HOW WILL THE TRI-STATE AREA REBUILD AFTER SANDY? “The sheer number of people who need to be rehoused is itself an enormous issue. The second problem, for government officials, is that the program for rehousing will be under the scrutiny of the media every day and in every way. It’s happening right under the noses of the media, and affects many of them directly, through their own stories and those of friends and family. Unlike Katrina’s rehousing needs, which to seemed to many after the first month to be happening in a galaxy far, far away, these needs will be happening right on the doorstep of the rich and the famous.”

Yeah, on the other hand George W. Bush isn’t involved and can’t be blamed for anything that goes wrong . . . .
