I heard the Governor would not allow the army into her state unless she had control of them, that this standoff took hours to fix.
Blanco got her marching orders from the DNC to mess Bush up. Meanwhile, Nagin high-tailed it to Dallas to ride out the storm.
The ultimate example of the Rats never letting a crisis go to waste.
Even if Bush wanted to do something, he would have violated the Constitution.
Blanco was totally out of her depth, of course.
