Millions Of Floridians Without Power And Basics...And Jeb Bush Says They're Dumb

Why isn't the incompetence in dealing with Hurricane Wilma a bigger story? Check out this hurricane story from the NYT on Wednesday. You'll see a photo of a seething mass of people trying desperately to get water and ice -- and being held back by overwhelmed police. It looks like a riot scene. Where did the story run? On A-25.

In today's NYT, it's clear that MILLIONS will be out of power for weeks, if not a month or more. And in today's USA Today, they highlight Gov. Jeb Bush's insensitivity -- basically, Jeb said Floridians were stupid for not stocking up on supplies themselves. He also contradicted the mayor of Miami (and common sense) by insisting FEMA had NO role to play in disaster relief and it was all his responsibility. What the hell does he think FEMA is for if not to assist in cases of national emergency?

But why isn't the latest screwup during a natural disaster on the front page of every newspaper in the country?
