The real story here is the Huey Long politics of Democrat Louisiana government corruption pissed away all the money that could have built dikes to keep out the flood waters. The failure was the perfect storm of what you get with 100% Democrat run government and mother nature. It was the failure of Democrats that caused all the problems not a lack of federal government.

Huey Long's tumultuous career was cut short by an assassin's bullet in 1935. Shot by an assailant in a corridor of the very capitol he built, he died on Sep-
tember 10th. Long is buried on the capitol grounds. A fascist dictator or latter day "Robin Hood", he remains in political lore the one and only "Kingfish".

It's a bit of a stretch to blame ol' Huey for this one! Long had been dead for 70 years by the time Hurricane Katrina hit ... and lots of other crooked Dems had held office and mishandled/misappropriated oodles of state funds in the interim.
