Tom DeLay: Response to Katrina a “Phenomenal Accomplishment”

Speaking on the floor of the House an hour ago, Tom DeLay evaluated the response to Hurricane Katrina:

It’s easy to be a Monday morning quarterback, but you should have been in that control room where those people were making life and death decisions, people that stayed up and got no sleep and very little food for five to six days straight trying to make the right decisions to save people. What happens when we come up here? They point the finger. You didn’t make the right decision here. You didn’t take care of my aides there. You didn’t do this. You didn’t do that. The point is if you look at the big picture, it’s a phenomenal accomplishment by everybody involved. It’s unbelievable. I am constantly struck by where we are today just a little over a week from the worst catastrophe that this country has seen.

This is why these they should not be running this country. Unbelievable!
