Too many snafus for a snit

Six million prepared meals valued at about $ 43 million: That’s the tally on FEMA’s latest snafu. The latest one we know about anyway. Was ever an agency of the federal government so mismanaged ? Don’t bother trying to come up with an answer. It was a purely rhetorical question. Walking across the parking lot the other day, I spotted a bumper sticker from the Clinton library. “I miss Bill,” it said. I don’t miss Bill, but I sure miss James Lee Witt. I first met Witt at a meet-and-greet at his home for then-Gov. Bill Clinton. Nice guy, I thought, but given Clinton’s propensity for rewarding loyalty, his later elevation from county judge to director of the state’s emergency management office struck me as just another patronage appointment. Wrong.
