Tim Russert tears apart Bush, Chertoff, feds on Imus this morning (now with audio link) dailykos.com by VirginiaDem Tue Sep 6th, 2005 at 07:08:41 PDT I was spellbound, listening to Russert... * He tore apart Bush for claiming we didn't anticipate this: "Who is advising him?" He noted the Hurricane Pam similution that predicted a levee breach. * He called Chertoff out for claiming that he heard about the levees breaking Tues. afternoon, noting that the Times-Picayune had that news up Monday. * He slammed the Feds about not knowing about the Convention Center. * He asked repeatedly why, four years after 9/11, we were so woefully unprepared for this disaster. He wondered what was going on the past 4 years. * Imus wondered if racism was involved. Russert wasn't sure and just thought it was pure incompetence. (Memo to White House: when MSM is debating whether your failures were due to racism or incompetence, no spin will save you). I didn't catch the whole thing, and I'm looking around for a transcript or a clip somewhere. If I or anyone else locate one I'll post it here. Please round out my recollection in the comments if you heard him this morning too.
