Now IS The Time to Ask Why Everything Got Screwed Up

I just watched Chertoff say he wasn't going to take a moment to explain himself while people still needed help. What a disingenuous lie from Chertoff. His boss cared more about VJ day than drowning Americans, so sorry Chertoff, your indignation about being asked if you know how to do your job falls on deaf ears.

It is entirely appropriate for the media to ask these kinds of questions. Why? Because it is the responsibility of the media and others to ask why they screwed up so desperately to make sure that our incompetent President isn't allowed to continue to let his cronies screw things up. We, as a nation, need to ask the tough questions or we're going to see a duplication of Iraq right here in our own nation.

Halliburton's KBR already has a contract to do work caused by the disaster. Time and again Bush has chosen to enrich his cronies over doing the job that the President is employed by the American people to do.

This Presidency is awash in corruption and cronyism. The media is not only right to ask questions and demand answers, it has a responsibility.

UPDATE: Jake in the comments raised a good point. If Chertoff won't spend one second answering what went wrong, why is he hitting Meet the Press and holding so many press conferences. Lying spin machines when we need leaders.
