From today's Pittsburgh Tribune-Review:
President Bush is weighing a proposal to create a temporary federal commission with its own director to coordinate reconstruction efforts in Gulf Coast states devastated by Hurricane Katrina, U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum said Friday.
Santorum, the third-ranking Republican in the Senate, said he spoke with Bush about the concept on Thursday at the White House.
"I referred to it as 'The Marshall Plan for the Gulf Coast.' He seemed to like the idea," the Penn Hills Republican said in an interview with the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. "Ideally, this would be a presidential initiative with a presidential appointee."
Which one of President Bush's cronies do you think Rick suggested for the director position? Maybe Michael Brown should
pad update his resume and apply for this new job.
Do you think "coordinate reconstruction efforts" might be a euphemism for "choose which corporations get federal contracts and money?"
