Senator Mary L. in major buttcovering mode. And apparently now she's decided that the failure of the levees was a separate event from the hurricane.
The phrase of the day may need to be 'cause and effect'...
"Senator Mary L. in major buttcovering mode. And apparently now she's decided that the failure of the levees was a separate event from the hurricane."
How does she propose to prove that? According to the Corps of Engineers, the hurricane raised the level of Lake Pontchartrain, causing the levees on the two canals to fail. The rest of the entire levee system survived the storm. Unfortunately, the way New Orleans is laid out, they can't have more than a 0% failure rate.
