I sure do remember the turkey and you’re right, he deserves this. It’s a shame it took this long but better late than never.

I still remember that, really pathetic. He’ll undoubtedly ‘come togethu’ with a few of his crooked fellow politicians before long in a federal slammer.

...... this is the kind of crap Bush had to put up with ... a corrupt mayor, a ditsy female 'Rat governor ... and he took the hit. Katrina was Bush's fault.

Louisiana Gov. Blanco was the political protege of Sen. Mary Landrieu and was in constant contact, partly because Blanco and Nagin were both out of their depth to begin with.

Bush wanted to put FEMA assets in-state before the hurricane landed, but Blanco said no, on advice from Mary Landrieu. She used the constitutional division of powers between federal and state government to shut Bush out for, iirc, four days. She only let Bush in when it was too late, and time for the MSM to start shoveling out blame.

So, why did Mary Landreiu tell Blanco to keep Bush out? For the answer to that, we'd have to talk to the man who was in constant contact with Landrieu during the crisis, advising her from somewhere offstage, by the curtains. That was James Carville.

Okay, so who was Carville talking to? Who was the Man Behind the Curtain, who destroyed Bush's second term by tripping up the federal disaster response to "Katrina"?

Someone who wanted his wife to have a walk in the park into the White House in 2008, that's who.
