Here's a bit of a zinger from John McCain's announcement speech:
We must also prepare, far better than we have, to respond quickly and effectively to another terrorist attack or natural calamity. When Americans confront a catastrophe, natural or man-made, they have a right to expect basic competence from their government. They won't accept that firemen and policemen are unable to communicate with each other in an emergency because they don't have the same radio frequency. They won't accept government's failure to deliver bottled water to dehydrated babies or rescue the infirm from a hospital with no electricity. They won't accept substandard care and indifference for wounded veterans.
Says Mr. McCain: "That's not good enough for America. And when I'm President, it won't be good enough for me."
As I've mentioned before, I don't think much of these 9/11 families who have it in for Rudy Giuliani and their wildly unfair attacks on the former mayor. Frankly, it's a little disappointing that Mr. McCain is picking up this line of attack.
