How can so many people completely miss the blatant hypocrisy in this?

Hearkening even further back in history to the days of Roosevelt’s New Deal and its vast expansion of federal power in the 1930s, Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., called for a New Orleans and Gulf Coast Redevelopment Authority modeled after the Tennessee Valley Authority.

Clearly, if there's one thing we've learned after Katrina, it's just how efficient and effective the federal government can truly be!
