Oh, this is rich. From the BBC I see the headline "Bush to lead inquiry into Katrina."
Isn't that akin to having Al Capone investigating the proliferation of speakeasies, or Jack the Ripper studying how to protect women? Jesus H. Christ, tell me that this isn't really the road we're going down. Even if you grant the administration some leeway to cover their ass (which I emphatically do not), do you really want President Whodathunkit pretending to lead an investigation?
I can see it now: hurricanes come every year? Whodathunkit? They should have been more prepared! Levees often fail under stress? Whodathunkit? They should have strengthened those! Poor people can't afford transportation? Whodathunkit? They should have started walking!
