2. This could be an interesting hearing
I forgot Kerry was on this sub-committee. We are talking about the loss of a possible 100,000 people. How many could have been saved if the warnings had been given in time? WTF is going on at NOAA? We could have tried harder to give notice to Sri Lanka and Indonesia. And we muffed up a golden opportunity to curry favor with the world's largest Muslim nation.

Is there any possible way that the Shrubofiles could have handled this worse? 4 days go by before The Idiot comes out and expresses the condolences of the American people. (Clinton, a real President, beat him to it. How embarrassing. And WH aides were trashing Clinton for this. Honestly!)

Olympia Snowe is a good Senator. Hopefully she actually holds these hearings and they actually do some good. I have a feeling they will be more closely watched internationally than at home though.
