Little Bush has appointed a member of his inner coterie to investigate the blunders of his inner coterie during the Katrina disaster. Homeland Security Advisor Frances Townsend, a lawyer with no disaster relief experience, will lead the probe. The move is a desperate attempt to preempt Congressional demands for an independent inquiry.
Townsend’s last investigative job, Bill Fisher reports, was to prepare an incisive review of the White House-commissioned "slam dunk" report on pre-Iraq intelligence failures. "You will begin to see action in a matter of weeks," Townsend said after she was appointed, according to the April Fool’s Day edition of the Washington Post. We?re still waiting, Fisher notes. Some joke. [Cartoon Credit: Get Your War On]
