FEMA: the F is for Feeble
Wonkette has posted a transcript of the mayor of New Orleans getting very feisty indeed on the subject of how totally fucking lame the government has been at taking care of things post-Katrina.
Of course, they did so well beforehand. I mean, why didn't someone tell Greyhound that it was irresponsible of them to shut down operations in New Orleans two days before the hurricane hit? There should have been fucking government-sponsored buses there to evacuate people who didn't have the resources to leave town themselves. And then there's the fuckwit in charge of FEMA.
I want to go on, but I'm really too angry to marshal my thoughts into any semblance of coherence.
Posted by Francis at 12:00 AMI'm anxious to hear Rose's thoughts on all this horribleness. As bad as I feel, I've never been to Louisiana and can't imagine what she must be going through.

I don't see how people without cars could have left the city and gotten to shelter before the hurricane hit. If they started out on foot, how could they have gotten to a motel that wasn't full? For a mandatory evacuation, they should have had buses.
