Hurricane Politics

QandO has a couple of decent posts on the rubbish flowing into the politics of the hurricane disaster. The vitriol being splashed around is kind of stunning. Screams about the National Guard not being around to help because they are in Iraq to the rants that the severity of the hurricane is Bush's fault.

The quotes from Kennedy and Jurgen Trittin are fascinating. Especially in the total lack of research that they indicate. How someone can open their mouth to make such statements with no contact with science is amazing. Worst of all is that people will believe them because they are speaking in the press.
