Excerpt:
And so it came to pass this week that official Washington got the event it
most fervently desired. No, not the indictment of Tom DeLay. Not even the
confirmation of the Supreme Court's 17th chief justice. The big event was
the ceremonial bearbaiting of the bureaucrat designated "responsible"--a
term of unique application in Washington--for the human devastation wrought
by a Category 5 hurricane called Katrina. "I don't know how you can sleep at
night," Rep. Kay Granger of Texas hissed at Michael Brown, the pilloried,
disgraced and disowned former FEMA director. The members poked him for
hours. It was a good show.

Mission accomplished?
