Bus woes

Atrios does a good job picking apart this article from the Chicago Tribune. Seems the absolute incompetence of the Katrina relief effort was not isolated to government leaders, but spread deep into the private contractors hired to evacuate people. Well, not so deep. Turns out the main bus contractor is headed by a big-shot lobbyist. I bet his beltway insider status didn't have any impact on his firm getting the $100 million contract.
