More Disaster Response

Tom DeLay can't put it more clearly--he'll place politics above lives every time:

The House majority leader late Tuesday tried to deflect criticism of the federal response to Hurricane Katrina by saying "the emergency response system was set up to work from the bottom up," then announced a short time later that House hearings examining that response had been canceled.

Oh, Satan is going to have fun with you, Mr. DeLay--just you wait.
