WASHINGTON (AP) -- In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, Americans must start "asking tough questions" about their safety, a House member from Louisiana said in the Democrats' weekly radio address.

"We are engaged in a massive effort under difficult circumstances to save lives and stabilize this crisis so that we may begin to restore our communities," Rep. Charlie Melancon said. "This is job one."

"We must also be about the job of asking tough questions, my fellow Americans -- questions about the health of our infrastructure and emergency response capabilities," Melancon said.

It was an apparent reference to the federal government's widely criticized handling of relief efforts after New Orleans levees broke and flooded the city.

2. OK, now look here...... every frigging time I hear this crap about

asking the tough questions, I know, that what it means, is that someone or several someones in HIGH PLACES should be going down, being sued, or going to jail and it NEVER NEVER NEVER EVER happens, in *'s America, it's only treason if Clinton did it. They can all go to hell as far as I am concerned.
