Anyone seen Gov. Blanco or Mayor Nagin on TV since this morning?
Not me!
Nope.
I was pretty harsh with them last night, but I'll cut them slack and here's why:
They are both new to their posts. To declare a mandatory evacuation, they were required to have shelters to house those who had to be evacuated. It appears they were waiting for people to leave on their own first so they could shelter 100,000 or less. The Dome only holds 20,000 to 30,000 people.
Like President Bush, they inherited a mess left by previous administrations and are now expected to make miracles because money was spent elsewhere and not for an event that may or may not destroy their city and devastate their state.
