<snip>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Go (expletive deleted) yourself, Mr. Cheney.

CHENEY: You have to figure out what to do with all of the debris.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Go (expletive deleted) yourself.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Are you getting a lot of that, Mr. Vice President?

CHENEY: And -- that's the first time I've heard it. Never mind. A friend of John -- or never mind.

But it's a question with what you do with the debris in terms of your toxic waste problem you've got to worry about, in terms of where you're going to put it, in terms of environmental restraints and regulations that have to be satisfied.

So there are, in fact, regulations and statutes on the books that we have to deal with as we work through this process. And we need to do everything we can to facilitate the operations at the local level. And that's why we are here. That's why FEMA's here.

3. Regulations, Dick? Really?

"So there are, in fact, regulations and statutes on the books that we have to deal with as we work through this process"

Well now. It seems to me the disaster relief that was performed by FEMA whan the Dakotas flooded or when St. Louis flooded went quite well by comparison to this mess.

That would mean either there is new red tape introduced by a Republican Congress and Administration, or the Administration and FEMA are just fucking incompetent, or both.

Seems to me the buck stops with you and George, eh Dick?
