Senate turns down an independent Katrina investigation

[PornoDoggy]

Now, XxXotic ... it ain't that simple. Knowing that something went wrong doesn't address what went wrong. Where were the fuckups in the system that kept things from functioning?

How is it that, 4 years into spending billions of dollars at ALL levels of government to improve our disaster response, FEMA can dirvert truckloads of water from a local community as unneeded - when it was badly needed?

Congress is a political animal. It has always been a political animal. I hope to gawdamitey it STAYS a political animal. That's how we govern ourselves. Saddam Hussein never had to put up with that shit. North Koreans don't have to put up with that shit. I hope to hell we continue to have to put up with that shit.

I think the best thing that could happen is a 9/11 style independent commission with members of that same quailty. I don't dispute that most Congressional investigations turn into politics as usual, so making it independent would reflect the fact that this is more important than whether an overpaid athlete doping himself.
