"If your analysis is correct then I hope those using Pres. Bush as cover for political gain will be judge harshly in this life and the next."
It's already started. Heard two libs yesterday blaming Bush for the severity of destruction about to take place because he didn't give us enough money for the coastal restoration projects. One was Congressman Charlie Melancon and can't remember the other one at the moment (Mary Landrieu, perhaps). They aren't capable of taking responsibility for their actions (or lack thereof). It's ALWAYS someone else's fault. And wait and watch for the bozos who will be praising Blanco and Nagin for their work.
WWL reports Katrina's western edge is bumping into dry air flowing from Mexico around the Texas coast---hoping this will knock Katrina down to a Cat 4. Also, reporting a slight shift east, which would move the brunt just east of NO; southshore would still be heavily hit, but the city would be spared a direct hit.
