Bush volunteers to lead investigation

"Someone should have thought about what to do with hundreds of thousands of evacuees, both in the days after a disaster and in the long term. As people flooded out of New Orleans, it was officials at the state and local level who rose to the challenge, making it up as they went along. Bring a bunch of people to the Astrodome. We have a vacant hotel that we can use. Send a hundred or so down to our church and we'll do the best we can.Tent cities aren't a happy option, but neither is haphazard improvisation. Is the problem the Bush administration's ideological fervor for small government? Does the White House really believe that primary responsibility should fall on volunteers, church groups and individuals? Or is it just stunning incompetence and lack of foresight?" Eugene Robinson, Washington Post, 9/6/05, article entitled "It's your failure, too, Mr. Bush".

Hmmm, I wonder why Bush wants to lead the investigation into the post-disaster events. Could it be to cover up his incompetence? That would certainly be the first time he has thought ahead of the game but hopefully the Congress will not fall for this transparent ruse.
