The Conservative Cat

So here's my question. Where was the brains of the Clinton family when the levees broke? All she had to do was make some noise about asking the Bush Administration to hurry up the rescue effort and we could have pulled out of this thing with America getting the job done and the junior Senator from New York being a national savior. Instead, she's calling for an investigation.

I think this is exactly the problem with the Democratic party: their brains are stuck in the Watergate hearings. Instead of seeing problems that need to be solved, they see opportunities for nationally-televised hearings. I normally don't like to predict the future, but I have this awful intuition that Congress is going to spend the fall session coming up with ways to make FEMA even bigger and slower than it already is.

Here's a better idea: call your senator right now and say that the solution to our problem is not a bigger bureaucracy: it's a new one-person Department of Publicity-Seeking Grandstanding, and until we get one, we want Bill Clinton pulled out of this post-relief administration nonsense so he can be johnny-on-the-spot BEFORE the looting starts.

I think it's wonderful that all you conservatives are trying to analyze this thing logically, but your forebrain has only been around for a few million years, while your fear center has been running the show since those dark years when your ancestors were stealing eggs from dinosaurs. You can't take it out of the equation.

Bill Clinton, Official Grandstander. Trust me on this.
