Still Asleep at the Wheel

This blog has discussed at length how disconnected the Dunce in Chief was during Katrina. So, with the eye of the world watching their response to Hurricane Rita, you'd think the Federal Government would be doing everything in the power to seem in control. Alas the incompetence seems to continue.

As early as last night CNN reported that mandatory evacuations for Galveston had been ordered beginning this morning. However, in an interview with Charlie Gibson on Good Morning America this morning, Michael Chertoff was clearly unaware of this. Following his role in delaying relief to Katrina (deliciously fingered by Mike Brown) he should be replaced immediately before he does anymore damage. The guy is too clearly working in the Bush mode of aloofness to have any position of responsibility for peoples lives.
