Bloodless Coup

FEMA

Kevin Drum finds the Congressional recommendation on FEMA to be puzzling (emphasis mine):

This is truly remarkable. FEMA was a fine organization for eight years under Bill Clinton, widely recognized as one of the best run agencies in the federal government. But after a mere five years of George Bush's stewardship there's now a bipartisan consensus that it's so rundown that the only choice is to get rid of it and build a completely new agency in its place. Astonishing.

So the Bush team isn't just incompetent. They're destructive.
