It’s no secret I’m not a fan of Wisconsin’s senior Senator, I’ve even filed a Declaration of Candiacy to run against him. but when he gets it right, as in his release today, I’ll give him full credit.
Is this impeachment talk?
Keep it up, Herb, and I’ll drop out.
Sen. Kohl’s remarks on the Federal response to Katrina below the fold. Emphasis mine.
“Like anyone who has heard of the horrific destruction in New Orleans and the gulf coast region and of the deteriorating and dangerous conditions of the hundreds of thousands of refugees, I am stunned and sickened that such a scene could unfold in the United States. Reports of an uncoordinated, insufficient, and often completely absent federal response has compounded the national tragedy.
“Officials at highest levels of government will have to answer to how this could happen in a country as rich and supposedly well prepared for disaster as the United States. Those questions will be asked — and there will be accountability — but, right now, the focus must remain on saving lives and housing refugees in sanitary, humane conditions.”
.
When the focus returned from their field anchors to Atlanta Studio anchor, the production script flipped over like a chapter of a book. Most interviews are with administration officials and the reports from NOLA are in line with the rescue missions of our Navy and the food and medical supplies from our boys and girls at FEMA.
What a bs from CNN – who’s providing the money and Ad revenues. Or where they threatened to be evacuated from the disaster zone, if they didn’t change tune and become embedded with our military forces?
I would like to find out what happened!

Aaron Brown must not have gotten the memo. He was scathing last night. He was magnificent in his outrage at what he was seeing and hearing. Especially when it came to race/class determining evacuations.
To quote him from last night:
I’ve even heard that Fox can’t spin this for Bush anymore. Their reporters have had it.
I’m watching NBC Weekend Today right now and there hasn’t even been a mention of Bush’s trip to the Gulf Coast. That’s unheard of from the Bush cheerleading NBC.
Fox behaving strangely..
Americablog linked me to this C&L video in the wee hours this morning:
Last thing I saw last night was Aaron Brown’s scalpel dissecting Bush’s propaganda campaign. This morning I see General Honore the conquering hero leading the convoy of liberation. Did we change universes while I slept?
Looks like the Iraq veterans who down keeping order in New Orleans are singing like birds…
But I thought everything was under control in Iraq??? You… you mean… it’s not?!?
Well, well, well, what a surprise! <bitter smile>
