Can't Be Bothered


From First Draft, more Team Bush ineptitude:

The federal judge who unsealed a whistle-blower case last month about insurance companies allegedly overbilling the National Flood Insurance Program is demanding that the U.S. Department of Justice get involved in the case or explain itself.

The unusual move comes from U.S. District Judge Peter Beer, who unsealed a case in which a group of former insurance adjusters say that they have collected evidence that insurance companies have defrauded taxpayers by overbilling the federal flood program while underpaying claims for Hurricane Katrina wind damage to save the companies money.

So much for looking out for the taxpayers...
