In one of the textbook examples of Democratic Party COMPLICITY with the corruption and incompetence of the Bush administration, Democrats in Washington DC are practically VOICELESS at expressing OUTRAGE over the CRIMINALLY NEGLIGENT rebuilding and redevelopment efforts in New Orleans following the August 2005 disaster when rains from Hurricane Katrina weakened the levees - the FEDERAL LEVEES - around New Orleans and burst those levees, drowning huge swaths of the city. The Democratic "leaders" in the Senate have YET TO APOLOGIZE to American taxpayers for ALLOWING the CONFIRMATION of Republican crony Michael Brown - "Heckuva job, Brownie" to be the nation's FEMA Director - Brown having NEVER HAD ANY DISASTER EXPERIENCE.
