"As I pointed out, Rita was a blip on the hurricane radar." Like so many things you point out, you are wrong. Anybody who claims a cat 5 hitting a populated area is just a blip is either a liar or a fool. There just aren't many ways to slice it. "Elevated Interstates that were inaccessible from every direction" So, how did that bus get from New Orleans to Houston the day after the storm? en.wikipedia.org "There was inadequate food or water, no provision for waste disposal, and no access to medical care." It wasn't intended for long term use. It was intended as a, duh, emergency shelter. "I agree that it is hard to get people to evacuate; but you cannot hold FEMA responsible for that." No you can't. However, as shown with Rita, they can help. Remember what the 'M' stands for in FEMA. "RITA was basically a nonevent" I suppose you have no idea how absolutely stupid that sounds. "I've been there 10 or more times since then, and it is clear to me that you don't comprehend what Katrina was versus Rita." I fully comprehend the difference. "I'm not sure why FEMA should have been involved with it at all." ust when I think you can't get any more mendacious, you top yourself...
