I just wanted to record some quotes for all of you to think about in the days and weeks ahead of us.

First, Patrick Rhode, FEMA's deputy director, insisted that

"this has been probably one of the most efficient and effective responses in the country's history."

You are DONE!!! Fired, complete incompetence, I don't care what any of you damn wingnuts say to try to spin it, complete incompetence!

"I don't think anybody anticipated the breach of the levees."

- shrub BULLSH*T!!! What planet are you from?! This story was everywhere before this tragedy. We KNEW the levees would break with a category 4 or 5 hurricane hitting New Orleans. How the hell can you get away with saying something like this?

"Brownie, you're doing a heck of a job."

- shrub speaking to FEMA head Michael Brown, who has done ANYTHING but a "heck of a job".

"What I'm hearing which is sort of scary is that they all want to stay in Texas. Everybody is so overwhelmed by the hospitality. And so many of the people in the arena here, you know, were underprivileged anyway so this...this is working very well for them."

- Barbara Bush What to say? It shows me that these people really have no idea how much of this country lives.

And lastly, Jefferson Parish, La., President Aaron Broussard:

"It's not just Katrina that caused all these deaths in New Orleans here. Bureaucracy has committed murder here in the greater New Orleans area, and bureaucracy has to stand trial before Congress now."

This is what is so devastating, Bureaucracy and inaction have KILLED what will probably be thousands of our brothers and sisters. They are gone, forever, this will not be forgotten.
