The GOP is starting to reveal its tactics for November, and dodging responsibility for the government's role in the Katrina response will certainly be a top priority. To that end, Republican Sen. Susan Collins from the Great State of Maine [of Cheers and Jeers fame - HOORAY!] has proposed that FEMA be abolished. Sounds a lot like the way the administration handled another tragic and systemic problem in Iraq: simply close Abu Ghraib and then consider the matter closed. This kind of transparent posturing is tantamount to an admission of guilt; and it's a far cry from a real solution - aside from it being a complete detour from any search for accountability.
