More whining whiners whining about the Bush administration's brave and heroic response in New Orleans?

...Among people here, frustration is rising with the Federal Emergency Management Agency in particular....

"It's a joke how long it has taken to get help down here," says Todd Schweizer, one of nine men from Florida who drove ... with 2,000 hamburgers, 2,000 hotdogs, and an enormous grill. The men, who work for a trash-collection business, also brought diapers, dog food, and water - $25,000 worth of products, says Mr. Schweizer, the company's owner. "These folks need our help."

...Councilman Bill Stallworth ... says people have been calling in, asking for mattress vouchers, brooms, buckets, and mops. His district has only four portable toilets. "It is 10 days later, and there is still not a peep," he says. "Most are still living in unsafe housing, exposed to the weather. FEMA has been missing in action."

Linn, ... who didn't want to give his last name because he works for the city, says his house is moulding and his three cars are destroyed. FEMA told him he can collect $3,000 for the cars, but the agency hasn't said when. Though he's told there are places he can get information, he has no way to get around. "Everyone I talk to says FEMA tells them the same thing: 'I'll call you back,' " he says on his way to ask the police if he can borrow a bicycle....


Nope -- this is Biloxi.

Oh, but this must be more left-wing propaganda. Surely the real fault must lie with inept local Democrat politicians.

Whoops -- the mayor of Biloxi is a Republican. As is the governor of Mississippi.

Well ... er ... maybe it's all Hillary Clinton's fault....
