Passing the Buck
And here comes the spin...
From the Washington Times: "State and local officials did not inform top federal officials early on of the deaths and lack of food among hurricane victims in the Superdome or convention center, Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said yesterday. Mr. Chertoff said neither he nor Federal Emergency Management Agency chief Michael Brown was told of the deteriorating situation in New Orleans until Thursday night."
"Mr. Chertoff also suggested the tens of thousands of evacuees also shared some responsibility and should have evacuated when asked Saturday, and ordered to do so on Sunday."
Wow. Unbelievable. Why can't they just own up? How are you going to blame dying people? And how are people going to start blaming the mayor, the one man who was in there with his sleeves rolled up since day one?
Jefferson Parish President Aaron Broussard breaks down in tears when Meet the Press has the gall to place blame on local officials.
