This comes from the mouthpiece of the Bush Administration, the Washington Times:
Republican political consultant Michael Edelman, who has known the Bush family for decades, said the perception that the federal government failed miserably to react quickly enough to the crisis puts the Republican control of Congress at risk next year.
"The Democrats have an issue in this hurricane," Mr. Edelman said. "They were given it and they are going to run it up the flagpole. If the Republicans in Congress are not careful, they are going to lose the midterm elections. They know it, too. They can smell it."
Mr. Edelman said the Democratic message of incompetence in the Bush administration during this disaster resonates with the public, and it is impossible for the Democrats -- who have tried in vain to hurt Mr. Bush politically on issue after issue -- to overplay their hand.
"I don't think you can overplay a hand like this," he said. "This is a once-in-a-lifetime hand. The ramifications of incompetence in FEMA for national security purposes are astounding. Someone is supposed to keep us safe. That's what we pay taxes for."
If the Republican is correct, impeachment hearings will begin shortly after the 2006 election.
