Well, maybe they could have told the populace GET THE HELL OUT earlier than 18 hours before landfall.

Just a thought.

Remember the mass exodus from Houston 96 hours before Rita? That’s what competent state/local leadership looks like.

Yeah! It’s obviously Ray Nagin’s fault that the National Guard was in Iraq and that FEMA was just twiddling their thumbs the entire time. I mean, why the hell didn’t he just use the billions and BILLIONS of dollars they had just lying around to buy an anti-hurrican cannon? (A hurricane, by the way, that was started by Murtha).

That's not fair! Bush did not stay on his ranch-he immediately flew out-to Arizona for Senator McCain's birthday! He got himself another beautiful guitar, as well-very charismatic picture!

You’re telling me that Bush, sitting on his ranch in Crawford, should be able to override a black mayor (with an 80% black populace) and say “Don’t listen to your local officials. And oh, by the way, we’re sending in the military.”

Let’s be honest, your reaction would be “Jackboots! Facist! The Bush Reich!”

Or maybe the people of New Orleans know – like most Americans – that the buck in Katrina stopped with the President

Well, it didn’t. And unfortunately, too many people, including yourself have bought into the lie.

But what should I expect from somebody whose criticism of Nagin and Blanco was limited to saying they “weren’t perfect”?

Yeah, those niggers are idiots, right Jay? Or maybe the people of New Orleans know – like most Americans – that the buck in Katrina stopped with the President and the Mayor and Governor, though not without blame, don’t have the resources in their hands like the President and therefore overwhelmingly re-elected Mayor Nagin. It’s pretty insane that we’re providing quicker relief for the earthquake in Jakarta than for a hurricane in Louisiana and Mississippi.

Bush produced a hurricane? Amazing.

Oh and it says a lot about voters in New Orleans that they returned Ray Nagin to office despite the fact that he (along with Governor Blanco), and not Bush as you forever whine, was largley responsible for the mess the city turned into because of Katrina.
