Now that Brownie isn't around to be the whipping boy, how come Chertoff comes clean in this AP piece or isn't he in charge of anything that goes wrong? The new FEMA has excelled when it comes to setting new standards in incompetence time after time but Bush's friend is unscathed again. If Congress is going to start investigations, who exactly is it that is ruining a once great organization into the ground? This also shows how much the GOP can throw money at problems instead of solving anything.
The government doled out as much as $1.4 billion in bogus assistance to victims of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, getting hoodwinked to pay for season football tickets, a tropical vacation and even a divorce lawyer, congressional investigators have found.So why is Chertoff still around?
