Especially unlucky then that he was put in charge of disaster planning and management.

I don't expect the Fed Govt to do anything for me in a disaster. Call me crazy, but when someone says to me "Your choices are depend on Uncle Sam to chopper your ass from harm's way or git off your ass and steal a fucking car to get away from the storm if you have to," I'm taking my chances with the grand theft auto charges...
Anyone who actually trusts that a fucking fed govt agency is equipped to do anything difficult correctly or efficiently has himself to blame when he finds himself trapped on a debris pile. We have a duty to protect the disadvantaged, but come on... I mena, isn't it incumbent on somebody to get on the local news and say "Hey! You're fucked! Get the hell outta town! Don't trust the govt to save your ass!" Betting Uncle Sam or the local idiots will save your ass is like assuming your health insurer will pay for the finest care available. It ain't fun being a horrible cynic, but it is nice that you never get caught in The Deep Shit that always seems to find the gullible...
