"Gov. Kathleen Blanco, standing beside the mayor at a news conference, said President Bush called and personally appealed for a mandatory evacuation for the low-lying city, which is prone to flooding."

As this report was filed at "8/28/2005, 10:48 a.m. CT", President Bush most certainly had called Blanco on Saturday, August 27th, the same day the President declared Louisiana a disaster area. Katrina did not hit New Orleans until early a.m. Monday morning.

Don't you know that she was hoping to blame a needless evacuation on the President. And then began the backfire.....too late for her to retract those words so she and her compadres are trying to herd cats now.
