      Meaning it would be a complete disaster? He may be right.

        At least he acknowledges that Katrina was a disaster... Or is one of those that blames it all on black people? Probably, huh?

        One of my favortie quote from the campaign early last year came from Mitt Romney. He said, "I don't want the same people who handled Katrina to be handling my health care!"

        And I thought, "I agree, Mitt. I don't want the REPIUBLICANS handling my health care either!"

      To make the current H1N1 situation equivalent to FEMA and Katrina, the CDC and HHS would first have to downplay the danger of H1N1 and tell people that everything was fine and there was nothing to worry about.

      After the first thousand or so deaths, the CDC would then start to make a vaccine far too late to be of any use and it never would have been distributed.

      Then to make it truly equivalent, the administation would simply ignore any issues regarding the problem and just hope it all goes away.

      This seems to be the new cue coming from the "500 guys at the Heritage Foundation." They are willing to throw old GWB under the bus, acknowledge that Katrina was a disaster and use it as a metaphor. Karl Rove will soon be over to the 500 guy room to render punishment.
