"Mary Landrieu, a suitable symbol of congressional narcissism, dramatized the severity of the tragedy by taking a television interviewer on a helicopter flight over her destroyed beach house."

The Landrieus are a corrupt political family.

You got it. While everybody else is blaming Bush or the La people, only a few thoughtful types are casting blame on the people most adversely affected by Katrina: the residents of NO on public assistance. Only Will and Boortz and thrown stones at the welfare clients of the Big Easy. And I applaud them for it.

Let me just say that every effort should have been made to evacuate those people before the storm hit, and then fast relief should have been applied after the town flooded. But these people, apart from the sick and the elderly, are responsible for their predicament for relying on big government to always get them out of jams. Most! of the black residents of NO made it out before the flood. No one was stopping the people left behind from evacuating. Except for their ingrained belief that BG would always be there to save them.
