As feared. The gov't of NO, and the gov't of LA have a lot to answer for. There's no reason that should ever have happened, even if the levees did break.
There is no reason except that people weren't paying attention and the govt. didn't want to evacuate. SHAME! THE BLOOD OF THE INNOCENT WHO DROWNED ARE ON THE HANDS AND HEADS OF THE LOCAL POWER STRUCTURE!
Mayor and governor are toast...It wouldn't surprise me to see Landrieu resign her Senate seat to run for governor..
Ahhh, but they and the media minions have already geared up an effort to blame the Feds (i.e. Bush) for their problems -- from levees to poor preparation for this particular storm.
That's two I've heard about so far (CNN and NBC). O'Brien is in Baton Rouge and Perky Katie is NY, safe and away from the increasingly appropriately named "front lines".
