" I am surprised ABC would even put this story out."
I am hoping that the MSM is realizing that they overreacted the first week when blaming everything on Bush. Now as some of the facts come out and now that they media realizes that Nagin, Blanco, Landrieu are complete morons, the media figures it may want to do some backtracking. At least a little.
I worked for the Ways and Means committee before beginning law school and Jefferson was highly thought of amongst Republicans and quite often went against his party to vote with the Majority (as he did with CAFTA which only passed by 2 votes). Not saying what he did in New Orleans was right, it certainly wasn't, but among members of the committee he is not viewed as your typical Dem.
