Read here to see Domenici defend his committee's funding of flood control in New Orleans.
A good friend sent me this transcript link for the press briefing in the White House today. It is encouraging.
"I'm mad as hell, and I'm not going to take it anymore."
The City That the Clueless Forgot
Dr. John Simkovich, director of the Charleston, S.C.,-based Department of Health and Environmental Control, got word from FEMA to prepare for a planeload of Katrina victims from New Orleans. He was able to assemble a team of physicians to greet the plane, which, FEMA officials told him, was due to arrive in just half an hour. And then . . . .
"Unfortunately, the plane did not come in," Simkovich said. "There was a mistake in the system, coming out through FEMA, that we did not receive the aircraft this afternoon. It went to Charleston, West Virginia." A line of buses and ambulances idled behind him at Charleston International Airport as he described what happened.
To Google
I just googled the words Katrina and incompetence and got 107,000 hits in 0.35 seconds.

Wow, that press conference transcript is incredible. Is the DC media growing a collective backbone?
I have some great ideas :) Nevermind. Next time.
