>When I hear that the president is in big trouble because he wanted a little extra nookie. It kind of perks my ears. Doesn't seem to me that anyone, other then Hillary is being hurt in the process.
In this example you gave, Clinton wasn't impeached because of his relationship with M. L. It was because he lied to the grand jury under oath. You knew that... didn't you please tell me you did? That has to mean something doesn't it? Even if its for silly thing as having a little woopie session.
BTW for all the time he spent doing whatever he did with M. L. can I have my tax money back that paid his salary? I didn't pay my tax so he can have a fling in the Oval Office during work hours. :-)
If you and I did that at work (especially during working hours), we'd be fired immediately... I know I would be.
Back to the subject at hand. Did you know that they had a dry run of their emergency procedure not too long ago and they knew it had problems and they never worked to iron out the problems. Is that still the fed's fault.
It sounds to me like you're wanting the feds to act in a "perfect" way. But you know that when gov't is in charge of something, they more often then not, screw it up.
Bush already said that the reponse wasn't acceptable. At least he's man enough to admit it. Frankly, I haven't heard Nagin or Blanco admit they were part of the problem as well. And believe they're not innocent.
Again, lot blame to go around.
The American Republic will endure, until politicians realize they can bribe the people with their own money.
