Josh Marshall touches on something that I heard a Republican discussing this morning on NPR. Namely, that the Bush Administration is preparing to throw gigantic buckets of money at the Gulf Coast. This is fine in a sense, but all indications are that they're going to do so in pretty much the same way they did in Iraq. The money will go to enormous corporations with close ties to Republicans, there will be little to no transparency, and priorities will be driven by a combination of ideology and favors, not practical concerns.
Dubya may have shown that he can admit fault (sort of), but he hasn't shown that he can learn from his mistakes.
