The reaction of the media and liberals to Katrina was completely manufactured outrage, also.
Even before Katrina hit the coast, Bush signed off on Louisiana being a disaster area. We knew it would be bad. The lack of preparation, failure of levees, failure to deploy school buses to evacuate people, etc. all should be blamed on good Democrats, Kathy Blanco, governor at the time, and Ray Nagin, mayor of chocolate city at the time. Yet those local Democrats get no blame for some reason. Everything was blamed on Bush and Republicans.
All true, but there is no excuse for letting a news chopper hover over I-10 showing a bunch of people trapped by flood waters and there is nobody helping them.
That could have easily been avoided. Bush dropped the ball on that one
