I think we all know why.

But, as usual, you do not answer the point and instead start talking about other mildly related issues (yes Nagin and Blanco are to blame for other reasons) in an attempt to make the R's look good.

Again, Bush did ask her and she turned him down and lied about it later to cover her butt. I heard the taped call that was released.

Here's something from FEMA. Under Brown, FEMA was not a first responder. Check it out: http://www.fema.gov/news/newsrelease.fema?id=18470

It says they train first responders. I'll ask your own question, do you ever look anything up?
