Kerry's retort to Bush link
SENATOR KERRY (D-MA) ISSUED THIS REBUTTAL TO RAW STORY JUST AFTER BUSH'S SPEECH....
"Leadership isn't a speech or a toll-free number. Leadership is getting the job done. No American doubts that New Orleans will rise again, they doubt the competence and commitment of this Administration.
Weeks after Katrina, Americans want an end to politics-as-usual that leaves them dangerously and unforgivably unprepared.
Americans want to know that their government will be there when it counts with leadership that keeps them safe, not speeches in the aftermath to explain away the inexcusable."
"Leadership isn't a speech or a toll-free number."
Interesting that he appears to have called Raw Story himself to give them this blurb. And he's still talking in short sentences, so he must still be pissed off. But then, he did go down there earlier in the week, so he's seen the devastation himself.

And now for something completely different. I found it amusing that some Repubs are accusing the Dems of being at fault for not stopping the incompetent Brown from becoming FEMA director.
So which is it? Gee, I thought every nominee deserved an up or down vote, and that the president deserved to have the appointees he wanted. I thought the Dems were being partisan and obstructionist. So now people like Wolf Blitzer are trying to tell me that they wanted the Dems to stop Bush from appointing an incompetent? SINCE WHEN?!
Okay, I feel better now. Rant mode off.
