From Protein Wisdom:

FOXNews’ Major Garrett, who’s been a steady and honest reporter in a toxic “journalism” stew of hyperbolic, Shep Smith-style grandstanding, is reporting, despite reports that Michael Brown “padded” his resume, he does indeed have experience dealing with hurricanes, and that his past actions have been quite successful. Similarly, Garrett pointed out that the procedural failures all point to the bungled evacuation and local response, particularly Governor Blanco’s failure to act quickly.

In short? Brown has been made the fall guy by a bunch of shrieking hysterics whose understanding of FEMA (and the federal government) and its role as an integrated component of a single plan disaster plan (and who delivered and coordinated a remarkably impressive response that of its response timetable) was likely derived from a couple of screenings of X Files: Fight the Future.

Two days after the hurricane hit, we were told by our self-important press, a bunch of lefty blogs (and some on the right), and the international media that America should be embarrassed by what was unfolding in NOLA.

Turns out what we should really be embarrassed about is everything that has happened politically since that time.
