Just don't give me the same idiot

* "MR. McCLELLAN: No, you're asking me to put a time frame on it, and right now, with all the ongoing needs on the ground, we've got to remain focused there."
Holden: "More talking point confusion. Shorter Scottie: If we put a time frame on investigating the administration's failures the hurricanes will just wait and strike us when the investigation concludes." (link)

* "The mortician, Dan Buckner, is part of DMORT (Disaster Mortuary Operational Response Team), which is a volunteer wing of the Department of Homeland Security called in to set up morgues and process bodies in major domestic disasters. And he's been deployed to Gulfport, Miss. Bucker tells the paper that "DMort is telling us to expect up to 40,000 bodies." And he goes on to say that that number does not "include the number of disinterred remains that have been displaced from ... mausoleums."" (link)

* "Aaron Broussard, the president of suburban Jefferson Parish, said: "Bureaucracy has murdered people in the greater New Orleans area. And bureaucracy needs to stand trial before Congress today. So I'm asking Congress, please investigate this now. Take whatever idiot they have at the top of whatever agency and give me a better idiot. Give me a caring idiot. Give me a sensitive idiot. Just don't give me the same idiot."" (link)

* "What we all saw last week on national TV was the moral equivalent of the Rodney King beating multiplied times 30,000; that's the number of people locked away in the feces-infected Superdome. It gave us a good look into America's dark-heart, where the evil secret we keep tucked-away in a vault can always be denied; racism." (link)

* "Can Bush lose the Ted Koppel's, the Charlie Gibson's, the Brian William's, the Matt Lauer's, etc etc and still maintain any credibility? I don't think so. I think Bush is toast. The question now is whether or not he should continue to serve. I would rather see him go. But before he goes, let's have a real investigation into whether or not he ever honestly won a presidential election. Personally, I doubt if he did." (link)
