TROPICAL STORM IN A TEACUP MAUREEN

Maureen Dowd gets stuck into Bush and FEMA:

FEMA was a disaster waiting to happen, the minute a disaster struck.

Not counting Katrina, six of the 10 costliest hurricanes – in dollar terms – to strike the US have struck on Bush's watch. Maybe it's that my memory is failing as I get older but I can't remember any notable complaints about FEMA's performance, even as a large chunk of Florida was pretty much wiped slick in 2004. Maybe it's that Dowd's a whining, blame allocating, lefty moron.
