These Dim Bulbs are going to seriously regret their attempt to turn a national tragedy into a political gain.

"Louisiana has received far more money for Corps civil works projects than any other state, about $1.9 billion."

Yet a flood wall was not even considered? Incredible!

Uh, Oh.......the Bad News for the Dems keeps coming....

Here's an excerpt......"But overall, the Bush administration's funding requests for the key New Orleans flood-control projects for the past five years were slightly higher than the Clinton administration's for its past five years"

For example, after a $194 million deepening project for the Port of Iberia flunked a Corps cost-benefit analysis, Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.) tucked language into an emergency Iraq spending bill ordering the agency to redo its calculations.

I think she better go punch a mirror.

As reported to me by family members, LA is one really corrupt state government state, always has been.

If I were a Republican I'd be pushing this story with everything I had. But, of course, it's dangerous for everyone. All politicians have an affinity for pork and mud.

I suppose from a democrat point of view the funding was insufficient...insufficient to overcome the graft of the democrats in charge. If enough money had been poured in, even the corrupt democrats couldn't have siphoned off enough to have stopped the needed repairs and upgrades.

Does this story say that the money that was supposed to go to reinforcing the levee instead went to improve to dock for the barge that was left in the canal and BROKE THE LEVEE last week?

Good Lord! Have the pajama-clad bloggers finally had a positive affect on the MSM? Did the WaPo realize how much of tis is public record and would soon hit premier sites like FreeRepublic, LGF, Powerline, etc. to be picked up and mainstreamed via Drudge? Is that why they are actualy doing some investigative reporting even though DemocRATs will be hurt? I'll be looking to the west tomorrow morning at sunrise, just in case.
