On the Carpet

I saw a good one the other day. I was watching a senate hearing and Sen. Dianne Feinstein was grilling the governor from Louisiana. Gov. Blanco was complaining about how long it takes for the reconstruction grants to be processed and to straighten out any problems with the figures. Then they had the company president on. He said they had hired and trained more staff to finally handle the job.

But this is a problem that the Gov. made herself. She chose and hired the company herself. Then she went before the senate crying the blues.

They saved the best for last though. Mayor Nagin took the seat and said that he could do a better job by himself with a couple of local banks. I almost fell out of my chair. That was beautiful. He was jus about to be called before congress himself for, let's say "irregularities"(?), about what happened to all the Federal Dollars that were supposed to go for levee inspections and repairs. Then Katrina hit and she got them all off the hook. I can imagine what we'd be hearing and reading about if the mayor had his way.

I'll bet the good senator wanted to die though. Mostly softball question and every democrat there trying to blame everyone else. Not a repulican in the bunch.

That's our congress in-action. These MAROONS really think they know whats good for us.
