanics of getting Bush his compassion pics actually made things worse—to the point where people who were just hanging on (say in Charlie Melancon's district) must have died for it. I don't know how my disgust with this man and this government could get any higher, but I've been wrong about that before.
