bureaucracy should be thrown out of the water

[Bruce Hunter]

Press reports over the weekend highlighted a legal tug-of-war between federal and state authorities [JURIST report] that left victims of the hurricane caught in the middle with little or no relief. Asked whether "bureaucracy" was behind the Katrina failure, Nagin replied "Bull-crap. When people are dying, bureaucracy should be thrown out of the water."

If it made any sense, actually the opposite of what he probably intended.
