Katrina Redux

One of the reasons I don't agree with Compassionate Conservatism is that it supports big government programs, which always waste money and don't work. I'm very disappointed by the appetite of Republicans in Congress for pork. Edwin Feulner contrasts the performance of government during hurricane Katrina with that of Walmart. Hint: Walmart wins.

This whole rehashing of Katrina is meeting with disgust from the clearer thinking people in the Blogosphere, but to people who get their news from talk-show comics it's just a reinforcement of the negativity toward Bush and the war. One of the big reasons for Reagan's success was his press operations. Bush doesn't seem to care what the press says or thinks. The Congressional Republicans don't seem to be aware that they're being watched.
