Bush's NOLA Option No. 3: Buy My Way Out

After the failures of Operation Lie About It and Operation Smear the Locals, Bush apparently now has turned to Option No. 3 ... Operation Cronyism.

Does anybody truly believe these guys can efficiently manage this massive reconstruction effort? Let's look at some of their past spending efforts:

- Medicare Prescription Drug Plan - costs grossly exceeding the numbers provided to Congress due in large part to huge payouts to Drug companies.
- Iraqi Reconstruction - Billions of dollars that can't be accounted for.
- Missile Defense - Huge payouts to Bush benefactors yielding zero concrete results.
