Great paper - Nagin and Blanco must be extremely stupid and ignorant to screw up so badly. Louisiana surely got a twofer at the wrong time.
Most family picnics are better organized. Even with competing Aunt Jessie and cousin Edith, they cooperate to get the job done for the benefit of the whole family.
Nagin and Blanco are a disgrace to the hard earned reputation of American ingenuity.

Yeah, but if we don't succeed in bringing all the facts to everyone's attention around the country (and around the world) only the meme of "Bush let those people die" will be remembered. The Demagogues are already well on their way to launching their latest Moveon.org campaign utilizing "hurricane relief" to turn this into their next big campaign issue:

And Hillary! was on Good Morning America this morning - calling for a Katrina Commission that will only examine the federal response. If there had been a brick handy, I would need a new TV now. I'm still as livid as I have ever been in over a decade of political activism.
I earlier joked that the Dems would pull a 9-11 Commission and put Blanco on the Katrina Commission. Well, they are trying to do the next best thing - keep any Katrina Commission from looking into local and state failures - just problems with the federal response.
And that means they are just as unconcerned about fixing disaster response as they were about fixing intelligence failures. And people will die again in the future as a result.
