"Brownie, you're doing a heck of a job."
In FEMA's defense, I'll only echo what I heard Florida's emergency management head -- a Republican by the way -- say about wasted spending during a news segment on The News Hour a few months ago: You have to expect a certain percentage of money to be wasted when you are spending so much money in such a sort amout of time during such harrowing conditions. If America would spend as much on puppet shows as we do on myopic visions of Middle Eastern democratic Renaissance ($250 million a day), we'd be much better off.
