Trying to Learn a Lesson
Very popular this week has been remarking on the parallels between preparedness for large-scale natural disasters and preparedness for large-scale terrorists attacks, which finds people saying "if Katrina had been an actual terrorist attack" and this had been the response of the "we can keep you safer" Bush League, we'd be in deep water, just like New Orleans is now.
I have another parallel I wish to mention. We know now how carefully the Bush League vets its important nominees to head major federal agencies, and we can still remember the breath-taking haste with which they dug up Roberts to be a Supreme-Court nominee, now nominee to be Chief Justice. Well, if Michael Brown had been a Supreme Court nominee….
I'm just sayin'.
