House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi led all but seven of her fellow Democrats in voting against a special committee to investigate the preparation for and response to Hurricane Katrina.” Labeling this committee “partisan,” the San Francisco liberal faults the federal response for falling “so very short” in its relief efforts, yet in a press release (which, for some reason comes up in a Yahoo! news search), she utters nary a word about failures at the state and local level.
For Ms Pelosi — as for all too many of her fellow Democrats and the overwhelmingly majority of the MSM — the issue is not determining what exactly happened in the wake of this the “seventh deadliest natural disaster to strike this country” (HT: GOP Vixen), but finding fault with President Bush and the Administration. They don’t want an investigation to find the facts but one which confirms the legend they have created about this disaster.
