Oh, well that's different! Never mind.

Human Events jumped on a claim that Michael Chertoff is on the skids. But the same link says that "a senior administration official" [Say, that would be a good name for a blog!] refuted the claim.

The AP's big "smoking gun" story that turns out not to be what it claimed has resulted in a "Never mind," as well.

It's heartening to know that my memory wasn't as bad about Katrina as it usually is about everything else. Once again, the problem wasn't with FEMA or anybody else as much as it was built in to locating a major city in a sump, dependent on floodwalls that weren't designed for this disaster to keep its own effluent out of the city.
