Because they seem genetically incapable of accepting responsibility for their actions, they conveniently leave out the inaction and incompetence of their democrat governor and mayor. Landrieu, who should be arrested for shooting off her hair-trigger mouth, even went so far as to threaten to punch the President if he blamed these louts for their myriad mistakes.
There is no doubt that the federal response COULD have been better… Just like there is no doubt that the state’s response COULD have been better… and the mayor of New Orleans, whose first action concerning the hurricane was to buy property in Houston, DEFINITELY could have responded better. But, when has the CCD ever admited that?
To local democrats, there is only one person to blame. One person, according to many on the left, is responsible for the hurricane, the levies, the flood, the lack of effective evacuation, the damage the area suffered. And that person is President Bush.
Bush, perhaps wrongly, picked Brown for the FEMA job. Local democrats are too stupid to understand that Brown’s continued involvement in the post-disaster examination should result in a more improved ability to respond, as Brown relates his actions as part of the investigative process.
So, in their efforts to hypocritically engage in that which local democrats called “outrageous,” what do they do? Why, they take yet ANOTHER opportunity to condemn Bush and Brown… who they would be much happier had he been reduced to homelessness while living out of a shopping cart.
Mike Brown engages in blame game, still on FEMA payroll

"My biggest mistake was not recognizing by Saturday that Louisiana was dysfunctional," Brown told a special congressional panel set up by House Republican leaders to investigate the catastrophe....
"I've overseen over 150 presidentially declared disasters. I know what I'm doing, and I think I do a pretty darn good job of it," Brown said.
Is he enaging in the Blame Game?? I think so, and better yet, he's paid to do it:
CNN
A congressional panel on Tuesday is expected to scrutinize the decision to keep ousted Federal Emergency Management
Agency chief Michael Brown on the federal payroll.
Brown told congressional investigators Monday that he is being paid as a consultant to help FEMA assess what went wrong in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, according to a senior official familiar with the meeting.
Last time I checked, when you resigned your federal position in disgrace, that was it, no cozy contract to cushion the blow. But this administration is "different", choosing to protect political patronage above all.

Last time *I* checked, it was more important that the problems get fixed then it is to destroy someone financially.
And odd, isn't it, that democrat disgraces such as Durbin and Kennedy don't get this same scrutiny from the neo-comms.
