Waisting time and money is an essential part of world's Legislators' nature (And Mrs. Clinton is certainly not the exception). They try to justify their wages (that are usually very high) by stablishing comissions that allow them to be in the spotlight, get extra resources and justify more naping time.

Mrs. Clinton, like any other legislator in the World, certainly says that she's too busy working for her country, so she rarely watches TV. Since Discovery Channel, Nat Geo, etc.. have existed, there have always been programmes about natural disasters, those programs are usually so good, that the ordinary viewer, that means persons like you and me, don't need to be experts or metheorologists to understand that natural disasters can frequently reach proportions far beyond mankind's capacities to handle them.

I'd suggest Hillary to invest more time watching The Discovery Channel or Nat Geo's instead of wasting time attacking president Bush.

Cities that have been built on swampy lands (like Venice & Mexico City) sooner or later start to sink. New Orleans was founded by a guy named Bienville, not by president Bush on a swampy place. Some parts of New Orleans (most of its down town) started sinking much before president Bush was even born. Actually, a considerable part of N.O. is below sea level, and had to be protected by barriers. Maybe Mrs. Clinton is more concerned about her liberal agenda than basic aritmethics. If barriers are 7 mts. high and the flood raises more than 10 mts, it's logic to think that the remaining 3 mts of water are going to cross to the other side. President Bush didn't create 10mts waves. Yeap, barriers are not perfect or infallible, ask the dutch or the chinese that have much more experience dealing with flooding lands than new orleaners. Now if Mrs. Clinton claims that authorities were not enough prepared... well, the firsts in order to act were county and state authorities. Being honest this hurricane was so huge that not even federal authorities (the 3° ones)could act properly. Remember some 10 years ago when the mississippi basin flooded?! Well who can be prepared for this kind of nature made disasters?

So if a huge asteroid crashes against planet earth, will Mrs Clinton blame on president Bush??!!
