Keystone Cops Rebuild New Orleans

[MSgt213]

Ineptitude, from Reuters:

President George W. Bush accused Congress on Wednesday of shortchanging New Orleans of about $1.5 billion in funds to rebuild levees that were breached by flood waters when Hurricane Katrina struck.

"Congress heard our message about improving the levees but they shortchanged the process by about $1.5 billion dollars," Bush said in a rare attack on members of his own party as he toured the devastated city. <...>

Jenny Manley, a spokeswoman for the Senate Appropriations Committee, said that although the White House had announced in a news conference it wanted the full $3.1 billion to go to New Orleans, the official request was never sent to Congress.

"I don't think the blame can be put on Congress," she said.

1. They're starting to have a little problem with money

Like the man said, "A billion here, a billion there, pretty soon your talking about real money."

2. Now you're insulting the Keystone Cops. At least they were funny

and worth watching. They could even write so you didn't have to read lips.
