They're going to climb as high as they can on dead bodies caused by RATS but blamed on Bush.

I'm in need of some help!! My rino friend just emailed me an article by Molly Ivins that says in the 2nd paragraph: "To use a fine Southern word, it's tacky to start playing the blame game before the dead are even counted. It is not too soon, however, to make a point that needs to be hammered home again and again, and that is that government policies have real consequences in people's lives."

Then she goes on to say further in the article: Just plain political bad luck that, in June, Bush took his little ax and chopped $71.2 million from the budget of the New Orleans Corps of Engineers, a 44 percent reduction. As was reported in New Orleans CityBusiness at the time, that meant "major hurricane and flood projects will not be awarded to local engineering firms. Also, a study to determine ways to protect the region from a Category 5 hurricane has been shelved for now."

I've seen posted here on FR some references to the fact that Bill Clinton also axed funds to shore up the levies in NO. Can anyone here help me out with either the actual information or direct me to where I can find it.

Thanks so much!

I find it amazing that the Dems can get 100% of a precinct out to vote (in alphabetical order, no less) for Little Mary but can't get those same voters out of NO.
