Not only did Frances Townsend omit the hospital with the highest patient death toll, the White House refused to share Fran Townsend's and Andy Card's e-mails. Poor Joe Hagin ran the show, nearly by himself for days. Don’t forget Republicans incompetent investigative report on Katrina.

Bush didn't do squat. Fran Townsend was AWOL. Rumsfeld stalled military aid until ordered by Bush, a full five days after landfall.
