So, for example:
the Bush government has ample warnings that there's a major hurrican coming.
they have ample warnings that the levees need upgrading.
they have folded a well functioning agency (FEMA) into homeland security, for self-serving or wrongheaded reasons; and have installed an ill-prepared, utterly inexperienced (in emergency management - the agency's PURPOSE) head.
so, the disaster strikes and we all know what happens.
so would anyone REASONABLE call Bush "the hero of hurricane Katrina"???
ladies and gentlemen, I give you Rudolph Giuliani.
