I'm betting that a majority of the country will have absolutely no recollection of who Blanco even is when that time comes. The MSM will see to that by continuing to hammer "Bush's fault" into everyone's heads.
Sadly, I also don't see the republicans using the overwhelming incompetence of Blanco and Nagin as an example of what happens when liberals are in charge. Even if they do, any such attempts will be weak (you know it will) and swiftly denounced by the MSM/dems as a republicans effort to exploit the deaths of thousands for cheap political points during an election campaign, forcing the republicans to cease their "attacks" and switch to damage control mode. Call me a pessimist here but I don't see this ending well at all.
I did not properly state the thought..... The fear of the Rat women is that a female failure will be catching.
The validity of the thought is yet to be determined but they are definitely scared.
