" The Bush Administration should have known the Louisiana and New Orleans governments would be too incompetent to do anything right, and should have planned for it."
That's the 600 lb elephant sitting in the middle of the room, that the media will continue to ignore.
And I guarandamntee you, that had President Bush stepped in more forcefully before the hurricane ( and legally, I am not sure exactly what more he could have done )
the Democrats and the media would have been apoplectic , claiming he was undercutting the mayor and governor because they were Democrats.
And then what?
What does Ted think Bush should have done after THOSE buses got trapped in the flood waters?
Send more buses?
