FEMA is Not Alone
Paul Krugman of the NY Times says that FEMA is not the only federal agency infected with Bush cronyism. You can find the article here.
But what we really should be asking is whether FEMA's decline and fall is unique, or part of a larger pattern. What other government functions have been crippled by politicization, cronyism and/or the departure of experienced professionals? How many FEMA's are there?
He describes several agencies that suffer from the same cronyism affliction. It is well worth the read.
