Mul,
The article only mentions the Rove thing in a paragraph towards the end; it is not the main topic being reported.
Yes, I have traveled the ether distances to deliver this link, all the way from the "Biggest Problem" thread. The two threads have some things in common, I think, and I didn't want to bump the other just to supply said link.

You originally said this...
"And so, what with the prez fixing to drop mega-billions into rebuilding the Gulf Coast region, who gets the job? Yeah, Karl Rove."
You phrased the statement like there was something nefarious and profit driven about the rebuild?...Nothing like what the article said. The article simply states that Rove is in charge...So what?...Isn't that who has been in charge the whole time? Rove seems to be running circles around the Democrats without the least hint (other than contrived by the left) of questionable behavior (Joe Wilson's treasonous attempts at getting Kerry elected aside).
It seems Karl Rove is on top of the situation...A situation that could have been prevented if Blanco, previous Louisiana administrations and the Mayor of New Orleans weren't absolutely incompetent...An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure...Now, because of the incompetence of the Governor of Lousiana and Mayor of New Orleans the American taxpayer is stuck with a massive bill...And you are upset at Bush?

I'd like to ask how you people feel about the Gulf Coast Wage Reduction, especially in light of the fact that this was one of the first things Bush did after Katrina.

Wage controls have proven themselves to destroy jobs by making unprofitable businesses...Unions, the people who are putting forth this gripe, are simply manufacturing this issue to drive up wages and bilk the taxpayers...If you are worth a salary you will be paid for it...One does not have a right to being paid beyond skill level, regardless of what the socialists say...It is not good business, it is unfair to business owners and it is unfair to the taxpayer...competition is good for the economy, the employee and the consumer.
Interesting how Halliburton gets tagged as a Bush/Cheney conspiratorial evil, yet you libs are now fighting for higher costs to the taxpayers...Where were ya'll regarding fighting for the workers of Halliburton?...What, it doesn't fit the agenda?...Now you are fighting for increased costs in the rebuild of the Gulf Coast...Why?...So when the costs become out of control you can blame Karl Rove and Dick Cheney?
Damned if you do, damned if you don't!

Also, does the klusterfock that was the retarded relief effort by the federal government point to the need for more federal authority and a larger role for federal troops in the future? Or do you think that maybe the "authority" measure was probably OK, but someone needed to get their thumb out of their sphincter?

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure...The Louisiana liberals failed the people of New Orleans, something they have been doing for years...Their failure shouldn't be my, your or any American's responsibility...The Louisiana politicians will be held responsible for this...The truth will come out and, much to the dismay of those liberals who were so quick to blame Bush, it will not bode well for the Democrat party.
