This is making Dubya's response to Katrina look downright brilliant. That guy in charge of FEMA needs to get the boot, too. I couldn't believe he continues to trash the San Juan mayor as she struggles to locate drinking water for outlying municipalities. Rachel said the giant hospital ship now down there is treating only 7 patients. Meanwhile, people who need dialysis - among other things - are struggling to stay alive.

Not his fault their electrical grid is failing.
Blaming PR for being devastated by a hurricane.




We cannot keep FEMA, the Military & the First Responders, who have been amazing (under the most difficult circumstances) in P.R. forever!
