A rather not-so-bright reader to TownHall left this message on my post regarding - of all things a call to prayer for the victims of the California fires:

Let's see if FEMA can get this one right.

Oh, wait -- I forgot: popular Republican governor and the fires include Orange County. Not a problem!

But hold on a sec... Of course Republicans will get it right in California but not for the reasons the dim bulb above claimed.

Allow me to demonstrate:

It was the DEMOCRAT Mayor of New Orleans who left the 2000 school buses locked up - when the Louisiana Law REQUIRES him to utilize ALL public vehicles for evacuation - up to 48 hours in advance of the Hurricane hitting land. (If memory serves me correctly there were roughly 1500 deaths... Hmmm - 2000 school buses - 1500 deaths...)

AND

It was the DEMOCRAT Governor of Louisiana - that repeatedly told Washington DC (according to her OWN e-mails) to "back off" that they "had it under control" and that they "needed no help."

Of course eventually the feds HAD to override her authority because she was a dufus compared to the criminally corrupt moron that was the mayor...

OH and by the way... the video tape feed of Bush meeting with the Governor and the Mayor repeatedly - starting more than three days out from the hit will also document their incompetence. And the aftermath scandals of Mayor Nagin's goons selling the relief supplies with jacked-up black market style tactics out of their personal garages demonstrate their morally vapid souls.

It also demonstrated that the only failure the federal government really had in the matter was not kicking out the teeth of Mayor Nagin and Governor Bimbo and taking over the job from day 1.
