Excellent column, and certainly dead on.

Another lesson is that the scumbags of the Democrat "mainstream" newsrooms will sink as low as they have to in order to smear Republicans by editorially morphing an agency like FEMA into a "first responder" while at the same time asserting that Bush and the Republican Congress reacted poorly (and subliminally suggesting that maybe the Republicans in fact caused the hurricane by their environmental policies).

Naturally, most of these Democrat newsrooms also went into full spin cycle to protect the Democrat mayor and the Democrat governor from responsibility, and no way would these Democrat newsrooms examine the welfare-state's role in the New Orleans circus as neighborhoods full of government-dependent illiterates flailed their arms in helplessness.

Well said. Have you noticed that whenEVER the DemocRATS cause a disaster the MSM helps them blame it on Republicans anyway?
"[During the Hurricane Katrina Catastrophe Louisiana Governor Kathleen] Blanco -- whose political style relies on appointing commissions, studying problems and taking a long time to make decisions -- did not exactly inspire confidence as a leader in a crisis."-- Byron York, HERE     Mayor Nagin slams Blanco for wasting 24 hours before allowing in the Feds HERE.   She didn't even invite EMAC in until it was too late.
SHAME on the media for burying this story about [the Democrat-led] Louisiana authorities preventing the Red Cross and Salvation Army from delivering food, water, medicine, and care to the people trapped in the Superdome, Convention Center and all throughout New Orleans.
[Why] "Did the press miss the most damning aspect of the Katrina video, namely: How could anything serious (e.g. "Louisiana can't handle this. Get that f-----g governor to let us take over") get done at a videotaped meeting?" -- Mickey Kaus, HERE
----> KATRINA: WHAT WENT RIGHT  <----
(Hint for the terminally clueless: The Coast Guard was the ONLY FEDERAL"first responder" there; the rest were supposed to be STATE and LOCAL (City and County).  FEMA was NEVER supposed to be a "first responder.") (Duh)
