The Oops Factor

We'll be reading about how the Bush Administration screwed up the Katrina aftermath for weeks, months, and probably years to come (do I smell a Bob Woodward book on this?). For immediate perspective, however, Evan Thomas in Newsweek and Mike Allen in Time both have the inside track. Both pieces are very interesting and worth the read.

From the Time story:

"The extremely highly centralized control of the government—the engine of Bush's success—failed him this time," a key adviser said.

Does that sound like classical Republican leadership to anyone here? I thought Centralized Control was just for communists and other Liberals. I thought that the Replublican party believed in local leadership tied together voluntarily with other local leadership to coordinate a smooth society-wide unit of individuals putting their best forth and thereby helping support the greater good by participation; not by wrenching control from those who have the primary responsibility.

Oh, wait... Fascists use that Top Down thing too.

{sigh}
