Did the head of FEMA say

"several loads of food and water, 36 pallets have been delivered? This is an inhumane joke, the bush government should be driven out of office. I understand the head of FEMA is a bush cronie with no experience. Is that true? If the media can get to NO and other areas, why can't help be there. NO EXCUSE...and yes, i'm yelling!

1. I'm yelling too!

The buzz word is "let's step back and take a deep breath."

Let's put their mama in the Super Dome and see if they take a breath and not loot.

5. He was a fatcat estate planning lawyer, and a big contributor/fundraiser

He is a patronage clown. I hope his number two has some experience, because that guy is just an empty golf shirt...

7. 36 pallets. Yee haw!

I used to unload that with a couple of other stockboys in a single morning. We got three trucks a week like that, and we had about 15% market share in an area of about 35000 people.

Thus the head of FEMA proves he's never actually unloaded anything.

8. Hell that is nothing

He actually told Paula Zahn on CNN that the federal government didn't know anyone was at the NO convention center until today....What?
She was pissed obviously, asked him to repeat it.....but I am way beyond that. Our countries leadership is so damned incompetant they can't even get food and water to this area after 4 days.....They are "shipping it" didn't they ever hear of a C130? Probably not.
