Blanco and Nagel (both Democrats, of course) were utterly incompetent in taking decisive action prior to Katrina and responding decisively afterward. To wit - the famous photo of the multitude of stranded buses which could have been used to transport people out of danger. In contrast, Christie, Cuomo, and Bloomberg comported themselves well.

Blanco was the white equivalent of Prissy in GWTW.

Bush should have told Blanco and Nagel to shove it and taken over the emergency preparedness. That was his primary mistake. Normally, conservatives should leave this to the states, but the utter incompetency of Blanco and Nagel was so apparent, they needed to be relieved of duty.

Bush received all the the blame for Blanco and Nagel’s ineptness.

Absolutely. He never fought back about anything.
