From the Dept. of Bad Ideas
From Drudge:
This morning on Fox's "Fox and Friends," former Indiana Democrat congressman and 9/11 commissioner Tim Roemer called on President Bush to name former President Jimmy Carter to the head of efforts to rebuild New Orleans.Carter is a whiner and a hand-wringer delux. While he would fit right in with Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Blanco, we're not sure the nation could handle the two of them wailing in tandem. Tim Roemer is a partisan idiot.
Roemer told the stunned hosts: "The second thing we should do is put somebody like former President Jimmy Carter in charge of rebuilding New Orleans."
BTW, since when did members of the now-defunct "9/11 Commission" earn the title "9/11 Commissioner" -- as if it actually gave them some sort of authority?

Sorry to see President Carter so critized in your blog. Mr. Carter is an engineer by training which usually means strong managment skills in special projects. If there ever was a "special project", the rebuilding of New Orleans qualifies.
The former president's engineering skills were likely part of his problems in managing his presidency. Engineers do not always possess general managment skills. There is a difference.
Actually, I've got to figure that with all that practice at Habitat for Humanity, he's just the guy I'd want nailing up new buildings.
