So the Senate republicans want to do away with FEMA and wrap it up into that other non-functional bureacracy, the Departmant of Hopeless Security? Ooookay. Apparently there is a "bi-partisan" report/recommendation. Hmmm, says I, Bi-Partisan?
The Federal Emergency Management Agency was so fundamentally dysfunctional during Hurricane Katrina that Congress should abolish it and create a new disaster response agency from scratch, a draft bipartisan Senate report has concluded.
...
Senator Susan Collins, Republican of Maine, chairwoman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, said the new agency would be "better equipped with the tools to prepare for and respond to a disaster."
The committee's ranking Democrat, Senator Joseph Lieberman of Connecticut, also endorsed creation of what would be called the National Preparedness and Response Authority. The full committee has not yet debated or voted on the draft recommendations.
Oh wait, Susan Collins and Joementum? No, you silly reporters, that's two republicans. Geeesh, I thought they said "Bi-Partisan" not "Bi-polar".
If Joementum is for it, then hey I'm pretty much against it, because it's gotta be a vehicle for giving cover to Joe's Man-Love Himself, Preznit French Kiss.
And adding anything to the politcally-appointee ridden Dysfunctional Helpless Sycophants isn't going to help anyone. Shit, Chertoff can't even recall whether the biggest threats to Amerika were Hurricanes or Librarians named Katrina in 2005. But, I'm sure he's doing a heckuva job, nonetheless.
And of course in classic 1600 Crew fashion, the time to make any changes in FEMA would be when Hurricane season is upon us. That way it's all congress's fault for not being prepared.
