Heckuva Job Redux

Team Bush ponders the mystery of ice preservation.

Can this administration do anything right? Geez.

I saw a television report on the local news yesterday--ice purchased by FEMA almost two years ago never made it to the Gret Stet. Instead, it sat in a Memphis warehouse, and now it's melting into a watery mess. A fitting metaphor for Team Bush.

In yesterday's report, a passerby noted the waste, and also made quite a prescient observation: plenty of unemployed folks would have been willing and able to move the bags to where they were needed, had the administration bothered to hire them. Similarly, plenty of New Orleanians would no doubt take jobs doing construction work, but Team Bush has gone out of their way to ensure that immigrants of, ahem, uncertain legal status, are being hired instead.

Well, what do you expect from people so stupid they don't know how to keep ice from melting?
