BushCo wastes all the Katrina recovery money on cronies while Congress...

...goes "la la la la..."

"Contracts with politically connected companies
Of more than 700 contracts valued at $500,000 or greater, more than half were awarded without competition, often to politically connected companies such as Halliburton subsidiary Kellogg, Brown & Root, Bechtel Corp. and AshBritt Inc.

Democrats, in particular, in recent weeks have called for limits on no-bid agreements, which they say have been awarded to politically connected companies at the expense of a slow Gulf Coast rebuilding effort.

“Previous reports of waste in the aftermath of Katrina have been bad, but this one is worse,” said Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Calif., the top Democrat on the House Government Reform Committee.

“The Bush administration has learned nothing from its disastrous contract management in Iraq,” he said. “The administration seems incapable of spending money in a way that actually meets the needs of Gulf Coast residents.”"

Bush sees every disaster as a money making opportunity for his pals. Let the poor dark people die in the streets, as long as Halliburton gets to put lots of $$$ in their pockets!

3. "The bush administration has learned nothing?"

The American people have learned nothing, and the Bush Administration has learned they can get away with everything.
