Why was it more important to investigate Whitewater than NO?

[Hubert Flottz]

Why could we spend over 50 million dollars investigating Whitewater and congress could spend 6 months impeaching Clinton, instead of doing the country's business. Now the republican controlled congress can't find the time, or the money, to investigate the cause of 10,000 deaths of American citizens?

I don't think anyone even died over whitewater, until the feds under Ken Starr's direction, killed Mr. McDougal as they tortured him in prison, trying to get him to lie about Bill Clinton. In the end, neither of the Clintons were ever found guilty in the Whitewater case. Maybe a special investigator would clear the Bush administration of any blame in this FEMA disaster, that did in fact, kill thousands.

If Bush has nothing to hide, why then is he so afraid of a legitimate investigation? If we can spend over a hundred billion dollars on rebuilding three states, we should be able to afford another few million dollars to find out what really happened and to make sure it NEVER happens again.

1. OMG!! I can't believe you just posted this

2. torture?

George FUBAR has EVERYTHING to hide. DUH! There is not an authentic bone in his body.

8. Are your fingers broken so badly that you can't google?

The feds were slow about giving Mr. McDougle his heart medications when they were holding him in jail, among other things, I'v read.

3. Why, because it was Clinton...

Surely you know that everything is his fault???

[magnolia]

13. Hey...why didn't Clinton just do his own...

...investigation on Whitewater! Then he could have investigated filegate and travelgate and blowjobgate.....yeah, that's the ticket!

4. Because we play fair and they play to win...

unfairly

5. Find a SEX angle and mention Bill Clinton THEN it will matter.

"Bill Clinton has sex with Katrina" might be enough to get an investigation rolling...

How'd I do?

7. I understand that Katrina

could really blow.

6. Accountability

Why for accountability, of course. I mean, if we didn't check under every rock to see if Clinton has ever been involved in any thin improper how would we ever have found out that he got a blow job in the Oval Office?

Meanwhile, we all know that no one (well, maybe Condi--or Jeff Gannon)could stomach giving Bush a blow job, and who cares so what's to investigate?

After all, how can we possibly expect to hold Republicans accountable too?

10. All we get out of the GOP ia a snow job!

Or No Job!

9. I never did understand what Whitewater was all about

It struck me as a lot of confusing banker's jargon and lawerly gobeldygook. Nobody could ever explain it to me in less than half an hour.

[existentialist]

12. It was a witch hunt.

How's that for a concise description?

[Hubert Flottz]

14. The GOPers tried to prove that the Clintons stole 40,000 dollars

a land deal in Arkansas. If the GOP can spend 50 million to get to the bottom of the Whitewater thing, then why can't the GOPers look into things like this..............

Wexler Calls for FEMA Director's Resignation
Letter to President Requests Brown's Dismissal for Fraudulent Payments Made by FEMA After Hurricane

(Washington, DC) - Today, Congressman Robert Wexler (D-FL) sent the following letter to President George Bush requesting that he immediately remove Michael Brown from his position as head of the Homeland Security Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Under Secretary Brown's agency disbursed over $30 million in disaster relief money, which was allocated to over 10,000 Miami-Dade claimants after Hurricane Frances, which made landfall more than 100 miles away and there was no more than a heavy rainstorm. According to several news accounts by the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, "FEMA has written checks to cover new wardrobes, cars, lawn mowers, vacuum cleaners, furniture and thousands of televisions, microwave ovens, stoves, air conditioners and other appliances." In addition, the Sun-Sentinel sites that FEMA paid $4,500 for one resident's funeral, even though the county medical examiner recorded no storm-related deaths. Another Sun-Sentinel article stated that two residents received aid for "dental treatments due to dental injuries received during the disaster." In six other cases, FEMA reimbursed residents for damage caused by "ice/snow."

On Monday, January 11, FEMA held a news conference acknowledging that they made $12 million in overpayments to 3,500 individuals - blaming these overpayments on a "computer glitch." FEMA, however, continues to deny additional systematic problems and cites the National Oceanic Atmospheric Association (NOAA) to prove that there were legitimate hurricane conditions in Miami-Dade. Yet, according to the Sun-Sentinel, NOAA has refuted the weather maps FEMA claims to have obtained from them. As the head of FEMA, Under Secretary Brown oversees federal disaster response and recovery operations, and it is negligent of him to refuse to accept responsibility for its agency mistakes.

"Rather than taking responsibility for FEMA's mishaps and moving expeditiously to correct the problems, Under Secretary Brown has further undermined his agency's reputation by stymied investigations and inquiries into fraud allegations. FEMA's massive misallocation of recovery aid is a gross waste of taxpayer monies, which must be immediately addressed by the Bush Administration," Wexler said.
