Our fearless "leader" at "work" on the "ranch". What took the press so damn long to start exposing just how inept the GOP are?

This AP Exclusive is quite the scoop. Glad to see all the other media outlets are putting it out there.

It's kind of weird now, to imagine how these bureaucratic meetings went down at big conference tables, behind closed doors...

I think the lesson here is not just that the GOP is inept. The US government as a whole is a mess, because monies are going to the wrong things, and there are so many government offices, organizations, workers, nobody knows what they are doing, what they are responsible for. The Louisiana government is just as messed up as the feds. This isn't a partisan thing.

Government has gotten out of control. And we, the citizens, have allowed it to happen.

Another thing that this video shows is that Michael Brown was, like so many others before him, nothing more than a human shield for Bush. You see the guy citing detailed statistics about the Superdome and with a clear understanding of the scope of disaster. I'm sure he screwed up as well, but obviously Bush himself bears the vast majority of the blame--he had all the power and resources and didn't use them.

It's one of the problems with the fact that our main outlet for political critique right now is comedy like that of Jon Stewart and Bill Maher. Like so many of us, the comics jumped all over the first horse breeding administration official we could get our hands on, and let Bush have a free ride. I hope in the future we focus not on the people who look the silliest, who make the best jokes, but who are ultimately responsible for the problem.

I'm not yet prepared to let Brown off the hook, but he obviously shouldn't be the main focus anymore. I think these two Senate hearings when Republicans of all people piled up on him showed quite clearly that the Bushies consider him their fall guy. And he seems no more prepared to take it. Maybe the Bush critics should signal Brown that there's something to gain for him in terms of his reputation if he, say, would write a book about what really went on in that week. When everyone warned Bush personally and he said in video conferences: "where prepared" - and after the video stopped: "Oh, they're gonna get some wet feet down there, what the heck, I've got a birthday cake to eat..!"

I agree with Jamey that Louisiana's government should bear some of the burden of the Katrina fall-out. Still, this video shows once again that Bush lied lied lied. What's it gonna take, folks? How will the GOP justify this one? They always seem to have some excuse for the Bush administration's ineptitude and corruption.

Lied about 'thinking' or lied about the anticipation? ;)

I'm not sure if anyone else has noticed this connection, but the President on the show "24" and GW are almost identical in their stupidity. Which I think is interesting because FOX is a conservative corporation. I wouldn't think they would want people making any kind of connection between these two inept Presidents. To me, "24" basically portrays the Bush Administration.

I am wondering how many people are following Harper's Magazine - The Case for Impeachment, and who watched the C-SPAN presentation with panelists including Lewis Lapham, John Dean, congressman John Conyers..
