ThinkProgress:

There are still key questions left unanswered about the administration's disaster response. Former FEMA chief Michael Brown said that in a still-secret videoconference shortly after Katrina hit New Orleans, he warned presidential aides that 90 percent of the city was being "displaced," but was greeted with "deafening silence." Brown also suggested "party politics played a role" in White House reactions to the aftermath of Katrina.
When he was running for re-election, Lieberman pledged to investigate the White House's conduct in the aftermath of Katrina....
Lieberman said he was not interested in "looking back, and assigning blame would be a waste of Congress' time." Responding to yesterday's protestor, Lieberman said, "We don't want to play `gotcha' anymore."

Here's the YouTube video of The Legendary KO's 'George Bush Doesn't Care About Black People' (a remix of Kanye West's Golddigger). It's a great video too.

Why doesn't the rest of that committee, (0.00 / 0)

demand to Lieberman that they DO want to investigate the failures of this administration so that they are not repeated in the future.
Listening to CNN today, their theme today is that the 2008 elections will revolve around Katrina failure. Obama would do well to stand up and say "yeah, let's play a little gotcha".

I'm going to pay close attention to how Obama handles this one. (0.00 / 0)

Pay-back's a bitch, Joe. Let's not forget he's got millions of GOP "pay-back" that came pouring into his campaign after the primary. This is just the first of many issues in which Lieberman is showing his true loyalty. I take that back . . . it's the second. We all know what the first was.
