"I believe that a lot of Louisiana's Katrina's issues came not only from incompetence, but from the Dems playing politics against Bush. "

You believe........rightly.

Any fault lies with either ex-governor Kathleen Blanco or the New Orleans mayor. Poor planning before, poor execution during and after.

I remember in the lead up to Katrina , bush calling the governor and mayor asking them to call for a mandatory evacuation . They very publicly derided him saying he was a “ jack-booted thug “ and a dictator for trying to tell them what to do .
