Bushvilles

The Post has a story detailing the failures of the Katrina recovery effort, which has been slow to provide housing and other supplies to evacuees. From the article:

Policymakers say that warehousing tens of thousands of people in trailer park communities until New Orleans and other cities are rebuilt could lead to the creation of dysfunctional "FEMAvilles," as residents of past encampments have called them. Democrats go further, warning that they may become known as "Bushvilles," just as Depression-era shantytowns were called "Hoovervilles."

This seems like a fitting name, seeing as past and present administrative ineptness and poor leadership in the face of the Gulf hurricanes has left us in this situation. The relief effort, spanning as it does several states, really ought to be a federal project. I think it's fair, then, to place some responsibility for fixing this mess and for whatever problems arise under those efforts squarely where it belongs, with the Bush administration.
